Burlingame at Burlingame Country Club

Burlingame Country Club, a stalwart of the San Francisco Peninsula, presents a classic, understated golfing experience that embodies the region's refined sensibilities. Tucked into the verdant hills of Hillsborough, the course meanders through terrain that subtly challenges rather than overwhelms.

Originally crafted during the early 20th century, the course has seen renovations by notable architects, refining its strategic elements. The layout favors a thoughtful approach, with doglegs and contoured greens rewarding course management over sheer power. Errant tee shots will have a difficult time finding their ball amongst the mature cypress and eucalyptus trees lining the fairways. While not a regular host to major championships, Burlingame Country Club has long been a place where local and regional competitions have been played with a premium placed on its members.

The club is known for its low-key elegance and tight-knit membership, where privacy is paramount. While it may not command global recognition, Burlingame Country Club holds a cherished place in the Bay Area's golfing landscape, offering a challenging and enjoyable test for players of all skill levels with a premium placed on its members and their guests. The club's social scene is as important as the golf; members enjoy gathering at the 19th hole to relive their rounds, and in particular, sharing stories about some of the more challenging approaches to some of the holes, as well as discussing various lore that the course has seen in its long history.
