The Golf Club of California

Overview: The Golf Club of California is a public 18-hole course in Fallbrook, designed by Wade Cable and Johnny Potts. The par-72 layout reaches about 6,925 yards through oak, sycamore and eucalyptus country, with creeks, wildflowers, elevation changes and native grasses giving the course a distinctly inland San Diego character.

History: The course was created around 2002 and is credited to Wade Cable and Johnny Potts. Its design integrates existing trees and creek corridors into the routing rather than treating them as background. The property’s current presentation is public, following an earlier period when the course was associated more narrowly with private play.

Did You Know? The course’s named holes include Ascension, Cyclops and Descension, names that reflect its changes in elevation and visual character. They are small clues to how the layout uses the Fallbrook landform as part of its architecture.
