About this course
Strawberry Farms, carved into the rolling hills of Irvine, is a course defined by its namesake heritage: the land was once blanketed in verdant strawberry fields. The par-71 course unfolds as a classic, modern American design, built to challenge players of all abilities. The course favors neither the bomber nor the strategist, but consistently tests every aspect of one's game. Architect Doug Beach’s design features dramatic elevation changes and numerous water hazards, demanding precise shot-making and strategic course management. While not a championship venue, the course is known locally for its challenging layout and meticulously maintained greens. The club's relaxed atmosphere and focus on community create a welcoming environment. Players often enjoy the course's signature strawberry shortcake, a nod to its unique past. As the sun sets over the Saddleback Mountains in the distance, the legacy of the strawberry fields lives on.

Getting there
Most visitors arrive via John Wayne Airport (SNA), a mere fifteen minutes south of the club, making Strawberry Farms one of Southern California's most accessible private sanctuaries. The brief drive north along the 405 corridor quickly peels away from Orange County's coastal sprawl, transitioning into the serene, oak-studded canyons of Irvine's protected backcountry. As the road climbs gently into the foothills, the urban hum fades entirely, replaced by rolling grasslands and the first glimpses of the club's terracotta-roofed hacienda - a hidden enclave that feels worlds removed from the Pacific beaches just twenty minutes west.
