History
The ownership of the land can be traced back to General Mariano Guadelupe Vallejo.[5] The land was bought by the Montgomery Family in 1851 who settled during the gold rush.[6] One century later, the land was bought by Bruce Mace.[7][8] Mace hired Robert Baldock, a golf course designer from Fresno. He then opened the club house a decade later by spring of 1961, along with the golf course and the first 175 lots for sale.[9]
