Los Angeles, CA (July 7, 2026) — Caruso today unveiled The Miramar Lake Club, an ambitious new private golf and social club set to debut in fall 2026 in the Santa Monica Mountains, marking the company’s highly anticipated expansion into the fast-growing world of private, experience-driven clubs.
Positioned behind the gates of the exclusive Sherwood community near Thousand Oaks, The Miramar Lake Club introduces a new vision for contemporary club experiences: one that seamlessly blends world-class golf conditions with design, hospitality, wellness and a distinctly Southern California sense of place.
“The Miramar Lake Club is our vision for where golf is heading; more welcoming, more dynamic, and deeply rooted in experience,” said Rick Caruso, Founder and Executive Chairman of Caruso. “This is an opportunity to bring a new level of hospitality, design, and community to the game, creating a destination unlike anything that exists today.”
At a time when golf participation (on and off course) has surged more than 50% over the past decade*, and demand for luxury, membership-based experiences continue to accelerate, The Miramar Lake Club arrives at the intersection of two defining lifestyle trends, reimagining what a private club can be for the next generation.
At its core is an extraordinary 18-hole, par-3 course designed by golf legend Jack Nicklaus, one of only two of its kind in the world and the only one in the United States. The course offers a rare duality: welcoming for newer players yet strategically layered for seasoned golfers. Each hole draws inspiration from iconic Nicklaus designs from around the globe, delivering a distinctive, all-in-one playing experience.

An Elevated Club Experience Beyond the Course
Anchored by an 18,000-square-foot Clubhouse, The Miramar Lake Club will feature a vibrant culinary program, a resort-style pool, state-of-the-art fitness and training facilities, wellness amenities, and a curated calendar of social events designed to foster connection and community. Additional details, including a signature restaurant concept with an award-winning chef, will be announced in the coming months.
Every element—from architecture to amenities—has been thoughtfully conceived to deliver a cohesive, best-in-class member experience. The approach reflects Caruso’s broader strategy of creating design-forward, hospitality-led environments that drive long-term engagement and loyalty.

A Natural Evolution of The Miramar Brand
Following the success of The Miramar Beach Club in Montecito, The Miramar Lake Club represents the next chapter in Caruso’s growing private club portfolio, expanding the brand from oceanfront to lakeside while maintaining its signature focus on service, setting, and community.
With The Miramar Lake Club, Caruso once again redefines a category, bringing together world-class sport, immersive design, and a new standard of hospitality in one of Southern California’s most sought-after settings.
