Sonoma Golf Club’s Course is as true to the tenets of the game of golf today as it was almost a 100 years ago. Playing just over 7,100 yards from the championship tees, this classic layout offers strategic choices and challenges that excite golfers swinging graphite and titanium just as it did when they were carrying hickory and persimmon. As its heart is a treasured “core golf” experience set on 177 acres of rolling terrain highlighted by massive oaks, lakes and sweeping vistas of Mayacamas Mountains and neighboring vineyards. Genuine by nature, the course follows traditional design principles, featuring different challenges and subtleties that balance rewards with risk and consequences. There is no gimmicky obstacles, no modern “penalizing” approaches that reduce the game to just power and putting. The parkland layout is a striking example of pure golf at its finest. The absense of homes and other structures puts you in an uncommonly serene and beautiful place that substantially adds to your enjoyment. The open design also enables you to anticipate upcoming holes and to reflect upon those already played. The holes offer infinite variety, playing in every direction, as well as uphill and downhill. You’ll find it to be a course of substance and character that play differently from day-to-day, never getting old.
