LOS ANGELES — The No. 14 tee is tucked into the northwest corner of the Los Angeles Country Club, hugging a tall fence covered with pink climbing roses.
While golfers weigh whether to muscle over or lay up in front of three cavernous bunkers that rudely seal off the fairway halfway to the pin 628 yards away, their focus is interrupted by a cacophony from behind the wall.
Cockatoos wail. Monkeys screech. Peacocks honk and cry. They are the last remaining birds and primates from Hugh Hefner’s 45-year ownership of the 5-acre Playboy Mansion compound.
