Built in 1988 in the ruggedly beautiful terrain of Rancho Santa Fe, one of San Diego’s most prestigious communities, The Farms Golf Club, a private, member-owned equity club, was created and built for golf enthusiasts…golfers serious in their commitment to the game and its historical traditions.

Originally designed by Pete, Perry and Alice Dye with assistance from golfing great, Tommy Jacobs, The Farms golf course was extensively remodeled in 2000 under the guidance of golf course architect John Fought and his associate, PGA tour professional Tom Lehman. 

With modifications designed to improve the playability and maintainability of the course, changes included newly reconstructed and recontoured bent grass putting greens that allow for more undulation and additional hole locations; new teeing areas and bunkering that test a player’s ability to visualize and execute the proper shot; a state-of-the-art irrigation system; and a wonderful practice facility featuring a double-ended driving range, complete with target greens and bunkers.  Nestled amidst gently rolling hills and hollows, several additional water features and newly created high rough landscaping add to the course’s beauty and the sense of peaceful seclusion that prevails on this championship course.

Overlooking the magnificent golf course is a 38,000 square-foot clubhouse designed by clubhouse architect Robert Altevers.  Thoughtfully planned and beautifully appointed with traditional furnishings, the clubhouse offers magnificent views of the golf course in an atmosphere of understated elegance.  With one of the most extraordinary staffs anywhere, the level of service is appreciated by the entire membership and recognized throughout the industry.  Their mission is simple: to provide the member with an experience beyond expectation.

The Farms offers breakfast and lunch Tuesday through Sunday and a variety of holiday and themed events are also scheduled throughout the year.  In addition, Friday casual dinners are scheduled June through August each summer.

While members at The Farms are diverse in their interests, occupations and tastes, the common thread of their love for the game is the underlying reason for the club’s being.
