Thinking About Living in Mission Viejo Country Club?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Mission Viejo Country Club and the surrounding South Orange County golf market.
Mission Viejo Country Club has operated since 1967 as part of the original master-planned city of Mission Viejo, and remains a private, member-owned equity club with an invitation-only membership process. It is one of South Orange County's older private clubs, predating the newer Coto de Caza and Dove Canyon developments by roughly two decades.
Golf & Course
The Robert Trent Jones Sr.-designed course opened in April 1967 across 165 acres, described by the club as its 'most treasured asset,' with Andalusian-influenced clubhouse architecture.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Membership has always been invitation-only, requiring sponsorship by a current member; the club is owned by its members and directed by a board of directors (equity structure). Pricing is not publicly disclosed by the club itself.
Living in Mission Viejo Country Club
The club describes itself as a 'gated sanctuary,' though this research did not confirm whether that refers to a literal guard-gated perimeter or simply the club grounds' secluded character -- flagged as unresolved. No specific bundled residential development was identified; the club reads as a citywide invitation-only institution within Mission Viejo rather than the anchor of one named subdivision.
Lifestyle & Amenities
Amenities span golf, racquet sports (including pickleball), swimming, fitness, and a regular calendar of social events.
Location & Surrounding Area
Located at 26200 Country Club Dr, Mission Viejo, CA 92691, between Saddleback Mountain and the Laguna Beach coastline.
