Ojai Country Club
Ojai Country Club was one of the first great golf courses in California and has welcomed celebrities such as Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, Will Smith, Kevin Costner and Michael Douglas. The course has hosted seven Senior PGA TOUR events and was updated considerably in 1988 by famous course designer Jay Morrish. At 6,292 yards from the blue tees, it is a par 70 course.
Pebble Beach Golf Links
Set on one of the most stunning pieces of golfing real estate in the world, this iconic golf course hugs the rugged coastline, providing wide-open vistas, cliffside fairways and small sloping greens.

You anticipate each and every storied hole while recounting some of the greatest moments in golf history.
Spyglass Hill Golf Course
Local legend maintains that Robert Louis Stevenson once wandered the Spyglass area gathering ideas for his novels. With this in mind, Robert Trent Jones Sr. set about creating a treasure of his own and combined coastal dunes and majestic pines with elevated greens and strategically placed bunkers and lakes. Rated as one of the toughest courses in the world from the Championship tees, The PGA tour consistently lists holes 6, 8 & 16 among the toughest on tour.
The Links at Spanish Bay
The design team of Robert Trent Jones Jr., Tom Watson and Sandy Tatum set out to create a true links golf course, and boy did they succeed. With sandy wastelands with bristly grasses and ever prevailing wind, The Links at Spanish Bay are so authentic that even the Monterey coastline mirrors the rugged, natural beauty of Scotland. Every evening, the bagpiper closes the course in Scottish tradition.
Silverado Golf Club
Silverado's two championship golf courses stand as the hallmark of the Napa Valley Golf experience. The North course was recently redesigned by PGA Hall of Famer Johnny Miller, and features dozens of water crossings, elevation changes and routing through historic oak trees. These beautiful courses are managed by Troon Golf so customer service is of the highest quality.
