Warner Springs Ranch Resort to Celebrate Grand Opening of
Art Gallery on Oct. 15
"The Gallery at Warner Springs” will Showcase Local Art, Serve as Visitor Center in Historic Loretta Young House
WARNER SPRINGS, Calif. (Oct. 3, 2017) – Warner Springs Ranch Resort (WSRR) will now be home to “The Gallery at Warner Springs,” which will celebrate its grand opening on Sunday, Oct. 15 from 1-4 p.m. at the property’s Loretta Young House, located at 31652 Highway 79. In addition to food and drinks, the event will feature a raffle and silent auction benefitting the Warner Springs Cultural Association.
“The Gallery at Warner Springs” will feature a collection of works created by talented local artists. Visitors, tourists and movie bluffs alike will soon be able to marvel in both the gallery’s artwork and physical location – the former home of the classic Hollywood cinema star Loretta Young. Known as the Loretta Young House, the property was built for the actress while she filmed the movie "Ramona" in Warner Springs in 1936.
Artists featured at “The Gallery at Warner Springs” rotate on a quarterly basis. The first will be award-winning painter Judith Doxey and her depictions of beloved Warner Springs landmarks. Doxey will be available during the grand opening celebration to meet and discuss her work with attendees.
“The local artwork featured in this gallery will help tell the unique narrative of our community. Each piece will add to the existing heritage of the property, such as the resort’s location steeped in Native American history and abundant flora and fauna,” said WSRR LLC President Fred Grand. “Additionally, given the Loretta Young House’s unique place in film history, we believe that this space will help introduce fans of old cinema to our beloved resort.”
In addition to the art gallery, the Loretta Young House will be home to a visitor center and gift store. The visitor center will provide resort guests and area visitors with information on the area's many attractions: horseback riding and hiking trails, sky sailing, wineries and more. It will also feature educational exhibits and artifact displays. The gallery, visitor center and gift store will be owned and operated by Marguerite Apostolas, broker associate with Pacific Sotheby’s International Realty.
Warner Springs Ranch Resort, which was founded as a working ranch in the mid-1800s and opened as a resort in the 1920s, included a 27,000-square-foot main lodge, 250 cottages, a 144-acre golf course and clubhouse, tennis courts, restaurants, a spa, campgrounds, three swimming pools, a private airport and meeting facilities. The resort is being refurbished and reopened in phases. Features currently available for guests to enjoy include 10 renovated historic cottages, a championship golf course, miles of scenic biking and hiking trails, dining at the resort’s Golf Grill and more. Beyond the resort, the property also includes a 240-acre public trust Cultural Preserve.

Johnny Miller Joins Team at Warner Springs Ranch Golf Club
Golfing Legend to Add Signature Design Touch to Golf Course
WARNER SPRINGS, Calif. (Aug. 14, 2017) – Warner Springs Ranch Resort (WSRR) recently signed on golfing legend Johnny Miller to add his name and signature touch to the Warner Springs Ranch Golf Club. Miller, alongside his Johnny Miller Design Group, will provide expert knowledge on the redesign of select components, complementing the heritage and history of Warner Springs Ranch Resort.
“After our first visit to the resort, my sons and I were intrigued by the opportunity to be part of this amazing property’s legacy,” said Miller. “We hope to host champion level events here once the updates are complete.”
Miller has signed an ongoing deal to continue the improvements to the Warner Springs Ranch Golf Club and maintain its status as a championship golf course. The Johnny Miller Design Group is a tight-knit and family-centered enterprise, with sons Johnny Miller, Jr. and Andy Miller working together on various high-profile design projects.
The Warner Springs Ranch Golf Club was reopened in November 2015 and includes an 18-hole golf course, golf clubhouse and restaurant, the Warner Springs Golf Grill. Miller’s improvements to the golf course will begin immediately and visitors will start seeing enhancements later this year. The partnership could also lead to the future creation of nine additional holes.
Johnny Miller’s Experience
Armed with his trademark insight on all things golf, Miller’s experience as a champion player and cherished announcer will serve as an asset to the development of the golf club. Miller was inducted to the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1998, supported by his 25 PGA Tour wins and a 28-year tenure as “America’s most respected television golf analyst.” As the lead analyst for NBC Sports, the golfer-turned-broadcaster remains at the forefront of the industry with multiple Emmy nominations for “Outstanding Sports Personality/Sports Event Analyst.” In joining the WSSR team, Miller will apply his knowledge from courses across the world, elevating the iconic golf club to the next level of excellence.
Miller was first introduced to the resort and its owners by Byron Casper of Byron Casper Golf, who works very closely with WSRR. Byron continues the legacy of his father, the late acclaimed golfer Billy Casper, as the connection between the two families is one that began well before Miller became the legendary golfer that he is known as today. After one of his “fireside” talks in San Francisco, Billy fatefully reassured Johnny Miller’s mother to continue encouraging her son to become a professional golfer.
Additional California golf courses designed by Miller include Maderas Golf Club in Poway, and both courses at Silverado Rest in Napa Valley.
The Resort’s Continued Rejuvenation
Since acquiring the historic property in spring 2013, Warner Springs Ranch Resort, LLC has been working to rejuvenate the beloved property. In addition to the Golf Club, WSRR most recently re-opened 10 renovated historic cottages for overnight stays, adding to the ranch’s “Old West” essence.
“We look forward to welcoming visitors new and returning to the resort,” said Fred Grand WSRR President. “Whether you're interested in a round of golf, an escape from city life in one of our cottages, riding horses, scenic walks and adventures through the hills, or a quiet dinner on the veranda, Warner Springs Ranch Resort delivers it.”
The next phases of the resort renovation are set to include an art gallery/studio featuring the works of local artists, more updated cottages and overnight accommodations, plus reopening the famed hot springs pool complex.
