Walter Hagen and Goldilocks would agree, Encinitas Ranch is just right. Of all the courses in San Diego, and there are a lot, Encinitas Ranch is the only one offering unique resort-style shot value and scenic hilltop vistas.

The friendly staff, convenient location—just off the I-5, and beautiful setting makes Encinitas Ranch one North County’s top courses.

Famed golf architect Cary Bickler presents golfers with open fairways and dramatic elevation changes on an easier front 9. But the tighter and more demanding back 9 sweeps around a lake and through luxury housing tracts before returning to a rustic clubhouse replete with an outdoor cobblestone fireplace.

Set amid a nature preserve, panoramic Pacific views and snow-covered San Bernadino Mountains in the distance, Encinitas Ranch has plenty of esthetic beauty. Even in Southern California, where beautiful sunsets outnumber convertible BMWs, you’d be hard-pressed to find such scenic diversity.

Five-time PGA Champion Walter Hagen would have enjoyed Encinitas Ranch. Hagen, who despite his 11 Major Championships, frequently reminded golfers to ‘Stop and smell the roses.’
