Red Hill Country Club | Rancho Cucamonga, California
General Manager
About the Club
Red Hill Country Club delivers a premier private club experience defined by timeless elegance, exceptional amenities, and personalized service. Established in 1921, Red Hill has long been a place where community and recreation thrive together.
Founder Albert Swift set out to create a golf course of distinction and engaged renowned architect George C. Thomas, Jr., with William Bell, to design it. Together, they transformed the region’s citrus groves into one of Southern California’s finest championship layouts. Red Hill became the “older brother” to Thomas’ other iconic designs at the Los Angeles Country Club, the Bel-Air Country Club, and the Riviera Country Club. More than a century later, Swift’s vision endures, with Red Hill remaining among the region’s most respected private clubs.
Today, members and their guests enjoy a broad array of amenities that enrich the club lifestyle. In addition to the historic 18-hole course and expansive clubhouse, the Club offers refined dining, racquet sports, aquatics, and a vibrant calendar of social programming. Red Hill is a premier golf destination and, equally, a gathering place for family, friends, and community.
