Course Design

Welcome to The Ranch Golf Club!  You are in for one of the best golf experiences you can find anywhere. This golf course was created on a wonderful historic piece of land. It's a mixture of open meadows and woodland, interspersed with beautiful creeks, and a dash of wetlands tossed in to make each hole exciting and memorable.

To successfully negotiate your way around The Ranch Golf Club you'll have to analyze each shot and carefully consider your options.  There are many opportunities to take risks that will be richly rewarded if properly executed.  Even so, we think we have placed enough mystery and intrigue into the course to entice you to come back and take on the challenge again.

I hope you enjoy playing The Ranch and experience the true spirit of the greatest game ever conceived.

About the Architect

Damian Pascuzzo began his career working with famed designer Robert Muir Graves. In 1991, he became the principal designer and partnered with Graves to form Graves & Pascuzzo based in El Dorado Hills, California.

In 2001 he was elected President of the American Society of Golf Course Architects. Pascuzzo continues to play an active role in the leadership of that organization.

In 2006, longtime veteran of the PGA Tour, Steve Pate joined with Damian Pascuzzo to form Pascuzzo & Pate Golf Course Design. Steve brings his vast knowledge of golf and playing strategy gained from competing on the great courses of the world for over 30 years. Pate's professional career includes six PGA Tour wins, and membership on two Ryder Cup teams.

Their portfolio encompasses the total spectrum of site characteristics and environmental challenges including, Tropical Jungles, Mountain Forests, Seashores, Deserts and Land Reclamation. In the end, it is the firm's goal on every project to design a golf course that complements rather than competes with the surrounding environment, thus providing a truly enjoyable golfing experience.

At The Ranch Golf Club, Damian had a wonderful piece of historic land to work with. He had a mixture of meadows and woodland interspersed with beautiful creeks and a dash of wetlands, which makes each hole a challenging and memorable experience.
