Situated on 729 acres of the pristine San Dieguito River Valley and surrounded by blue skies and tree-lined hills, The Crosby embodies the casual elegance that historically has been part of this exclusive area. Beauty, seclusion and tradition are the great ideals that have always defined life here. A retreat that provides a serene outdoor lifestyle, Rancho Santa Fe and the San Dieguito River Valley are places where inspired architecture blends with secluded hills and graceful trees to create a storybook setting of grace and elegance.
	These ideals have been carried into the design of The Crosby community as well as into the eighteen holes of Fred Couples and Brian Curley-designed golf that form the centerpiece of this private country club. Four of the course's par 3s also play downhill, epitomized by the 174-yard 11th hole with its dramatic red rocks and abandoned mine shaft framing a tiny green. The longest par 3 at The Crosby is the 13th hole at 240 yards. Its inviting green sits approximately 100 feet below the tee box. The course's only par 3 that doesn't play downhill is the 183-yard 8th hole which features a three-tiered set into a natural amphitheater of rock formations with a steep ravine full of native chaparral in front.
				The entire layout is dramatic, yet fairways are generous and the elevation changes and distance between greens and tee boxes make each hole a picturesque experience. The North County San Diego region's serenity lends itself to a relaxing atmosphere that helps to create legendary golf experiences that continue to challenge and inspire year after year.
