Barona Valley Ranch Resort and Casino

The natural elegance of the Barona Creek Golf Club, with its gentle flowing creeks, hardy California oaks, and native sods and grasses, lends it a simple charm and rustic beauty, but it's the distinctive design that elevates the prestigious course to championship caliber. Over 100 bunkers and strategically placed natural obstacles, including an oak that splits the first fairway, contribute to a challenging championship course. The innovative architecture is matched by the unparalleled sophistication of the club's equipment: Every Barona Creek Golf Club cart features the modern convenience of an uplink GPS system, which enables players to determine the exact distance between their ball and the pin by positioning their GPS-outfitted cart at the ball's location. We're sure our golfers will find this remarkable tool not only advantageous, but indispensable.

The Barona Creek Golf Club features five individual tees to accommodate varying skill levels. Experienced players will enjoy the complexities of the Black tees, which offer 7,088 yards of open terrain with a slope of 139 and a rating of 74.5. Our most challenging set of tees, they're recommended for the professional or highly skilled amateur player with a handicap of 9 or less.

The greens on our Gold tees are only slightly shorter, with total yardage measuring 6,596. A comfortable challenge for most men golfers, they feature a slope of 133 and a rating of 72.1. A favorite among senior men, the Silver tees are intended for players with intermediate to advanced skill levels. Rated at 70.4, with a slope of 129, they incorporate 6,321 yards of open greens surrounded by tall grasses, unforgiving boulders, and deceptively treacherous water hazards.

Our Teal and Burgundy tees are open and inviting, offering players a relaxed pace, minimal changes in elevation, and total course yardage well under 6,000 yards. The Teal tees boast 5,813 yards at a 130 slope and a rating of 73.8, and are recommended for the serious woman player with a single digit handicap. The majority of women players will find the Burgundy tees provide the most enjoyable Barona Creek Golf Club experience. With 5,296 yards rated at 70.6, with a slope of 126, they are both challenging and forgiving, and encourage a leisurely pace.

From Black to Burgundy, every Barona Creek Golf Club tee offers players a beautiful setting with spectacular views of the serene Barona Valley. Carefully architected and meticulously landscaped, the natural features of the Barona Creek Golf Club complement a course designed to challenge, satisfy, and reward players of every skill and ability.

The intimate Barona Oaks Steakhouse features a sophisticated menu that includes innovative, adventurous fare as well as delightfully creative variations on standards. Patrons can enjoy the tart and tangy kick of the baby greens in lemon vinaigrette and the red pepper horseradish puree that complement our fresh rock shrimp, indulge in the savory Lobster Martini, or explore the subtle flavors of the fennel, leek, and champagne compote which accompanies the potato crusted filet of Atlantic salmon.

More adventurous palates can sample the delightfully spicy Smokey Chipotle Buffalo Tenderloin Chili, accompanied by hominy and a zesty lime cream. Other original dishes include a grilled veal chop stuffed with herb goat cheese and wild mushroom ragout, the delicate Spring Green and Flower Confetti Salad dressed with honey vinaigrette and served with petite baked brie, and a healthy 16-oz. cut of porterhouse steak in a piquant peppercorn sauce. A traditional favorite is our Barona Oaks Mixed Grill, which features a satisfying combination of tender beef medallions, lamb chop, and lobster tail with spinach mashed potatoes.

With its distinguished and stately décor creating an atmosphere of sophisticated warmth, this elegant dinner-only venue showcases the artistic flair and skill of Executive Chef Scott Kidd, who is never satisfied unless you are.

With a menu designed by Executive Chef Scott Kidd, the Branding Iron Cafe specializes in quality ingredients, generous portions, and the down-home comfort of a country kitchen and a traditional American diner, all rolled into one. Southern favorites such as biscuits and gravy, a barbecue poor boy, and chicken and dumplings are featured alongside regional specialties ranging from Philly cheesesteak to Hawaiian shrimp salad to a spicy Santa Fe chicken wrap. On the international scene, Baja seafood ceviche, our famous tortilla soup, and huevos rancheros mix it up with a tangy teriyaki chicken breast, Italian wrap, Chinese chop salad, and 10-layer lasagna.

An extensive selection of fresh fish includes both salt- and freshwater varieties, including the grilled Atlantic salmon and La Jolla seafood platter; and a healthy 10 oz. ribeye steak shares the bill with our rancher's sirloin steak smothered in mushroom and cheese. Barbecue baby back ribs and braised beef short ribs, each dripping with a rich molasses mop sauce, and a tasty chicken pot pie in a flaky golden crust are just a few examples of our delicious home-style cooking. A mouth-watering assortment of appetizers, soups and salads, wraps, burgers, and sandwiches are also featured, and a Branding Iron Cafe breakfast is an exceptionally satisfying start to a new day. Perhaps nothing is as richly rewarding, however, as a delectable Branding Iron Cafe dessert, whether it's our unique carrot and pineapple cake, a freshly baked cinnamon apple pie, or one of our more sinful selections: New York cheesecake with strawberries, triple chocolate mousse torte with vanilla anglaise, or our dark chocolate and peanut butter pie.
