LOMAS SANTA FE COUNTRY CLUB

The eucalyptus-lined fairways and coastal bluffs create dramatic elevation changes that demand precise club selection, while the kikuyu rough punishes errant shots with the severity only Southern California can deliver. Dick Rossen's 1964 design maximizes the natural arroyos and canyons, turning what could have been another forgettable suburban layout into a strategic test where course management trumps raw distance. The finishing stretch along the mesa offers glimpses of the Pacific between towering trees, rewarding survivors of the demanding front nine with both visual relief and genuine birdie opportunities.
