Invited Acquires Bernardo Heights Country Club
DALLAS - Invited – The World Leader in Private Clubs® (NYSE: MYCC) – announces the acquisition of Bernardo Heights Country Club, a private, previously member-owned club located in north county San Diego. Invited plans a multimillion-dollar reinvention project that will bring new dining, social and family features that will enhance the club experience.
The reinvention project will include:

- New fairway bunkers and completion of greenside bunkers renovation
- New golf cart fleet and new golf course amenities
- New events and programming with a focus on fun for the whole family
The acquisition of Bernardo Heights Country Club marks the ninth club acquired by Invited in 2015, and further increases the company’s portfolio of owned and operated clubs, which stands at over 200 clubs in 26 states, the District of Columbia, Mexico and China.
“We are excited to add Bernardo Heights – a beautiful facility that offers an outstanding golf experience – to the Invited Network,” said Eric Affeldt, Invited President and CEO. “San Diego is a top destination for our many traveling members. With the addition of Bernardo Heights, we now have three premier private golf and country clubs plus a first class business club in the area.” In addition to Bernardo Heights, Invited’s clubs in San Diego include Morgan Run Club & Resort in Rancho Santa Fe, Shadowridge Golf Club in Vista and University Club atop Symphony Towers in downtown.
“Bernardo Heights members appreciate the value the Invited Network brings, Invited's knowledge of the industry and their commitment to capital improvements,” said Jim Sahagian, president of the club’s board of directors. “A modernized clubhouse, combined with the renovations on the golf course, will make Bernardo Heights a top-tier country club in the San Diego region. We look forward to this new chapter for the club.”
Just minutes off Interstate 15, Bernardo Heights Country Club – one of San Diego’s finest private clubs – features a beautiful 18-hole, 6,700-yard Ted Robinson-designed golf course overlooking the community of Rancho Bernardo. The Mediterranean-style clubhouse offers both upscale and casual dining, with an expansive patio and views of the 9th hole, pond and waterfall, private dining rooms and elegant private event space that can accommodate up to 130.
Bernardo Heights members can also enjoy Invited's unique O.N.E. program, which provides value-oriented benefits at the member's Home Club, in their Community and Worldwide including complimentary green fees and complimentary dining when traveling throughout the Invited Network, which now offers access to more than 300 private clubs and special offerings at more than 1,000 hotels, resorts and entertainment venues.
