Billionaire Rick Caruso<\/a> has unveiled the first images of his new private lake club ahead of its opening this fall, offering a look inside the private golf and social club taking shape behind the gates of the Sherwood community near Thousand Oaks.<\/p>\n

Caruso, the developer behind The Grove<\/a>, The Americana at Brand and The Commons at Calabasas is expanding into private hospitality with the Miramar Lake Club\u2014a waterfront property nestled in the Santa Monica Mountains that aims to combine golf, dining and social experiences for its members, according to Los Angeles Magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The property, formerly known as Sherwood Lake Club, changed hands earlier this year following the death of former owner David H. Murdock<\/a> \u2014 the billionaire businessman who built Dole Food Co. into the world\u2019s largest producer and marketer of fruits and vegetables.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt came together very quickly. I knew Dave Murdock well, and I knew the quality that he put into everything that he built,\u201d Caruso told The Hollywood Reporter <\/a>of the new social club.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe whole development behind the gates out there, it\u2019s really one of a kind. To own part of that with our own club, I thought it was an opportunity that we couldn\u2019t pass up,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

At the heart of the club is an 18-hole, par-3 golf course designed by golf legend Jack Nicklaus. Caruso<\/p>\n

At the heart of the club is an 18-hole, par-3 golf course designed by golf legend Jack Nicklaus. The layout is one of only two in the world and the only one in the United States, welcoming beginners while offering a more layered playing experience for seasoned golfers.<\/p>\n

Caruso said the project grew from golf\u2019s rising popularity, as participation climbed more than 50% over the past decade.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Miramar Lake Club is our vision for where golf is heading; more welcoming, more dynamic, and deeply rooted in experience,\u201d Caruso added.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an opportunity to bring a new level of hospitality, design, and community to the game, creating a destination unlike anything that exists today.\u201d<\/p>\n

The club is also designed to offer more than just golf. Members will have access to an 18,000-square-foot clubhouse, a resort-style pool, state-of-the-art fitness and training facilities, tennis courts, wellness amenities, a culinary program, and a signature restaurant concept led by a yet-to-be-announced award-winning chef.<\/p>\n

Additionally, a calendar of social events is planned as part of the club\u2019s membership experience, with Caruso envisioning the property as a place where members can build connections beyond the golf course.<\/p>\n
