Nestled within the embracing embrace of Mount Tamalpais, Mill Valley Golf Course represents Marin County's accessible golfing spirit. Originally crafted in the early 1920s, this walkable, nine-hole layout presents a delightful, if compact, challenge. The course unfolds across gently rolling terrain, favoring strategic play over sheer distance. Its design requires careful club selection and thoughtful navigation, and many of the holes are dog legs, demanding accuracy both off the tee and on approach. While Mill Valley has never hosted a major professional event, its charm lies in its deep connection to the local community. Generations of Marin golfers have learned the game within its boundaries. Mill Valley Golf Course doesn't pretend to be anything it isn't: A neighborhood course, a place for a quick nine after work, and a beloved institution for those who cherish a good walk spoiled. The club’s close proximity to Muir Woods also means the odd local deer and other wildlife are often spectators.
