SUBJECT: Direction to Address Property Damage Impacts from Rancho del Pueblo Golf Course
RECOMMENDATION
1. Direct the City Manager’s Office to work in partnership with CourseCo, the operator of the City-owned Rancho del Pueblo Golf Course, to develop and implement solutions that mitigate ongoing property damage and quality-of-life impacts experienced by residents in the California Fairways Homeowners Association (HOA) and the Mayfair Neighborhood resulting from errant golf balls.
BACKGROUND
Residents living adjacent to the Rancho del Pueblo Golf Course, particularly those in the California Fairways HOA, and the broader Mayfair Neighborhood, have reported persistent issues involving golf balls striking homes, breaking windows, and causing other forms of property damage. These incidents have created financial burdens, safety concerns, and ongoing stress for affected households.
As the golf course is a City-owned facility operated under agreement by CourseCo, the City has both a responsibility and an opportunity to ensure that operations do not negatively impact surrounding communities.
While golf courses are valued recreational assets, their operation must be balanced with the safety and well-being of nearby residents. The frequency and severity of reported incidents suggest that existing mitigation measures may be insufficient.
Addressing these impacts is essential to maintaining trust with our residents and ensuring that City-owned recreational facilities operate responsibly within their surrounding communities. A RULES COMMITTEE: 04/15/26
