Tel: (707) 277-7129

Designed by Ed DeFelice. Put away the driver on this very hilly course, which is lined by houses. This creates plenty of out-of-bounds, but also creates separation between the holes. The greens are good sized and elevated. The views of Clear Lake are spectacular. The executive six-hole course is now a Frisbee golf course. From Napa (about 80 miles north to the course): Take Highway 29 north through Middletown to Lower Lake. Make a left (still on Highway 29) and drive seven miles to Soda Bay. Turn right on Soda Bay Road to Fairway Drive.
