Native Oaks Golf Club The Secret is Out

NATIVE OAKS GOLF CLUB

DISCOVER A SOCAL GOLF GEM

Nestled in canyons in East San Diego, Valley Center to be exact, Native Oaks Golf Club (renamed from Woods Valley Golf Club in January) is a wellworth-it, short drive from San Diego and Orange County. In this “I’ll drive anywhere to find a weekend tee time” era, the recent improvements to course conditions, customer service and the newly opened Shawii Kitchen (putting out some tasty, innovative food options not always typical of a golf course) makes Native Oaks an interesting, even surprising, find.

Owned by the San Pasqual Economic Development Corporation, an entity of the San Pasqual Band of Mission Indians, the new names pay homage to community’s traditions and are representative of the beautiful land they call home. The new Native Oaks logo depicts a flourishing oak tree, while the new Shawii Kitchen logo (pronounced / sha-wee/ and means sacred corn paste of the Kuumeyaay people, made from the Acorns of the surrounding Native Oaks) features the nut of the oak tree, an acorn.

It is a beautiful track that is coming into its own, featuring an extensive, all-grass driving range, very well maintained fairways and greens, and most of all, the serene and beautiful environment typical of this corner of Southern California. The back nine is spectacular, rivaling the best the region has to offer.

Against the current trend of ever-longer golf courses that favor the long hitters, Native Oaks GC is a thinking man track. With narrow fairways, deep vegetations near the out-of-

bounds areas, and fast greens; local knowledge, and a well-honed wedge game are essential to shoot a good score.

General Manager, Eric J. Julian, long-time veteran of Native Oaks’ sister course under OB Sports Golf Management, Monarch Beach in Dana Point, has made certain the best part of Native Oaks GC is the people. Friendly and welcoming faces at every turn, from the cart girl with in-depth knowledge of the track (ask for her tips to save strokes!) to the restaurant staff - to the pro shop crew who are quick with a “welcome” and “have a great day, today.”

We consider ourselves a family – we have gotten through a crazy COVID year together, while undertaking a rebranding of the club, major golf course improvements, restaurant renovations and the introduction of several new golf opportunities including the Native Oaks Frequent Player Card. We are just so excited to share with our guests the new Native Oaks Golf Club and Shawii Kitchen.
