Fairbanks Ranch Country Club sits in the rolling hills of Rancho Santa Fe, an affluent enclave in San Diego County known for eucalyptus groves and Mediterranean climate. The club features two eighteen-hole courses, with the Lakes/Ocean course designed by Ted Robinson Jr., who continued his family's legacy of Southern California golf architecture. The Robinson family, including Ted Robinson Sr., became known for incorporating water features into their designs, and this course reflects that signature approach with lakes and streams woven throughout the routing. The Lakes/Ocean layout takes advantage of the property's natural terrain, moving through valleys and across hillsides with views extending toward the Pacific Ocean in the distance. The course presents a parkland character with mature trees, strategic bunkering, and the water hazards that define several key holes. Robinson's design emphasizes shot values and course management, requiring players to navigate the hazards while working with the property's elevation changes. Fairbanks Ranch operates as a private equity club serving the Rancho Santa Fe community. The facility includes both golf courses along with tennis and other amenities typical of Southern California country clubs. The club maintains a family-oriented membership culture reflective of its residential setting, where many members live within the surrounding Fairbanks Ranch development. The courses provide year-round play in San Diego's temperate coastal climate.
