Facility Overview
The Palomar Sportsmen's Club has been a part of Southern California's history even before World War II.
Incorporated in 1954 as a Non Profit Corporation in Ramona, California by local sportsmen and conservationist, the Club relocated in 1994 to its present location in the high Desert Mountains of Ranchita in Eastern San Diego County.
The Club owned, forty-acre facility is always changing and improving with the needs of our sport and members. Located at 5000 feet, the views of the surrounding mountains and valleys are spectacular.
