SANTA CLARITA, Calif. -- "It's not a private club, it just plays like one." These words reflect the philosophy of Robinson Ranch Golf Club in Santa Clarita, Calif. Located 25 miles north of Los Angeles, the club's two 18-hole layouts, the Valley Course and the Mountain Course, are the exact natural replica of California landscapes. Laid out on more than 400 acres of unspoiled land, Robinson Ranch G.C. is surrounded by the Angeles National Forest. Ted Robinson Sr. magically combined two opposite worlds, valleys and mountains, in this beautiful mix of nature, sport and pleasure.

The 25,000-square-foot clubhouse at Robinson Ranch Golf Club boasts rustic ranch decor. In addition to fine dining and a terrace lounge, the clubhouse can host meetings and banquets of up to 300 guests.
