History

Establishment of this club was part of a larger real estate project which contributed to the founding of the town of Bel Air, Los Angeles.[1] Officially incorporated on 2 June 1927, the modern Bel-Air Bay Club exists as two separate facilities, divided by the Pacific Coast Highway. Bell designed the Upper Bel-Air Bay Club clubhouse specifically so visitors would have a view of the Los Angeles coastline.
