🇺🇸 Lakeside, CA, USA
Designed by Gary Roger Baird, Todd Eckenrode

Barona Creek Golf Club, cradled in the rugged foothills of Lakeside, California, offers a demanding yet accessible layout that mirrors the untamed spirit of San Diego's backcountry. This modern course, carved into the natural contours of the landscape, presents a unique challenge where wayward shots are often penalized by thick native grasses.
Designed by Gary Roger Baird, Barona Creek lacks an elite provenance, but has been a favorite among local players since its opening. It offers a fair test, with generous fairways often lulling players into a false sense of security before confronting strategically placed bunkers and undulating greens.
While it hasn't hosted major championships, Barona Creek is a staple on the local amateur circuit, hosting qualifiers and regional events. The club's commitment to course conditioning and friendly service has cultivated a loyal following, making it a popular destination for weekend rounds and corporate outings. The pro shop is known for its selection of hard-to-find golf accessories, a quirk that adds to its local charm.
