The Origin and Evolution of Mission Valley Golf & Country Club
In 1967, four friends—a banker, two salesmen, and an attorney—took action when they grew dissatisfied with the conditions of their regular golf course. Over a lively lunch at their then-club, they envisioned creating a private club of their own. Fueled by determination and resourcefulness, they turned their vision into reality, and Mission Valley Golf & Country Club was born.
The original course, masterfully designed by David Wallace, transformed a 200+ acre parcel dotted with lakes into a golfer’s dream. With greens and tees thoughtfully placed in close proximity, Wallace crafted a walkable course that’s equally enjoyable for those who choose to ride.
Over the years, Mission Valley has continued to evolve. In 2006, the Clubhouse underwent a major renovation, expanding and modernizing its facilities. A comprehensive golf course renovation followed in 2018, introducing TifTuff Bermuda grass throughout, enlarging greens with ultra-dwarf TifEagle grass, and adding new tees to accommodate players of all skill levels. Bunkers were repositioned and upgraded to the state-of-the-art Better Billy Bunker system, while natural sandscapes and expanded lakes enhanced the course’s beauty and challenge.
Today, Mission Valley Golf & Country Club remains a testament to vision, dedication, and the enduring camaraderie of its members.
