THE BRIDGES
AT RANCHO SANTA FE
California
Hidden amid the citrus groves and canyons of Southern California, the extraordinary golf course at The Bridges at Rancho Santa Fe was designed by Robert Trent Jones II. Here the lush green tones of the fairways and greens flow through the course in striking contrast to the rocky terrain that surround them. With bridges stringing together the golf holes as required, a singular, unforgettable golf experience has been created.
The 7,000-yard, par-71 challenge can seem daunting from some tees, yet five sets of tee boxes are offered, to cater for all skill levels, and golfers need to remember that first appearances can be deceptive. Yes, there are craggy canyons into which wayward golf balls will never re-emerge, yet the target areas are always broader and more receptive than they at first appear. Therein lies the magic of The Bridges.
