Since acquiring the historic property in spring 2013, Warner Springs Ranch Resort, LLC has been planning and working to rejuvenate the beloved resort. The first phase of renovations was the reopening of the Warner Springs Ranch Golf Club in November 2015, which includes an 18-hole golf course, golf clubhouse and restaurant, and the Warner Springs Ranch Grill.

“We’re pleased to open this amenity and are already underway on the next phases of the renovation, including reopening the hot springs pool complex, the remainder of the Equestrian Center with riding lessons, wagon rides, and special horsemanship events, and portions of the resort itself,” said WSRR LLC President Fred Grand.  

Rides are available by advance reservation only. Two-hour rides are available for $139 through Groupon for two people and include complimentary snacks and drinks. Riders of all ages and experience levels are welcome!
