Apple
Valley Country Club is the oldest and most storied golf course
in the High Desert. Apple Valley Country Club’s
golf course has a time-honored reputation for playing conditions,
the “purest putting surfaces in Southern California” and
weather that allows for play 365 days a year. The golf
course boasts a fine balance of par 3s and par 4s with some “especially
fun” par 5s on a “walking friendly” golf
course. The course plays to a maximum length of 6,805
yards, par 71 and rated by SCGA at a rating of 72.3/123.
Apple Valley Country Club was established in the mid 1940s
by Newton “Newt” T. Bass and Bernard J. “Bud” Westlund,
oil field wildcatters who are widely considered to have created
Apple Valley, California. Their pioneering spirit and
foresight resulted in successful real estate development
opportunities, including this 18 hole equity owned private
country club in the Victorville/Apple Valley area of Southern
California’s High Desert. Opened for play in
1948, the golf course was designed by William F. Bell, more
commonly known as Billy Bell Jr., a mid 1900s renowned golf
course architect who designed and built in excess of 50 golf
courses including California Country Club, Country Club at
Ranch Bernardo & Rancho Bernardo Inn, La Cumbre Country
Club, Mesa Verde Country Club, Newport Beach Country Club,
Red Hill Country Club and Saticoy Country Club.
The community of Apple Valley was a long-time home of Roy
Rogers and Dale Evans whose mere presence encouraged an eclectic
group of celebrities from Red Skelton and Anthony Quinn to
Raymond Burr, Dale Robertson and Desi Arnaz and many noted
professional golfers including golf’s legendary Lloyd
Mangrum, a 36-time winner on the PGA Tour, to find their
way to Apple Valley Country Club for the clean air quality,
ideal climate and a myriad of experiences that make Apple
Valley far more than just a place.
