The History about its Country Club Estate Name

 

According to a news story published in the San Diego Union-Tribune in February of 2018, Poway’s first golf course was StoneRidge Country Club. But, the once popular private golf course eventually went into bankruptcy.

Its owner obtained voter approval to develop the property into condominiums. He fenced and locked the golf course, fired its employees and kicked out its members.

Back in 1960, the Times Advocate newspaper punished a story about plans to develop a 350-acre subdivision with 300 luxury homes on a private golf course near Espola Road. The original name of the project was “Valle Verde Country Club Estates”. The developer, John (Jack) Sparkman became wealthy by manufacturing the Hawaiian Punch drink. He also promoted California avocados and developed High Valley.

 

High Expectations, But Low Demand

 

In 1961, a groundbreaking ceremony took place on the $3.5 million golf course, clubhouse, and luxury homes. The first nine holes and adjoining streets soon completed. Yet, the demand for luxury homes dwindled.

By 1964, a story in the News Chieftain revealed plans for a new housing development with the original developers of Rancho Bernardo. They expected up to 100 homes during the first year. But, that never developed due to lack of interest from home buyers. The nine-course golf course remained. But, without a clubhouse. The locals joked about the need to go over the 9 hole course two times for an 18 hole match.

In 1968, the owners tried to finance a new housing venture. But, that too failed resulting in its first bankruptcy. But, by the end of the year, Don Fischer from Minnesota saved the day. He paid off the debts and renamed the project the StoneRidge Country Club and built new model homes.

Finally, the market became ready for the project. The back nine holes and a clubhouse became a reality along with some homes sold. For several decades the country club estates thrived. Until bankruptcy reared its ugly head again after Poway voters rejected a condominium plan in 2017.
