GC, Novato new!
A new course up in Marin, just off 101 on highway 37, this challenging
course gets everything right... |

If you can find someone who's a member of this private club,
you'll want to give it a try. It will show why people pay to
join these kind of places. |

Hey, isn't this supposed to be the best course for the money
in the East Bay? It's still one of the better deals around,
but it's not quite what it used to be. |

If you're looking to go a little upscale and get your money's
worth, this is the place. Don't get too in love with your driver,
though. |

Confidence low because you've been scuffling lately? Come out
to this place. It's easy. Lots of short holes with little trouble
make this a great place to get back on track. |

Going to SFO is a real pain, but it can be made much more pleasurable
with a stop at this nearby golf course on the way. |

OK, maybe this is a little out of the Bay Area, but it's well
worth the drive. Two courses for 100 bucks! Great courses, too. |

Road trip! Lake Tahoe is not as far away as you'd think. If
you love golf and gambling, this is heaven. Even if you just
love golf. |

You have to be looking for this place, because you won't just
drive by on your way to somewhere else. It's worth the trip,
though. |

Don't worry that it's not a true Scottish-style links course,
it's still great. Here at sfbaygolf.com, we love any course
by the water. |

Ahh, golf with no pretense. Tired of the country club uppity
ups? Get up in the Oakland hills to this place. You might also
want to bring a camera to capture some breathtaking views. |

If wind doesn't bother you, and it hasn't rained in a month
or so, this is a great place to play. It's a Goldilocks course.
Not too much of anything. Just right. |

Looking for the best round of golf in the East Bay for under
$20? Here it is. Check out this beautifully maintained course.
But don't drive on the fairway! |

Not technically in the Bay Area, this is one of those worth-the-drive
courses. How often can you play where the pros play? It'll make
you appreciate Tiger. |

Trees? Who needs trees? This 27-hole layout gives you all you
can handle with just one tree. It's one of the Bay Area's great
bargains. |

Give the course the Most Improved Award. It used to be a dump,
but now it's in pretty good shape, and a couple of the holes
have been redesigned. |

This course doesn't look like much, but the length makes it
a pretty good test of your game. And the pace makes it a test
of your patience. |

If you like hills and tight fairways, this is the course for
you. Despite starting you off with a killer hole, this is one
of the Bay Area's most popular courses. |

Creek, Lincoln new!
Don't worry if you're a little disappointed that you drove all
the way out toward Sacramento for what you see on the first
hole. It gets better, so much better that you'll be wanting
to make the trip again. |

This gorgeous, high-end course is definitely worth the drive
out to wine country. And it really is in wine country. You can
pick grapes between shots. |

This brand new private club east of Sacramento is a great day
of golf. Start saving up for that membership. |

Everyone plays 18 here, just not always in the same order. On
any given fairway, you could get hit by a ball from another
tee. Bring a helmet. |
