Description

Photograph of a golf course in Wilshire Country Club, ca.1920. In the foreground, there are stone steps on a grassy slope that lead up to a golf course. A sand trap can be seen to the left of the center and a group of three female golf players and two caddies are observable to the right. Further to the right, towards the back, another group of players is visible. In the background, the edge of the golf course can be seen surrounded by trees and bushes. Behind this vegetation stand a large building to the left and a two-floor house on the right. Mountain silhouettes can be partially visible in the far background. The back of the photograph reads: "Wilshire Country Club, looking Northeast".
