South

Most of the course lies south of Wilshire Boulevard, beneath the office towers of Century City. The success of the North’s restoration helped create momentum for reworking this part of the Club’s property, bringing the two courses into the same period of renewal through different design projects.⁴

Work began in late 2015, after an earlier generation of renovations to both courses under John Harbottle’s master plan in 1996 and 1997. The Club records the South reopening in July 2016, during the same summer that its renewed historic clubhouse returned to use.¹

A contemporary interview found Hanse operating a bulldozer at the South while shaping new greens and bunkers. He described that construction work as an essential part of his practice. This was substantial rebuilding on the ground, and the report explicitly identified the commission as a complete redesign.³

The Club describes the resulting course as having broad fairways that run into native grasses and wood-chip areas without a conventional band of rough. That treatment was intended to complement the North while giving members a different experience. Its modern design should be distinguished from the North’s historical restoration.¹
