Ventura Boulevard
has been the most prominent strip in the San Fernando Valley for over
50 years. This unique “Melrose of the Valley” stretches for almost ten
miles but is the busiest and most traveled from Tarzana to Studio
City. This lively strip offers visitors shops of all kinds including
unique and eccentric establishments as well as first-class restaurants
of all cultures and tastes. Boutiques like Fred Segal, Dari, Mark
Jacobs, Matthew Williamson and Me & Ro, just to name a few, draw
visitors from all over the Valley and parts of Los Angeles. At
nighttime, the boulevard comes alive with lights and activity with
many young people “cruising” the “strip.” The culture found along this
famous strip is profuse and undeniable.
The Braemar Country
Club in Tarzana offers two regulation eighteen-hole courses. The West
Course is hillier than the East Course and has tree-lined fairways
that are extremely narrow. On the West Course, water comes in to play
on two holes. The East Course is designed similarly to the West Course
but with flatter terrain. Water comes in to play on five holes on the
East Course. Both courses have small greens that are medium speed.
