About this course
Rooster Run, a Petaluma mainstay since 1998, delivers accessible golf amidst the rolling hills of Sonoma County. Architect Tim Freeland crafted a player-friendly layout, foregoing penal rough for forgiving fairways. The course embraces its pastoral setting. Wide landing areas encourage aggressive play off the tee, while strategically placed bunkers demand thoughtful approaches to the greens. Gentle doglegs and subtle elevation changes provide variety without overwhelming challenge. This is golf best enjoyed with friends and family – the kind of course where a casual round doesn’t turn into a scorecard catastrophe. Rooster Run offers a respite from the pressure of championship-caliber courses. It’s a place where laughter and camaraderie echo across the fairways, where seasoned players can work on their game and newcomers can find their footing. The club champions good times and fair prices for the everyday golfer.

Getting there
The journey to Rooster Run Golf Club begins at San Francisco International Airport (SFO), roughly forty minutes north across the Golden Gate Bridge and into Sonoma County wine country, or alternatively via Oakland International (OAK) with a similar drive time through the rolling inland valleys. The final approach winds through Petaluma's tree-lined outskirts, where the urban sprawl gives way to the pastoral landscape of Northern California's agricultural belt - vineyards and oak-studded hillsides framing the road as you draw near. Private aviators may touch down at nearby Petaluma Municipal Airport (O69), a convenient option for those seeking to minimize ground time before settling into the club's understated, bucolic setting.
