The Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club will improve the entrance and wayfinding of the club with a new paver plaza project. (Karen Billing)<\/p>\nThe Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club will soon begin work on a new \u201cplaza paver\u201d project to upgrade the expanded entrance to the club campus. The plaza aims to link amenities such as the new clubhouse and snack bar currently under construction and the widened cart path in a revitalized new welcome point to the Covenant\u2019s historic golf course.<\/p>\n
On Oct. 1, the Rancho Santa Fe Association board approved the $850,000 expenditure for the project, funded entirely by the golf club. Tom Huesgen, the RSF Golf Club\u2019s director of agronomy, said the plan was reviewed and approved by the Association\u2019s Art Jury and audit and finance committee, as well as the RSF Golf Club board and numerous club committees as the project impacts nearly every aspect of operations.<\/p>\n
Huesgen said the project is complex and the hope is for construction to be completed by the first week of February 2027\u2014his biggest concern is the expected super El Ni\u00f1o, the wet weather this winter that could slow down the construction process. During the construction, there will admittedly be some access challenges but the outcome will be a much improved experience, he said.<\/p>\n
The welcome plaza to the club will be about 10 to 12 feet wider than it was before, providing a connected entrance to the new clubhouse and restaurant, players\u2019 clubhouse and pro shop, and the expanded snack bar, incorporating new landscape features. Huesgen said it will have a great view of the course, framed by two new stately oak trees.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnce construction is complete, it\u2019s going to be the best it\u2019s ever been,\u201d Huesgen said.\u00a0 \u201cWhen it is done, it will be epic, tying all of these amenities together and solving numerous challenges, problems and concerns we\u2019ve had\u2026We\u2019re feeling really, really confident and positive about what this represents for the community as well as the golf club, and, more importantly I think, the first impression (of the campus).\u201d<\/p>\n

RSF Association Chief Administrative Officer Dominique Albrecht noted that some of the work has been required by the county: \u201cWhile it will be beautiful and I think will help reduce the visual clutter when you\u2019re first coming in and seeing all the carts, much of it is required as part of stormwater requirements,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Progress continues on the\u00a0 Association\u2019s ongoing clubhouse and restaurant renovation and is getting to the \u201cpretty part,\u201d Albrecht said, readying for a fall opening. A lot of time has been spent behind the walls on work such as addressing wood rot and fixing plumbing, but Albrecht said they are now moving into the beautification stage, installing wood flooring and wall finishes, and doing the restroom tile work. The restaurant\u2019s new kitchen recently received a temporary certificate of occupancy from the county allowing them to start prepping the kitchen and training staff.<\/p>\n
The snack bar renovation also continues\u2014when completed it will feature an enhanced kitchen, upgraded restrooms, and an expanded outdoor patio space that will include a small upper patio on top of the structure. The golf club aims to finish work by the end of the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club will soon begin work on a new \u201cplaza paver\u201d project to upgrade…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":484993,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[6837,6838,74,76,75],"class_list":["post-484992","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-diego","tag-rancho-santa-fe-review","tag-rancho-santa-fe-review-news","tag-san-diego","tag-san-diego-headlines","tag-san-diego-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/484992","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=484992"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/484992\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/484993"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=484992"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=484992"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=484992"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
