Few private clubs in San Diego County carry the pedigree of Lomas Santa Fe Country Club, which has been a fixture of the North County coastal community since the early 1970s. The course was designed by Ted Robinson Sr., the prolific Southern California architect best known for incorporating water features dramatically into his layouts, and his handiwork here is very much in evidence — water comes into play on a significant number of holes, rewarding precise shot-making and punishing overconfidence.
Solana Beach sits just a few miles north of Del Mar, in a stretch of coastal Southern California where the climate is about as cooperative for year-round golf as anywhere in the country. The marine layer rolls in from the Pacific most mornings and burns off by midday, keeping temperatures mild and the turf a consistent green even in the height of summer.
As a private members' club, Lomas Santa Fe offers a relaxed but polished atmosphere typical of established North County San Diego clubs — a genuine community anchor rather than a resort showpiece.
