A $50 Million Transformation Elevates Rancho Santa Fe

Rancho Santa Fe has long been one of Southern California’s premier golf destinations, and La Valle Coastal Club has reestablished itself among the region’s top private clubs following an impressive $50 million transformation.

Formerly known as Morgan Run Club & Resort, the property has been completely reimagined since Meriwether Companies acquired it three years ago. The extensive renovation includes upgraded guest accommodations at Guesthouse Hotel at La Valle, dining venues, spa, pools, racquet sports facilities and event spaces, but the centerpiece of the investment is the club’s 27-hole golf facility.

“Golf is the asset in any private resort that drives revenue,” said General Manager Fernando Fry. “We wanted to create a new practice facility, driving range, short-game area and renovate the three nines.”

The improvements begin with one of San Diego County’s finest practice facilities. Golfers will find a 40-bay driving range, expansive target greens, dedicated short-game areas, a championship putting green and a lively social putting green that has become a popular gathering place before and after rounds.

The club’s three nine-hole layouts—Olivos, Cedros and Palmas—have each received significant upgrades, including rebuilt greens, renovated bunkers, improved irrigation and outstanding turf conditions. Paspalum fairways and kikuyu rough provide exceptional year-round playing surfaces, while thoughtful design enhancements have added both strategy and playability.

The transformation extends well beyond the golf course. Gather California Kitchen offers a fresh California-inspired menu in a relaxed setting, while the renovated clubhouse, resort amenities and welcoming atmosphere reflect the club’s vision of creating a modern private club experience that’s both upscale and approachable.

The investment is already paying dividends. Membership has grown significantly since the renovation began, and La Valle Coastal Club has quickly become one of North County San Diego’s most desirable private golf destinations. For golfers looking to experience one of Southern California’s most impressive club makeovers, La Valle delivers a memorable blend of championship golf, outstanding amenities and coastal hospitality.

Gil Hanse transforms a historic municipal course into one of California’s most inspiring public golf destinations.

For more than 60 years, Maggie Hathaway Golf Course has introduced thousands of golfers to the game in the heart of South Los Angeles. Long known as one of Southern California’s most affordable places to play, the historic nine-hole, par-3 course has undergone a remarkable transformation led by acclaimed golf course architect Gil Hanse, creating one of the country’s most exciting municipal golf renovations.

Known for designing and restoring some of golf’s most celebrated courses—including the Olympic Golf Course in Rio de Janeiro, Los Angeles Country Club, Merion, and Winged Foot—Hanse approached Maggie Hathaway with a unique vision. Rather than simply modernizing the layout, he created a course that introduces golfers to many of golf architecture’s most celebrated design concepts while preserving the character that has made Maggie Hathaway a neighborhood favorite for generations.

“The most important thing we can do with this golf course is also the most difficult,” Hanse said during the renovation. “We need to make it better, but we don’t want to change it. We want to make sure that this golf course is still recognizable and enjoyable to the people who have been here for 30 or 40 years.”

Each hole now reflects design inspiration from some of golf’s most iconic courses. Players will encounter a classic Redan, a Reverse Redan, a Double Plateau green inspired by National Golf Links of America, and green complexes influenced by George C. Thomas masterpieces such as Riviera Country Club and Los Angeles Country Club. The result is a fun, educational experience that allows golfers of every skill level to appreciate timeless architecture.

The renovation extends well beyond the greens. Every bunker, tee and fairway was rebuilt, while new Bermuda turf and a state-of-the-art irrigation system improve year-round conditions and reduce water consumption. Expanded practice facilities, including a redesigned driving range and short-game area, further enhance the experience for beginners, juniors and accomplished players alike.

Made possible through a partnership between Los Angeles County, the USGA, the Southern California Golf Association, Los Angeles Country Club and numerous private donors, the project demonstrates what can be accomplished when the golf community invests in public golf.

Today, Maggie Hathaway stands as far more than a beautifully renovated municipal course. It is a celebration of affordable golf, timeless architecture and community—a shining example that world-class golf experiences don’t have to come with a private club membership.

Tequila Komos has redefined the ultra-luxury tequila category by combining traditional tequila-making with techniques borrowed from the world of fine wine. At the heart of that innovation is Reposado Rosa, the world’s first ultra-luxury rosa tequila, an expression that continues to challenge expectations while celebrating the character of agave.

Created by former Master Sommelier and winemaker Richard Betts, Tequila Komos was founded on the belief that tequila deserves the same level of craftsmanship as the world’s finest wines. The portfolio has been recognized by The Tasting Panel as the highest-rated tequila collection in the publication’s history, including its first-ever 100-point tequila. Every expression begins with 100% mature Blue Weber agave, roasted in traditional stone ovens, crushed using both tahona stone and roller mill, fermented with native yeast, and distilled in copper pot stills to preserve the agave’s natural character.

Reposado Rosa reflects that philosophy. Rested for 65 days in French oak barrels that previously held red wine, the tequila develops its blush hue from the grape skins. The barrels contribute elegant notes of ripe berries, cocoa, and citrus while allowing roasted agave to remain the defining characteristic.

“It looks like a great Provence rosé, but it’s redolent of ripe roasted agave,” says Richard Betts, describing the expression that introduced an entirely new style of luxury tequila.

Innovation at Komos extends beyond the bottle. Through the Komos Foundation, the brand invests in the communities where its tequila is made. In 2025, the Foundation completed a classroom in Amatitán using adobe bricks made from repurposed agave fiber, demonstrating how production byproducts can create lasting community impact. As Richard Betts likes to say, “Do good while you’re trying to do well.”

That same attention to detail is reflected in Komos’ exclusive bottle embossing program. Each handcrafted ceramic bottle can be customized with the logo of a private club, golf course, or special event, creating a keepsake for members and collectors alike.

“Tequila Komos is perfectly at home on a golf course. It’s one of our favorite places to be,” says Ria Soler, Global Advocacy Director for Tequila Komos. “Golf brings people together to celebrate achievement, friendship, and memorable moments. Those are the same occasions that great tequila was made for, and creating bottles exclusively for a club makes those experiences even more meaningful.”

Reposado Rosa demonstrates that luxury can be innovative, purposeful, and rooted in tradition while leaving a positive impact beyond the glass.
