About Big Canyon Country Club The quintessential California seaside town of Newport Beach is home to Big Canyon Country Club (Big Canyon or BCCC). The original golf course, designed by Robert Muir Graves, was opened in 1971, and the clubhouse one year later.
In 1998, the course underwent a renovation led by John Harbottle III, a disciple of Pete Dye, and a new 19,000 sq.ft. turf center opened in 2019. In 2006, the clubhouse was razed, reopening in 2009 with an extraordinary 70,000 sq. ft. clubhouse complex that includes multiple dining and meeting areas, fitness/wellness and event space, along with beautiful aquatics and racquets spaces. The Club has a strong history of commitment to continuous improvement.
The most recent projects include the addition of a Pilates studio, four pickleball courts, a childcare area, and a $4M renovation of the bar and casual dining areas.
Presently, the Club is undergoing one of its most ambitious projects yet: a full-scale golf course renovation led by renowned architect Andrew Green, which began in August 2025 and is expected to be complete in the fall of 2026. This transformative effort has had the full backing of the membership and will usher in a new era of championship-level golf at Big Canyon.
Today Big Canyon offers a full slate of member activities and amenities that include golf and golf instruction, family events, a la carte and banquet dining, childcare, Cotillion and summer camp, fitness and group exercise, spa services and hair salon, aquatics including swim team, tennis and pickleball in addition to a car wash and vehicle charging stations. The Club’s comprehensive wine program has become a signature element, and the Club is fortunate to have a talented staff dedicated to the food and beverage amenity, which is tremendously active and supported.
In its 50+ year history, the Club has hosted sixteen state and regional championships, as well as numerous USGA events, including U.S. Open Qualifiers, the 2000 U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship, and the 2014 U.S. Senior Amateur Championship. The 2022 California Amateur was held at Big Canyon as well.
The Club has a long history of commitment to supporting its members and staff experiences, along with a strong organizational chart, necessary HR and Communications support, administration, etc. The camaraderie among the members, their strong support for the Club, and the dedication of many member volunteers within a vibrant committee system contribute
