Designed by Ted Robinson, Mike Strantz (remodel). Built in the hills, this development course is scenic, but really requires a golf cart to play it. With the elevation changes and hazards, local knowledge comes in handy. Reciprocal play with other members-only clubs is allowed. From within San Jose: Off US 101, exit at Blossom Hill/Silver Creek and head east. Drive about three miles. The entrance is on the right.
