GREEN HILLS COUNTRY CLUB (1930)

BAY AREA REGION

Members only - 18 hole

500 End of Ludeman Lane, Millbrae, CA 94030

Tel: (650) 583-0882

Designed by Alister Mackenzie. The club has done an excellent job of bringing back the original Alister Mackenzie design. None of the challenges is hidden on this short layout, yet course knowledge is key to scoring well. Don't miss the greens; getting up and down is no easy task and may be one reason this 6,300-yard track carries a slope of 139 from the back tees. From San Francisco (about 15 miles south to the course): Take US 101 south. Exit onto Millbrae Avenue, heading west. Turn right on EI Camino Real. After two or three miles, turn left on Ludeman Lane. There is no light for Ludeman Lane, but there is a left-turn lane.

The yardage listed is for the Orange Course. From Riverside (about 15 miles southwest to the course): Take Highway 91 west. Exit at Green River Road and head north about one-half mile.
