PLACES tO PLAY The Player's Club Insider // Fall 2019 employs five teaching professionals offering group and individual lessons. Once on the course, each hole is memorable, but certain ones will leave you replaying them in your head long after your round is complete. The par 4, 339-yard fifth hole may seem attackable at first, but the landing area is protected by large fairway bunkers and palm trees, and the three-tiered green puts a premium on accuracy. The signature 11th hole is a stunning 170-yard, par 3 with nothing but water between tee and green. And you'll close out your round with a delicate tee shot between two tall eucalyptus trees, followed by an approach in which you will have to avoid a bunker and water in front of the green as well as three tiers on the putting surface. The memorable finishing hole can be savored over a pint and a plate in the pub-style Players Lounge or in the Augusta and Broadmoor rooms overlooking the golf course. Each offers a diverse menu with both traditional and craft beers, select wines, and top- shelf liquors. Menu favorites to be enjoyed throughout the day include Carnitas Benedict, BBQ Chicken Salad, Ribeye Steak, Blackened Salmon Sliders and Molten Chocolate Cake for dessert. One thing that sets Tustin Ranch apart is its monthly membership program – The Club at Tustin Ranch. Members get exclusive access to the lowest rates – including $20 super twilight fees that allow you to bring a child for free seven days a week – as well as merchandise discounts and special rates for entry into all of the club's hosted tournaments. "It is the best membership in all of Orange County for such a quality golf course and experience," Boznanski said. continued from the previous page… CLICK HERE TO VISIT TUSTIN RANCH GOLF CLUB SUCCESS StORY tHE PLAYERS CLUB BRINGS NEw vALUE tO RIvER RIDGE R iver Ridge Golf Club has been under the American Golf umbrella for less than three months, but there have al- ready been plenty of positive changes at the Oxnard, California- based 36-hole facility.
