“The transformation is unparalleled,” Larry Barefield, senior project manager of Landscapes Unlimited, said. “Between the ambitious vision of and financial commitment of North Ranch’s membership and dedication from club president Clyde Clifford, treasurer Stan Speer and general manager Jenny Duce, along with the creativity of Jackson Kahn Design and the expertise of our construction team, the club has mightily elevated itself for current and future generations to enjoy.”
The major project coincides with the 50-year anniversary of the Valley and Oaks nines designed by Ted Robinson, Sr., along with his son, Ted Robinson, Jr., they brought the third nine at North Ranch, the Lakes, to life in 1989.
North Ranch was developed as a partnership between Prudential Insurance and the American-Hawaiian Steamship Company, which purchased the ranch in 1962. Previously, the property was owned by publishing magnate William Randoph Hearst, preceded by the land North Ranch occupies being among California’s first Mexican land grants in 1795.
