Rancho Santa Fe Since its inception in 1927, the Rancho Santa Fe Association has made every effort to protect, preserve, maintain and enhance the community, its natural resources, beauty, quality of life and community character. That Rancho Santa Fe continues to be a highly desirous place to live is reflective of the care, caution and regulation with which the development of the community has proceeded. There are winding rural roadways, rolling eucalyptus-covered hills, green pastures and citrus groves. The Community has been able to preserve so much of its rural ambiance and historic architectural character due to its unique system of governance and the steadfast commitment of Covenant residents. Under the authority of the Protective Covenant, the Rancho Santa Fe Association has successfully adapted to changing conditions while preserving the fundamental goals established in the 1920's, and will continue to maintain them for future generations. Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club
The original course, designed by Max Behr, opened in 1927 and was the original site of the Bing Crosby Pro-Am tournament. The course underwent an extensive renovation and replanting in 2002. This world-class course is an eighteen hole, 7,073 yard par 72 course recently redesigned by David Fleming. A full service pro shop features bag storage, club repair, merchandise sales and cart rentals. The 13,000 square foot golf clubhouse was extensively remodeled in 1995. Its dining room and lounge are available for use by all Rancho Santa Fe Association members. This facility can also accommodate catered special event group functions for members on a rental basis. The course and clubhouse are located on Via de la Cumbre, north of the Village. Tennis Club
The Tennis Club boasts twelve championship courts including two soft courts. An enthusiastic group of tennis players keep the courts busy with league play, socials, weekly mixers, summer camps for juniors, and tournaments. Private and group lessons are available for adult and junior players of all levels.

The staff includes two full-time professionals, two weekend professionals, and four junior professionals. Rancho Riding Club
The Rancho Riding Club offers box stalls, outside corrals, three turnouts, hot water wash racks, cross ties, 6-horse free flow exerciser and three rings.

From after-school and vacation camps for youth and teens to recreational, social and educational classes for adults, the Center provides all ages of this community with a place of fun and learning. Funded by memberships, contributions, program fees and annual fund-raisers, this non-profit organization relies on the Ranch community to support day-to-day operations. The Community Center's vision for the future is to bring Rancho Santa Fe together in a spirit of collaboration and fun through programs and events that are widely recognized by the community for their value to all age groups. Rancho Santa Fe Historical Society Bringing History Alive - RSF Historical Society Celebrates 20 years! The Rancho Santa Fe Historical Society is celebrating 20 years of service to our community. We honor and salute the founding members who had the vision and foresight to start this important organization. The five original founders were Pat Cologne, Eleanor Shefte, Sandy Somerville, Marcia Van Liew and Gwen Whitehead who also served as the first President. "The idea of the need for Rancho Santa Fe to have a historical Society came to me sometime in the early 1980Õs. At various times I would ask some of my friends who were longtime residents if they had any interest in founding such a group. On October 30, 1984 the articles of incorporation were signed and that was the beginning of a great adventure!" said Whitehead. Our 20th year is being commemorated with plaques and proclamations from Supervisor Bill Horn, Congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham, Senators Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein and Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. The Rancho Santa Fe Historical Society is known for its dedication to preserving, documenting, and educating members of the local community, the many visitors to the area, has even gained nationwide attention for its' World War II Veterans Oral History Project. The Society has published a book, Rancho Santa Fe: a California Village which was just printed in its' fifth edition. Through early and present day photographs the book captures the unique beauty and architectural qualities of one of California's first planned communities. It goes on to describe Rancho San Dieguito, the original granted to Juan Osuna in 1833. The Santa Fe Land Improvement Company developed the original village, renamed Rancho Santa Fe, creating a protective covenant in 1928, which continues to function with broad reaching powers and authority. The RSF Historical Society is housed in La Flecha house, one of famed architect Lillian Rice's designs. La Flecha House was named Landmark #1 and a plaque was unveiled celebrating the designation On July 4, 1989. Sandy Somerville was quoted as saying, "We're very happy to have Rancho Santa Fe Historical site number one." The house was built in the 1930s and now houses artifacts, documents, photographs, and furniture all donated to the Society. We provide educational tours and lectures to students of all ages, offer our archives to researchers, and provide expertise and advice on the preservation of historic homes via our Architectural Review Committee. The house was generously donated by E.L. Bus Reitz and Margarita Reitz.
