Located in Pacific Palisades, the Bel-Air Bay Club was financed by one of the most well known developers of Los Angeles,
Alphonzo Bell. 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. 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. == Design and layout ==
