I seem to remember having read there was some other country club at one time located near Pico and Western; if memory serves this club still exists but not at that location.

Images of the earlier LACC, which started out as the Los Angeles Golf Club in 1897 at Pico and Alvarado--the curving streets of Alvarado Heights are there now--moved less than a year later to Hobart and 16th, and in 1899 yet again, 2/10 of a mile west to the northeast corner of Pico and Western. Apparently the clubhouse seen here was built at the middle site and moved the short distance to Pico and Western, a site that later gave way to the "Country Club District." The fourth pic shows the search party out at the new site and current on the other side of Beverly Hills. Five-foot-five "Little Joe" Sartori, an original club founder and a big man in L.A.'s rise, is sitting at right.
