Altadena Country Club

The Altadena Town & Country Club is a private, member equity owned club. It is nestled in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains encompassing several verdant acres of tennis courts, gardens, and a swimming pool. The Club is also an elegant venue for social gatherings, offering several banquet rooms and full service catering for both members and the public. It serves the local communities of Altadena, Pasadena, Sierra Madre, Arcadia, La Canada, and San Marino as a unique meeting place for social, cultural, and community gatherings. Altadena Drive is one of the major east-west roadways in Altadena, California, stretching almost continuously from one end of the town to the other. The road is actually a convergence of several smaller roads which were established over the half century of a growing Altadena community. It begins at a cul-de-sac at the Arroyo Seco, the west-most boundary of Altadena, and runs due west as West Altadena Drive to Fair Oaks Avenue where it becomes East Altadena Drive. At Mendocino Lane it becomes North Altadena Drive which continues into Pasadena to Colorado Boulevard where it becomes South Altadena Drive. The road does not come to any terminus, but its name changes to Santa Anita Avenue (see history section below) and carries into San Marino.
