Dos Osos Golf Club: the course at the heart of the community
Eighteen holes threading through Rancho San Pasqual — closed in 2024, rebuilt from the irrigation up, soft-opened that November and reborn as Dos Osos with a grand opening in May 2025. Here's the story, and how to play it.
Updated
From Eagle Crest to Dos Osos
For three decades the course was Eagle Crest Golf Club — a David Rainville design that opened in 1992 and gave Rancho San Pasqual its fairway views. In May 2024 new owners brought on JC Golf (the operator behind Rancho Bernardo Inn and Twin Oaks) and closed the course for a top-to-bottom renovation — rebuilt irrigation, reshaped bunkers, cleared drainage tunnels, a restored waterfall on No. 6, and drought-tolerant Bermuda turf.
The course soft-opened November 1, 2024 and held its grand opening May 19, 2025 with city officials and the county supervisor on hand. The new name honors dos osos — two rehabilitated California black bears released by the San Diego Humane Society's Ramona Wildlife Center.
Food, fun & how to play for less
🍕 Dos Osos Cocina
The clubhouse kitchen serves fresh-baked pizzas, breakfast burritos, sandwiches, and cold beer on an oversized deck overlooking the 18th hole — roughly sunrise to sunset, with pre-orders for pickup at the turn. Restaurant & events line: (760) 737-9760.
Heads-up: whether non-golfers can drop in for dinner isn't posted anywhere official — call ahead and we'll publish the answer once confirmed.
🎉 Weekly happenings
The club runs a monthly slate of Taco Tuesdays, Wine Wednesday, Pizza Night, Happy Hour, Bingo Brunch, and Friday Night Live (live music on the deck). Schedules post on the club's Facebook page. The Founders Club ($65/yr with SCGA membership) adds weekly competitions.
💰 Playing for less
Public rates run $65 weekdays, $69 Fridays and $85 weekends, cart included, with twilight ($45–65) and super-twilight ($35–45) windows. Juniors pay $35–40 ($20–25 walking at the JC Junior rate). There's no separate Rancho San Pasqual resident rate — JC Golf also sells a JC Players Card ($309–469/yr: round coupons, 8-day advance booking, early twilight access, guest passes, 15–25% shop discounts).
📋 On the city's desk: an RV resort at the club
The course's owner, PG Dos Osos LLC, is seeking a Rancho San Pasqual Specific Plan amendment for a "Dos Osos RV Resort and Golf Club" at 2492 Old Ranch Rd: 82 RV spaces and 42 park-model cottages (city case PL26-0121). On June 24, 2026 the city council voted 5-0 to let staff process the application (Resolution 2026-111); that is not an approval, and environmental review and public hearings come next.
