LOS ANGELES, CA — Invited Clubs, the largest owner and operator of private membership clubs in North America, today announced the completion of a $22 million renovation and reimagination of the historic Mulholland Hills Country Club, formerly known as Braemar Country Club in Los Angeles. The transformation ushers in a new era for the storied property honoring both its deep roots in Southern California history and a bold vision for the future.
Originally established in the late 1950s, Mulholland Hills has long held a special place in Los Angeles—serving as a gathering point for generations of families, golf enthusiasts, and social leaders. The rebranding to Mulholland Hills reflects a renewed commitment to elevated experiences, timeless design, and world-class amenities that speak to the evolving lifestyle of today’s Angeleno, while preserving the club’s legacy of unparalleled service.
“Mulholland Hills was the second country club to join the Invited portfolio, and it has played an important role in Los Angeles club culture for decades,” said David Pillsbury, CEO of Invited Clubs. “This club has been a place where families have grown, friendships have formed, and memories have been made. With Mulholland Hills, we are proud to begin a new chapter — one that introduces three reimagined golf courses and extraordinary culinary experiences that will define the member journey for years to come.”
The name Mulholland Hills pays homage to one of Los Angeles’ most iconic symbols — Mulholland Drive — an enduring emblem of the city’s ambition, glamour, and cinematic history. Stretching from the Hollywood Hills to the Pacific Coast Highway, Mulholland has long represented the intersection of natural beauty and cultural influence. The club’s new identity draws inspiration from this legacy, as well as from the property’s mid-century modern architecture and Hollywood’s Golden Age. Its new logo features an “MH” lettermark designed to echo the rolling hills that frame Los Angeles’ most celebrated landscapes.
Central to the transformation is the complete reinvention of all three championship golf courses: Trails Course (formerly U.S. Open), Vista Course (formerly Western), and Canyons Course (formerly Masters). The redesigns are led by Lanny Wadkins, a member of the World Golf Hall of Fame and one of the game’s most respected figures. Wadkins’ work at Mulholland Hills builds on his recent redesigns for Invited properties including TPC Craig Ranch (Texas), Diamond Run Golf Club (Pennsylvania), and The Clubs at Stonebridge Ranch (Texas). A 21-time PGA TOUR winner, Wadkins brings both competitive insight and architectural excellence to the project.
Beyond the fairways, Mulholland Hills introduces a new culinary vision anchored by Sage & Vine, an upscale dining destination that has quickly become the social heart of the club. The restaurant blends California sophistication with subtle Hollywood inspiration, offering a refined yet approachable dining experience. Complementing it is Goldie’s Grill, a more casual concept that opened in fall 2025, paying tribute to legendary golfer and three-time major champion Ralph “Goldie” Guldahl.
The club’s racquet facilities have also been fully revitalized. All 18 tennis courts and eight pickleball courts have been resurfaced with new nets and posts, alongside the debut of Pickle Perch, a new social hub featuring shaded seating, umbrellas, and a portable bar designed to foster connection and community.
With its sweeping renovations, thoughtful rebranding, and deep reverence for Los Angeles history, Mulholland Hills Country Club stands as a modern reimagining of a beloved institution—where legacy meets lifestyle in the heart of Southern California.
