Encinitas Ranch Golf Course

Encinitas Ranch Golf Course sits on a sweep of coastal bluffs in Encinitas, California, keeping the Pacific Ocean in view from virtually every part of the 18-hole layout. The proximity to the coast means the course has never recorded a frost delay — a rarity that adds year-round appeal. The design welcomes golfers of all abilities. Five sets of tees, open fairways, and few bunkers give everyone a genuine chance at a low score. The front nine is particularly forgiving, leaving room for ambitious shot-making without steep consequences. The back nine raises the stakes with elevation changes that introduce fresh challenges as the round progresses. Encinitas Ranch Golf Course is one of the most-played courses in California on Hole19, where it carries an average rating of 4.7 — a strong signal of just how well the course is received by the golfers who play it.
