About this course

Los Altos Golf & Country Club is a classic, understated presence in the heart of Silicon Valley, reflecting the quiet confidence of its surroundings. Nestled amongst the rolling hills of Los Altos, its origins trace back to the post-war boom, embodying a spirit of community and recreation. Originally laid out in the mid-20th century, the course offers a traditional parkland style experience. The gently undulating terrain, defined by mature oak and eucalyptus trees, features tree lined fairways, demanding strategic play. While not overly long by modern standards, accuracy and shot placement are valued over sheer power, with subtle doglegs and well-guarded greens. While the course isn't renowned for hosting major championships, its tight layout can present a stern test of golf. Beyond the course, Los Altos Golf & Country Club offers a slice of old school country club charm with a down to earth membership. The atmosphere is distinctly Northern Californian, reflecting the low-key, understated aesthetic of the Bay Area's Peninsula.
