1.1 History of the company
In 1971, James W. Colachis, a businessman in Arizona, acquired the Surf & Sand Resort in
Laguna Beach, California. Upon obtaining the space, he transformed it drastically making it one
of the most outstanding beach resorts in the United States. Additionally, Rancho Bernardo Inn,
located in San Diego’s lovely North County area, was accomplished in 1975 under the JC
Resorts LLC. Major expenditures for the benefit of expanding the number of rooms upgrading
the 18 hole championship golf course, adding twelve new tennis courts and the general
remodeling of this most gracious country resort have made it one of the country’s premier golf
and tennis resorts. In addition to the 27 hole Oaks North golf course, the resort now covers 265
acres.
In 1983, the company added the Scripps Inn, a small but charming 14 unit Inn, overlooking the
Pacific Ocean. Scripps Inn is located just a few miles from the quaint village of La Jolla and is
situated next to our corporate office. In 1986, the Company purchased the Temecula Creek Inn
and immediately commenced a total renovation of the property. In 2002, an additional 48 rooms
were added to the property, along with new a state-of-the-art conference facility. In early 1993,
the company completed the construction of its 18-hole championship Twin Oaks Golf course
located in San Macros.
In addition to the Company-owned golf courses, JC Resorts also manages golf courses for third
parties. The majority of the managed courses are available to our guests and to the general
public. All of the facilities operated by JC Resorts are renowned for their high quality of service.
Since 1971, JC Resorts has been a proven leader in the management and operation of premium
golf and resort properties where diverse entities are united by the same authentic vision,
“MAKING MEMORIES. EVERY GUEST. EVERY TIME”, which means an impeccable service
without stuffiness, attention to detail without stifling formality and comfortable accommodations
without the trace of pretentiousness. We revel in a unique way and we offer a customized
approach to maximize the performance of individual properties while enhancing their distinctive
character.
