Majestic Golf Club originally planned in Portugeuse Bend area of Rancho Palos Verdes
From the beginning, Frank Vanderlip had great plans for the development of the Palos Verdes Peninsula. As early as 1912, Vanderlip hired architects, including the landscape architectural firm of Olmsted Brothers, to draw up a masterplan for the development. Original plans included the construction of a magnificent golf club on the bluffs overlooking Portuguese Bend, to be known as “Los Palos Verdes Country Club”. The golf links was to include a clubhouse with 150 guest rooms, locker rooms,and numerous dining and community rooms. Other amenities were to include a large swimming pool, tennis courts, polo grounds, and a yacht club with concrete pier.
