Shady Canyon Golf Club
Rating/Slope: 74.7/144
Golf Digest rates this course as “one of the best courses in California.” (source: Golf Digest) A Tom Fazio designed course, is designed and built to naturally within the landscape of the canyons, making for an extremely challenging experience. The private course is 7,012 yards in length has membership initiation fees of over $185,000 with monthly dues of over $700 per month. Some celebrities who are/were members of this prestigious Southern California club include retired baseball slugger Mark McGwire and broadcaster Jim Rome.
Because of the natural landscape design of the course, fairway island hopping and extreme dog-leg lefts and rights are extremely common. Plenty of large sand traps also protect the greens as well as the hilly greens making for very hard two-putts.
