Lomas Santa Fe Country Club

Friends and I are still talking about the a new year’s eve wedding and party at Lomas Santa Fe. The food was fantastic, the setting was beautiful, but the best was the staff. Chelsi, wedding coordinator, Chef Matt, Shawn and David in banquets, the rest of the banquet staff, and the general manager, Ted, were all so very professional, gracious and accommodating. Chelsi was so calm, professional and fun to work with, and her recommendations for the flower shop and dress shop were perfect.
I’d highly recommend any type of event, ceremony or party at Lomas Santa Fe Country Club! Thank you all for a great, great wedding and new year’s eve party.

Leane and I have been members of Lomas Santa Fe Country Club since 2012. We decided to have our wedding at Lomas Country Club, given the warm venue (it is cozy and amazing staff).
First off, BIG TIME shout outs to … Chelsi (event coordinator) — Ted (General Manager) and Chef Matt + the entire staff deserve on our New Year’s Eve wedding 1000% serious PROPS — such an amazing and flawless evening! Ted and Chelsi «walked us off the ledge» a few times with our own layout designs in a calm and supportive manner — they had all the confidence that they knew what would be best for our wedding — they are experts! THANK YOU! Our dinning experience was superior — Chef Matt and his staff received highest accolades for his delicious menu (5 star)! Without any reservations — we recommend Lomas for any event — you will NOT BE DISAPPOINTED — so personal and professional — TOP NOTCH!
Much Love,
Jennifer and Leane

Favorite Par 3 course I’ve played. It’s in great shape and the greens roll true. Just can’t give it 5 stars cause I don’t think any Par 3 course is worth $ 40 for a round.

Total fan. Gorgeous greens. I love that you can grab a drink on the patio and watch the guys put. Very peaceful. Great staff, It is beautiful right now with their tree already up.

I attended a luncheon at this place and the food was phenomenal. I was definitely impressed that they had everyone’s (42 people!) lunch served correctly, timely and fresh! Definitely two big thumbs up to the kitchen and serving staff! We also had the pleasure of dealing with Denene and Sunny who checked on the group and made sure we all had a great time! The whole staff treated us well, but these two ladies especially went above and beyond! We all really appreciated the care that went into the event’s coordination and look forward to hosting another in the future!

I recently had my wedding at Lomas Santa Fe Country Club and it was beautiful. I looked at A TON of venues and this one was one of the last. It just felt right. The venue speaks for itself (just had a remodel!) — what I was most impressed with was the support from the event director and coordinator, Krissi and Chelsi. I felt at ease the instant I started talking with Krissi, she’s a total pro. Both Krissi and Chelsi went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect, they honestly made me feel like I was their only client, although I know they have a ton of others!
A huge part of wedding planning is connecting with people, and Krissi and Chelsi completely took control of what they needed to, stepping in with suggestions and advise when needed. They are timely, super personable and fun to work with. I felt very supported throughout the entire process and was continually thankful to have them on my team.
The club and ceremony site is beautiful, its elegant without being ritzy, and it made the backdrop of the most beautiful day of my life all the more beautiful. Its a wonderful mix of elegance and modern rustic style. I really wanted a winery wedding but didn’t want to go as far as Temecula. This is the cozy winery look/​feel, minus the vineyard, add golf green and ocean view!
I guarantee you’ll love Krissi and Chelsi and they will help make your wedding the best day of your life, they are total gems!

Lomas recently went through a remodel inside the club house and took down some trees to give those at the base of the club a sweeping, gorgeous view of the ocean. It’s all very nice, but let’s not fool anyone, the club itself is still a little dated and run down. But the thing is, that’s what I love about it. It’s not fancy, it’s not pretentious, but it’s still a treat to be there for members.
The membership is on the old side. Go there in the mornings and it’s hard to hit a golfer not deep into retirement age, but the on the courts the age level is a little younger. They have a great tennis program, though it’s can be a little more high-​strung than other clubs — especially the women’s teams who care more about winning championships than getting all their roster in matches. This is probably the most important thing to note for the casual player who has a life outside the court and just wants to have fun. But on the flipside of that, there are 3 free member clinics run each week (Sundays at noon, Tuesdays at 5:30p & Thursdays at 6pm) which offers play at a more social level. There are also good youth programs and an ISPE class for the kids at the local middle school. We love all the pros.
The gym is nice and plenty big enough. There are also daily classes. Biggest complaint is the spotty wi-​fi (wanna watch Hulu while you elliptical — not gonna happen). They also have a pool (with diving board) and a lifeguard. Great for kids. The locker rooms are dated and a bit cramped. I never use them. For anyone under 18, there are «family locker rooms» aka glorified bathrooms with some rental lockers. This speaks to the age the club caters to. But aside from grumpy gray hairs who like to grouse at the younger set hanging around the club, it’s still a place my tweens enjoy.
Lomas offers a range of social events, but unless it’s specifically for the families, the age weighs heavy on the olds. They also have a happy hour though.

We recently had our wedding here and could not have been happier. From the very first tour of the place with Chelsi we were sold. She was extremely knowledgeable and professional, and really went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect. The day of, everything went off without a hitch and Chelsi and Krissi were there to make sure the ceremony ran smoothly. Our guests all loved the venue location and raved that it was some of the best wedding food they have ever had. We only wish our wedding could have lasted longer… it was such a perfect day at a perfect venue. I would definitely recommend this venue to anybody who wants an unforgettable wedding with great customer service.

Top notch course and well taken care of. The course was difficult but fortunately there is not a lot of water so I didn’t lose a ton of balls! They didn’t have a cart girl when we went which was slightly disappointing.

Played the course many times and was a tennis member for years. It is an older club with a much cheaper buy in for membership. Olympic swimming pool, great summer programs for kids for swimming. But the golf course is another story. Now some people love Lomas and would never, ever change courses. I have played it probably 15 times as I get invited to ladies guest day events. But every time I play it, half way through the tournament I ask my girlfriends politely to never invite me back. It is once again, in my humble opinion, a housing development with a golf course shoved through it as an after thought. If you successfully miss all the trees, good luck missing the electrical poles and wires on some holes. It is only 18 holes so getting a tee time needs to be done well in advance. Very hilly, cold as it gets its breeze off the ocean and the fog can and does roll in. I am a long but not perfectly straight driver so I spend half my time using my pitching wedge to get out from behind a tree. But I would play it once at least. And Sheldon Callahan is a great pro at the club and has helped my game in the past tremendously.

Great golf course. Greens are kept wonderfully and course is laid out perfect. One of the more challenging courses in SD. Carts are nice but do not provide any GPS so exact distances are tough to judge due to the many level changes on the course. BRING A rangefinder. Range is fun but balls could be replaced for two thumbs up! I will definitely will be back for another round!

I love being a member here. Everyone is really nice and the gym is great! The course is a little tough for me, but I guess there is always room for improvement out on the links…

I’ve been to the gym here a few times as a guest. It’s not as ritzy as some of the other nearby clubs, but it’s almost better this way. The yoga/​group ex room is smaller, but the classes are not too populated, which I like. The club is never too crowded and there aren’t as many desperate women wearing up your ass shorts. If your goal is to quietly work out in a clean and nice gym or do some laps in a relaxing, uncrowded pool, then this is the perfect place for you.

LSFCC is a great, low-​key country club with great service and amenities.
While the majority of the members are older, we are seeing some shift toward more «contemporary» families. The club really focuses on setting up a lot of social family friendly activities. Everything from «dive-​in Movies» (on a projector screen by the pool) in summer, to JR golf and tennis programs. I can’t recommend enough this as a good «entry level» club for families in the area.
The golf course is fairly «mild» by most standards and in truth is a bit dated. This is probably not the right place for super low handicappers looking for a challenge, but for your average golfer it is great. Some hole are narrower than others, some are more forgiving — it’s a mixed bag.
The tennis and pool facilities are great, and are usually not over crowded. The fitness center and associated facilities were recently (past 5 years) upgraded and they are nice.
The dining is «fair» and fairly priced. While it’s not necessarily gourmet by local standards, they do serve nice «home style» meals and as the others have mentioned, the wait staff is superior to every other restaurant in the area.
We are very happy we joined the club, and we encourage all families to tour the facilities and see what LSFCC has to offer.

It is such a great location and has some nice facilities (pool, locker/​shower area, gym) but is desperately in need of customer service upgrading if they want to attract younger families. The food in the club seems geared for the senior set — revamping for healthier and fresher cuisine would be great. Went to an Easter brunch yesterday and the food, with a couple of exceptions (tri tip, omelets, waffles) the food was over processed (turkey should have been a fresh turkey, ceasar salad was drowning in dressing, fish was overcooked and dry). The waitresses are always great, add to a homey feel. The pool is great, but the pool area is very bland concrete.

Lovely, low-​key country club. Great for golf or tennis, and also good lessons for kids. Thank you on behalf of the Rancho Santa Fe Unit of Rady Children’s Hospital Auxiliary.

LSFCC was a wonderful course to grow up on. The course is challenging, the day-​to-​day staff is really awesome. The corporate office is really awful. My parents are trying to get their deposit back after 30 years and they are completely disrespectful. It is really too bad because I was going to join along with my brother, but after this corporate craziness, there is NO WAY!!! If you plan on being a member for only a few years, then go for it– but don’t expect your deposit back. I heard there might be some legal action.

I’ve been a social member for two years and enjoy this club. The pool is never too crowded and each summer offers plenty of social events.
The gym is mostly aerobic equipment so bodybuilders probably wouldn’t like it but its’ suitable for my sporadic visits. The restaurant is spotty. Sometimes the food is out-​of-​this-​world and sometimes it’s just average.
What makes LSF a special place is the staff. They are extremely attentive to the members’ needs and really make you feel like the Club is an extension of your home. I’ve hosted a half a dozen business meetings there and all have been well done.
