Opening "The Harriet"

The Grand Golf Club

Opened in 1999, the course has won numerous regional and national awards including:

• Top 25 Luxury Golf Resorts, Golf Magazine, 2019
• Premier Golf Resort: Gold, Golf Magazine, 2014 – 2017
• Top 50 Private Ranges, Golf Ranges Association of America, 2013 – 2017
• Top 10 Golf Resorts in Southern California, Links Insider, 2013

Near the Pacific Ocean, the course offers tight fairway that will reward quality shots but will penalize errants shots which will quickly result in crooked numbers on an individuals scorecard if they don't stay on the fairways.
