In December of 2004, the Soboba Band of Luiseno Indians purchased Soboba Springs Royal Vista Golf Club from the Honolulu based company, Waterhouse, Inc. It was always a dream of the tribal leaders to own the beautiful golf course that bordered their reservation.

Immediately, they began planning development of the golf course site to return the facility to the premier golf destination in Southern California and beyond. They contracted the services of Cary Bickler, golf course architect and disciple of Desmond Muirhead, the original golf course designer in 1966.

What you see today is the new Country Club at Soboba Springs; completely renovated bunkers, including 25 newly placed bunkers, all filled with Augusta White bunker sand; laser leveled teeing areas with the addition of new tee boxes on each hole, lengthening the course nearly 250 yards from the original back tee to a stout 7053 yards for the “experienced” player, as well as shortening the course nearly 1000 yards from the original forward tee for the less “experienced” player; beautiful waterfalls, rock walls and streams have replaced outdated features and enhanced the look of the course; extensive tree work has increased the “long views” and brought the surrounding scenery to the golf course and hidden otherwise unsightly areas.

The next phase of construction will include completing all lake shorelines, adding water circulation devises and continuing to place accent boulders throughout the course.

In May, construction will begin on our new clubhouse facility, an expanse of four buildings with the 2 level clubhouse building as the main attraction. 31,000 sq/ft of usable space includes banquet dining, private dining and formal dining totaling 500 inside seats. Outdoor covered terraces will overlook the finishing hole and provide banquet opportunities for an additional 200 people. Rock waterfalls will grace the exterior of the building and help to bring the golf course feeling into the clubhouse.
