Green Hills Course
Millbrae, CA, USA





Green Hills Country Club is a mid-century marvel carved into the rolling landscape of the San Francisco Peninsula, a testament to understated elegance and enduring community. This is a place where golf feels personal, almost familial, set against a backdrop of cypress trees and panoramic views. Designed by Robert Baldock in 1958, Green Hills presents a classic parkland layout, challenging yet fair. The course winds through mature trees, demanding strategic shot placement and rewarding thoughtful play over sheer power. Known to favor a draw, the course tests players with subtly contoured greens that prioritize feel over brute force. Locals will tell you the course has seen its share of changes over the years, as evidenced by the mix of design philosophies in some of the tee boxes, and bunkers, each of which adds to the club’s character. While Green Hills might not be a name splashed across national headlines, it holds a place of deep affection within the Bay Area golfing community. It’s where generations of families have honed their games, celebrated victories, and built lasting friendships. The club also hosts a lively bocce ball group where many of the clubs members partake in the popular Italian pastime.
