Two birds, one stone.

That's what I needed - what my family needed - earlier this year when I began researching club facilities in the SCV and Valley. Golf clubs, racquet clubs, swim clubs... they were all on my list as I furiously searched for the Holy Grail - a place where my entire crew could go regularly for socialization and recreation.
I'll tell you the truth: My husband and I really wanted to join a golf club - we just thought it was out of our price range, even with his new promotion. But we had fantasies of hitting a short course on a lazy Sunday morning, then grabbing the kids for a social event later in the week, then wrapping it all up with date night at the club on Friday.

What we didn't know then is that a remarkable number of SCV families felt the same way - and were getting all they dreamed of and more at Valencia Country Club.

"Because Valencia Country Club is so established, and has such a stellar reputation for service and amenities, there's a presumption that VCC is beyond most price ranges," says Membership Director Missy Carter. "But the reality is, you can really be a member of a club with the most coveted course around - for a lot less than people think."

"We have special incentives for new members under 40; junior memberships for young players; and heart-stopping membership options," explains Carter. "Because of that, our membership has evolved over the last few years; this is a very engaged community that just keeps getting better. We're all having a really great time, on and off the course. Valencia Country Club is getting a lot of attention now for all the right reasons."

"Valencia Country Club has grown, not just with new members, but as a Club with a mission, too," says General Manger Mike Nix. "Our philosophy of service has expanded to include an understanding that today's members want a rich, vibrant Club experience that goes beyond having the best course. That's why we invest so much into cultivating new, exciting social events and developing ongoing groups and connections - so that our members don't have to go anywhere else to experience a dramatic boost in their quality of life. We are committed to offering VCC members a place to enjoy a phenomenal meal, entertain business associates, woo their significant other, casually hang out with friends watching the game, treat their kids to Family Night fun and, of course, have the best golfing experience in So Cal."
