Rancho del Rey Golf Course

Rancho del Rey Golf Course sits in Atwater, a city in Merced County in the northern San Joaquin Valley adjacent to the former Castle Air Force Base, which has been converted into the Castle Airport Aviation and Development Center. Atwater is positioned on the San Joaquin Valley floor north of Merced in the agricultural terrain of the Merced River valley. The city has developed primarily as a residential community dependent on the broader Merced metropolitan area economy, and the area around the former air base has been redeveloped for civilian aviation, warehousing, and light industrial use.
