The site was originally a private club named Rancho Country Club. The club ran into some tax problems and the federal government took ownership to satisfy the tax debt and leased it back to the club. Several citizens spearheaded an effort to make the site into a city park. Their efforts were rewarded in 1945 with the creation of Cheviot Hills Park, a park that included the golf course as well as tennis courts and baseball fields.〔http://cheviothills.org/Park.htm〕 A bronze plaque is located on the 508 yard par-5 9th hole (currently the 18th hole), commemorating the occasion during the 1961 Los Angeles Open when Arnold Palmer carded a twelve after a great tee shot was followed by four shots out of bounds.〔 ''Picture of the on-site plaque and commentary confirm 2nd–5th shots were OB. Various published sources disagree on details.''〕
