Description
These golf carts sit in the golf cart parking lot the La Cumbre Country Club in Santa Barbara, California. La Crumbra Country Club is located in the heart of Hope Ranch, one of Santa Barbara's most exclusive upscale housing developments in Santa Barbara and California.
The earliest Spanish settlers recognized the unique natural beauty of the rolling terrain on the inland borders of what would become the famous Hope Ranch property in Santa Barbara. They named the spot that would eventually embrace our course and Clubhouse, La Cumbre, or "high place, summit, peak". At the turn of the twentieth century, visionary enthusiasts began to bring golf from Scotland and Great Britain to the growing population of local residents and Eastern tourists in California. In this fashionable resort town, known even then as the Riviera of America, a dedicated group hired two eminent architects to fashion a private country club.
George Washington Smith, the most famous of all Santa Barbara architects, was commissioned to build the clubhouse, while Captain George Thomas, whose resume would include, Pine Valley, Merion, Bel-Air, Riviera and The Los Angeles Country Club, was hired to build an eighteen hole course featuring the highest design standards of the time. La Cumbre celebrated their 100th anniversary in 2008 and continue to benefit from this spectacular setting and more than a century of design refinements, modernization and care taking. La Cumbre invites you to explore the amenities of our magnificent retreat where the natural beauty is surpassed only by the fellowship of the members who partake in its numerous pleasures.
