World-Class Design by Bob Cupp

The golf course designer, Bob Cupp, began his design career working with Jack Nicklaus. After founding his own firm and establishing several excellent courses around the world, he created the rugged, links-style course named “Vintner’s Heath.” The course marks a return to the pure pleasure of the game, anchored in a marvelous natural setting.

“La Estancia is a place where people will enjoy its calm, its natural beauty, and the friendships that will grow here.” — Bob Cupp

Golf at La Estancia is a journey into both the future and the past: it is a return to the pure pleasure of the game, set against a striking natural backdrop. Renowned designer Bob Cupp has created a world-class, links-style golf course. By utilizing the earth’s natural contours, native grasses, and other raw elements, Bob crafted a course that feels as though it has always been there.
