El Caballero Country Club certainly has a fascinating history. The creator of Tarzan, novelist Edgar Rice Burroughs, purchased a tract of ranch land west of Los Angeles around 1915. He lived in a stately home on the grounds (called Miiflores – Thousand Flowers) and named the area Tarzana Ranch (Tarzana, CA). In the mid 1920s Burroughs built a golf course with surrounding home sites and converted the large home into the clubhouse. The site hosted the 2nd Los Angeles Open in 1927 but its location in the valley west of Los Angeles (too far from LA) and the Depression took its toll with Burroughs losing the property in foreclosure.

El Caballero Country Club was resurrected in the 1950s, and thrives to this day. Very few pieces of original memorabilia from the first incarnation of El Cab are known to exist. It is our understanding that El Cab itself does not have this piece in its archives.
