This Peter Jacobsen Signature Course is as challenging as it is beautiful. The Jacobsen Hardy Design Team utilized the natural surroundings of the area to make this course truly unique.Mature cypress trees, lush green fairways and cool fresh ocean air make Cypress Ridge a golfers' paradise. This is a classic golf course you'll keep thinking about long after you've played it. Jacobsen Hardy Golf Design provides a broad base of comprehensive design services for either new projects or renovation. Principals Peter Jacobsen and Jim Hardy have designed golf courses that preserve the integrity of the land and surrounding environment, thus enhancing its natural beauty. Cypress Ridge is a Peter Jacobsen Signature course and has been certified as a Signature Sanctuary by Audubon International, a not-for-profit environmental organization which focuses on sustainable development. "At Cypress Ridge we were given a great piece of property and our team allowed the land to be the hero, resulting in a natural, beautiful course," says Jim Hardy. Says Jacobsen,"Cypress Ridge has the key elements of what we try to create in all our design work, a fun, playable golf course that rewards the good shots and is both exciting and memorable for players of all abilities." Cypress Ridge is the 13th golf course in the world to receive the elite distinction of being certified as a Signature Sanctuary through the prestigious Audubon International, and the first to be designated as a Silver Signature Sanctuary in the state of California. From our initial design, we have focused on the specific requirements of habitat enhancement, wildlife conservation, integrated pest management, and efficiency of water, waste and energy use. The fringe areas surrounding each hole are planted with native grasses, offering cover and food for wildlife. Our tree selection, placement, and methods of care are geared toward encouraging a rich bird population. This integrated approach to environmental planning provides a colorful backdrop to a spectacular golf course.
