The 6,400 yard course meanders through an upscale residential community, presenting the golfer with panoramic mountain views.

Designed by Ron Fream, the course has hosted U.S. Open qualifying, the San Diego Open qualifying and many local events. The club offers practice facilities, teaching professionals, club rentals, a complete golf shop, restaurant and bar, and banquet facilities. « less
