Thinking About Living in The Bridges at Rancho Santa Fe?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands The Bridges at Rancho Santa Fe and the surrounding Rancho Santa Fe & North County golf market.
The Bridges at Rancho Santa Fe is a purpose-built, single-developer golf community: a 540-acre guard-gated enclave of 240 estate homes wrapped around one Robert Trent Jones II championship course, developed starting in 2000. It is one of the clearest examples in San Diego County of a golf club and a residential community sharing a single identity, even though the club itself is a separately priced private membership rather than something included with the deed.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Homeownership in The Bridges community does not include golf membership. A separate golf membership (reported around $150,000 initiation plus roughly $3,060/month in dues) or a lower-cost social membership ($25,000 initiation, ~$1,300/month) must be purchased independently, per a Rancho Santa Fe real-estate specialist source. Confirm current figures directly with the club since these were not sourced from the club's own site.
