Tarzana contains two country clubs (with golf courses) nestled in the Santa Monica Mountains: El Caballero Nation Club and Braemar Country Club. At the remote southern finish of Reseda Blvd., there are a number of luxurious gated communities, including Mulholland Park, Silverhawk Ridge, Monte Verde and Braemar Estates.
