"We are thrilled to have earned a top ranking once again this year," said Don King, director of golf. "We are proud of our golf course and are committed to providing an exceptional golf experience for our players."
Opened in 2001, the championship-caliber course was originally designed by Todd Eckenrode of Gary Roger Baird Design International. Eckenrode now leads all design for Origins Golf Design and provided assistance for Barona's turf reduction project.
