When completed in 1872, Stearns Wharf became the longest deep-water pier between Los Angeles and San Francisco. Named after its builder, local Lumberman John P. Stearns, the wharf served the passenger freight shipping needs of California’s south coast for over a quarter of a century. The “anchor” of this famous pier is one of Santa Barbara’s most popular

A Sense of Belonging: Private Clubs Add to Santa Barbara’s Residential Appeal

Among the unexpected silver linings of the pandemic? The fact that the appeal of living in Santa Barbara’s South Coast has surged, and surged in a big way. An enclave like Montecito is not all that far from the urban sprawl of Los Angeles, where a pandemic-inspired exodus continues. But, as so many residents and visitors know, it is a world away. Indeed, the real estate gods – as inventory shrinks and prices balloon – are smiling.

But living in this treasured corner of the world is more than whether you can afford it, or the way it pretty much guarantees that your investment will grow. It’s about the way that it offers so much more than you thought you needed, the way it never ceases to delight and the way it manages to enhance everyday life, every day.

The private clubs that call communities like Montecito and Santa Barbara home, it can be argued, have a lot to do with that appeal. At their core, they are havens for socialization, that all-important tenet of human interaction that, as another truth revealed by the pandemic, a community both needs and craves. They also aim to elevate their members’ experience, to expand their horizons, through a bevy of innovative programs and curated experiences that range from the culinary and athletic to the creative and intellectual.

“For the majority of our clients, private clubs are definitely an amenity that they’re looking for,” says Natalie Grubb , a realtor with Village Properties’ Grubb Campbell Group, and a resident of Santa Barbara for pretty much her entire life. “We’ll ask them, ‘What do you like? Tennis? Golf? Sailing?’ And we can tell them, ‘Yes, that exists here.’

“That’s why we’ve seen such a huge influx of people wanting to move here full-time, not just part-time anymore,” she adds. “They want to be part of a community, which has always been part of living in this area. But now there’s even more than before.”

Clubs tend not to make dues and fees public. For serious prospects, though, it’s fair to say that membership is more an investment than an expense.

Up first, a spotlight on some of Santa Barbara’s top social clubs.

The Santa Barbara Club

The oldest social club in Santa Barbara is probably the oldest private hangout of its kind between L.A. and San Francisco. Founded in 1892, the Santa Barbara Club features a clubhouse that holds both state and local historic landmark status and that has hosted distinguished community members and guests for decades. 

“Our members are not trust-funders, but academics,” says club manager Linda Spann , who adds that the waiting list for membership, which is by invitation only, has grown so big that the club’s initiation fee recently went up.

There are three tiers of membership here, based on age: Regular (45+), Intermediate (31-44), and Junior (21-30). The foodie offerings have long been a calling card of the Santa Barbara Club; Chef Humberto Perez has helmed the kitchen for more than 20 years and makes everything from pastas to pastries in-house.

“We can serve more than a hundred meals on a Friday night,” adds Spann, which are served either in the elegant Dining Room or the sprawling outdoor lawn.

Members have access to various interest groups, including a Breakfast Club, an Investors Club, and a Wine Group. The Club’s Preservation Foundation allows members to make tax deductible donations to preserve the Clubhouse and other landmark buildings in town. The Club’s Art Foundation aims to support contemporary artists by featuring their work through displays and exhibits. There are dozens of reciprocal clubs across the U.S., as well as globally, in countries like England, Mexico, and Thailand. santabarbaraclub.org . 

The University Club of Santa Barbara

This has been a premier social club in the heart of Santa Barbara since 1919. Networking reigns supreme here, via an ongoing schedule of themed parties, mixers, and lectures, including large affairs during major community events like Fiesta. The club hosts various social clubs, too, like the Book Club and regular wine tastings. The property offers members free prime downtown parking, and the manicured gardens feature secluded patios and a firepit. There’s a pool table in the game room, and the club regularly puts works by local artists on exhibit. The club’s executive chef and culinary team have received high marks from discerning foodies for decades. 

The University Club is one of the few clubs in town that’s transparent about its fees. There are four membership categories, including the Junior category, for members ages 21 to 39, with a $1,500 initiation fee and $100 monthly dues. The Resident category for those living within 25 miles of the club, has a $3,000 initiation fee and monthly dues of $175. Members get access to more than 200 reciprocal clubs around the U.S. and the world. uclubsb.org .

Miramar Club

This is the members-only extension of the luxurious and elegant Rosewood Miramar Resort, offering members an oceanfront haven with myriad exclusive amenities. 

“We like to think of it as laid-back luxury,” says Hannah Rock , the hotel’s social activities director. “You are getting that five-star experience, but it’s more like a beach club than a formal private club.”

Launched in May 2019, it’s the newest social club in the area. Located next to the resort’s signature Caruso’s restaurant, the Club also enjoys a right-on-the-sand location and exclusive seasonal and regional menus crafted by the same Caruso’s team, led by executive chef Massimo Falsini . The dining room touts airy, Art-Deco décor, an extensive private wine cellar, and an adjacent wood-panel piano bar that doles out myriad signature cocktails. Members have access to top-line athletic and spa facilities, as well as personalized concierge services.

“The club offers curated events and programming on a weekly basis that focus on culinary, retail, and family events,” adds Rock.

The beach experience is exclusive, too, with private lounges and members-only food-and-beverage services. clubmiramar.com . 

Coral Casino Beach & Cabana Club

The famous private club right on Butterfly Beach is part of Ty Warner Hotels & Resorts. Built in 1937, it was purchased by Ty Warner in 2000, in conjunction with his buy of the historic Biltmore hotel across the street. Both properties, shuttered in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic, remain closed.

The club’s Signature membership includes access to an elegant waterfront location, complete with a pool complex that has a heated Olympic-size swimming pool, a whirlpool and a kids’ wading pool, all surrounded by more than 200 chaise lounges and chair-side amenities that change hourly. Cabana rentals are available. The fitness center features state-of-the-art equipment, and a private gate gives members their own beach access. The sundeck on the third floor and the Living Room is for members only. Food and beverages are available at three locations, with Tydes Restaurant & Bar setting the bar for prime dining at the club. coralcasinoclub.com .  

The Club & Guest House at UC Santa Barbara

The COVID-19 pandemic is keeping this unique club closed through the rest of 2021, with most of the staff reassigned to on-campus pandemic efforts. This iconic destination club, though, which was established in 1968, remains known as the “living room” of the UCSB campus. The Guest House, which was renovated in 2014 and features ocean views, emulates a 34-room boutique hotel. Stays are reserved for visiting scholars, families of students, and those on university business, as well as members. Continental breakfast is included. The dining room features gourmet lunch service, with a focus on locally and sustainably sourced food, and it’s open to the public. The facility is governed by a Board of Directors. theclub.ucsb.edu . 

Sports and an active, outdoor lifestyle are also inspirations for some of Santa Barbara’s most sought-after clubs, most of them with an emphasis on golf, tennis, polo, swimming, and sailing.

The Santa Barbara Polo and Racquet Club

Polo pros from all over the world, including the royal variety, trot to this destination club, one of the oldest of its kind in the U.S. It features the country’s longest polo season, too, with games hosted seasonally from May through mid-October. Games are free to the general public on Fridays, while Sunday games require tickets. Polo memberships come with exclusive dibs on mid-level and upper boxes, for prime viewing.

The club also operates its own polo school, the Santa Barbara Polo Training Center.

The social membership option comes with complimentary attendance at weekend polo matches, as well as invitations to special events throughout the year. Tennis memberships, which come with access to the club’s eight courts, six of which are lit, and swim-and-fitness memberships feature use of the heated pool, jacuzzi, and fitness center, which features yoga and fitness classes. 

Dining has received new focus, with the recent opening of the Fieldside Grill, which is open to the public every Wednesday through Saturday for lunch and dinner.

“We felt that because of our members and the condos on the grounds and the community around us, establishing a full-scale restaurant would be a welcome addition,” says general manager David Sigman . “And the food is as awesome as the views.”

Folded Hills, owned by former polo pro Andy Busch , is the eatery’s wine sponsor. sbpolo.com .

The Montecito Club

One of the premier golf clubs in the area recently reopened, following the 100-year-old Spanish-style property’s three-year, $75 million renovation and subsequent COVID closure. The property is part of Ty Warner Hotels & Resorts, which means members get exclusive access and discounts at luxe sister resorts like the San Ysidro Ranch, the Four Seasons New York, and Las Ventanas al Paraiso in Los Cabos.

The par-71 Jack Nicklaus Signature Course was designed around the property’s natural undulating elevation and boasts sweeping views of the Santa Ynez Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. There’s a bowling alley in the all-ages clubhouse known as The Hideout, as well as a 21-seat Dolby Atmos movie theater with a 16-foot CinemaScope screen and concession area. The state-of-the-art fitness facility features Peloton machines and private training. The 25,000-square-foot pool complex has two lap pools, a kids’ pool, a whirlpool, and bar service.

Members can host special events, like weddings, in the ballroom, the Great Room, with its 12 Baccarat crystal chandeliers, or the sprawling 20,000 square foot lawn. Fine dining is available in the clubhouse, which also features a library and wine rooms, and is helmed by new chef Alex Bollinger , a Montecito native whose three decades of experience includes collaborations with names like Tyler Florence and Charlie Palmer . The Signature Membership comes with full club access, while the Connoisseur Membership also includes privileges at the Coral Casino. montecitoclub1918.com .

The Valley Club of Montecito

Opened in 1929, the Valley Club features a deluxe 18-hole, par-72 golf course. Designed like an hourglass, the course, along with bunkers, have undergone extensive renovation after the 2018 mudslides. Other amenities include tennis courts and prime onsite dining. The clubhouse features a living room and inner courtyard. Elegance and privacy rank high here, as well as a strict dress code for anyone ages 12 and up. valleyclub.org .

Birnam Wood

There are more than 140 private homes inside this exclusive, gated property along East Valley Road, the oldest ones dating back to the early 1970s. Membership to the Birnam Wood Golf Club gives access to the par-70 course, which was designed by Robert Trent Jones, Sr., opened in 1968 and features Bermuda grass. The clubhouse hosts rotating members-only social events as well as daily gourmet dining options. There are six tennis courts here, too. bwgc.net . 

La Cumbre Country Club

Set on the outer edges of Hope Ranch, La Cumbre Country Club dates back to 1916. It would go on to close for 10 years after World War II, due to waning membership, but it has remained an exclusive haven ever since its reopening in 1957. The 150 shady acres feature a celebrated 18-hole golf course, with various uphill and downhill targets, as well as six championship tennis courts. The social offerings range from card games and tournaments to seasonal parties. Lunch and dinner are offered, with an emphasis on to-go menus during COVID; Sunday champagne buffets have long been popular. The club features multiple membership options. lacumbrecc.org . 

Santa Barbara Yacht Club

It’s all about preserving maritime tradition at this club, which, founded in 1872, is the second oldest yacht club on the West Coast. This is a popular spot on Wet Wednesdays, when dozens of boats take part in several races. Kite boarding draws crowds on Fridays. Food and beverage services are available, including the popular Monday Luncheon Forum, which draws members and their invited guests. Club members are also stewards of the Breakwater Flag Project, which showcases the flags of many of Santa Barbara’s nonprofit groups. Prospective members do not need to own a boat, but they do need endorsement from multiple sponsors. sbyc.org . 

Knowlwood Tennis Club

Located in the heart of Montecito, this club for tennis lovers dates back to 1970. The programs are family oriented, with a bevy of private and group lessons for kids as young as four, and they’re open to non-members, too, though at higher pricing. The club features 10 courts, including two clay courts, as well as a swimming pool. www.knowlwood.club . 

Santa Barbara Tennis Club

Open since 1971, this sports club features 12 tennis courts and various training sessions for adults and juniors. There’s an aquatics program, too, with a 25-yard regulation pool that’s kept at 82 degrees, and a 10-person jacuzzi. The fitness center features yoga and Pilates studios, and the café offers a varied menu and caters various events throughout the year. Local artist receptions are presented the second Friday of every month. “At this point, we have a pretty long waitlist for membership,” says managing partner Amber Bottelsen . santabarbaratennisclub.com .

My father-in-law is a member of the Santa Barbara Yacht Club, and he recently complained to us that he'd gone on a busy night and left unfed when his food failed to arrive for over 45 minutes. The next day, we were planning to eat lunch at a casual place on the harbor, but my sister-in-law wanted to eat at the yacht club and we changed plans abruptly, after I'd ordered some goodies from the fish market. This is why we showed up during the Saturday lunch hour without a reservation, with two babies in strollers, and a huge aluminum catering tray of raw seafood on ice. It was a good thing my father-in-law had gotten bad service the night before--the staff was apologetic (he's a longtime member and the walk-out had earned him a call from the manager) and willing to accommodate our ridiculous party. The dining room was nice, with a great view of the water. Service was good, attentive and pleasant and tolerant of our tomfoolery. I ordered a glass of viognier and got a comically large pour. The food was okay. There was an ample bread basket. I shamefully ate my outside appetizer and put the aluminum tray on the floor. For my entree, I ordered the Baja fish tacos, which were mediocre but inoffensive. My husband's fish and chips weren't bad either, but the fish was a thin slab fried with thick breading like a chicken tenders, not my favorite style. We suspected the food would've been better outside the yacht club, but I get the appeal of the place. It's a members only space over the water with its own parking lot (which we used even before we decided to eat there). My father-in-law goes often and the staff knows him and indulges his family members. My husband and I scrammed when our son started crying for his nap, which had been dramatically delayed by our change in plans. I imagine we'll be back at some point, and I hope our next visit is more relaxing. Thank goodness for that double pour of viognier.

I love taking advantage of recipicol relationships with clubs. I took my family to lunch at SBYC yesterday and it was just delightful. Spectacualar view, terrific view service too. A very special spot, in fact going back for dinner tonight!

Let me just say that I am a BIG fan of reciprocal membership policies! Gyms, Zoos and yes even Yacht clubs often have them. Sometimes when I visit Santa Barbara (hee hee hee) I use my Lahaina Yacht Club membership to gain admission. Went there a couple of weeks ago with some friends from out of town, they are members of two yacht clubs! You know how many people enjoy this mutually symbiotic relationship by the number of burgees hanging from the ceiling (If you don't know what a Burgee is, you don't belong) I often wonder about starting my own Yacht club just so that I can sell $75 annual memberships so that everyone can enjoy the perks of a yacht club membership. Santa Barbara Yacht club is beautiful! It sits right on the sand and has a spectacular view. The food isn't the best you have ever eaten but it is also not expensive, all in all a very good deal. Of course the amazing view and great location does have its drawbacks... the place kind of has a tendency to wash away every few decades. Wet Wednesdays are a ton of fun (and pretty darn easy to sneak into even if you don't belong to Doug's Yacht Club) If anyone asks though just tell them you are guests of the Underhills.

Since it's the only yacht club at the harbor, it's hard to miss it. Overall, it's a nice club conviniently located at the marina. I've come by three-four times - by land to a couple of regattas hosted by this club and another time via boat on a coastal delivery from San Diego to San Francisco (we stopped here for fuel and food). Friendly club staff and easy-going casual atmosphere, food is decent and have no complaints. Just what you'd expect from a sunny California laid-back community like Santa Barbara.

Private yacht club right in the harbor. Great place if you know or are a member. Fantastic food and drinks at very reasonable prices. They get you on the dues.

Kim Cameron, Valencia, CA LOVE the view of the ocean and wharf at this restaurant!! I used to go here all the time for work lunches with my boss and the owner of AGF. The Yacht Club has an excellent Clam Chowder and I love the Chopped Cobb Salad! I think I got that every time we went. My colleague got the Cioppino once, and she said it wasn't all that great.

Love this place. It's right on the beach in SB. We feel privileged to have enjoyed this place. We truly appreciate the reciprocal policy of our yacht club membership. Since we visit SB quite a bit, we try to come here when possible. They are very welcoming, professional and friendly. Food, drinks, and service are really good.

The shrimp cobb salad was delicious. The view is fantastic. The crowd is mostly retired at lunch, which is what you'd expect. Beware the drinks! There's a bartendress whose mission is to make everyone pass out in the sand on the way to the car. Stop at one drink - be warned!

The best view in all Santa Barbara with extremely friendly wait staff, great drinks and food. We arrived a few minutes before the sun set and watched the sun go down from our window seats. It was majestic. We had a few drinks while we decided where to eat dinner. Fortunately we decided to stay and eat there. My wife and I shared an excellent fish and chips and were so very satisfied splitting that meal. What a wonderful end to a long drive down the coast.

Fall sunset from the porch.

Very nice club with a stunning view. I realize that some may disagree on this point, but those platforms at night are pretty beautiful sight. They bring out the water even on a dark night. The management and commodores here are fantastic as well! Awesome club.
