Description:: Parkridge Country Club in Corona opened in 1925. It had one of the best golf courses in California. Under financial stress by 1927, it was sold to three African American businessmen from Los Angeles, including Journee White (a wealthy real estate businessman) and Eugene C. Nelson (a physician). The Ku Klux Klan burned a cross on the front lawn, white club members sued the previous white owner, and by 1929 the black buyers were forced to withdraw their bid. It became a sanitarium and was demolished in the 1960’s to make way for the Cresta Verde Golf Course and housing development.
