The Rancho Bernardo Inn Women’s Golf Club was founded in 1963. The first Invitational was a three-day event in spring 1964 and has since grown into one of the premier women’s golfing events in the county.
Rancho Bernardo Inn, located at 17550 Bernardo Oaks Drive in north San Diego County, is a destination resort known for its superb golf and spa facilities and for its exceptional cuisine.
The 18-hole championship golf course opened for play in 1962 and was originally designed by William Francis Bell, also the architect of Torrey Pines and several other top-rated courses in Southern California. RBI is managed by JC Golf Management and has a championship rating of 72.3. More information about the course is available at 888-976-4417 or at https://www.ranchobernardoinn.com.
