Stonebrae Course
Hayward, CA, USA





Stonebrae at TPC Stonebrae, nestled in the Hayward Hills, presents a dramatic contrast: a modern interpretation of golf set against a landscape steeped in California’s ranching history. The course, routed through the rolling terrain and golden grasslands characteristic of the East Bay, offers sweeping views of the San Francisco Bay, a panorama that belies the strategic challenges within. Architect Arthur Hills crafted a layout that both rewards length and demands creative shot-making. Wide fairways often tempt bold drives, but well-placed bunkers and strategically contoured greens punish errant approaches. The prevailing winds across the exposed hillsides add another layer of complexity, requiring players to carefully assess club selection and trajectory. Its design can force players into doglegs with blind shots as well, adding to its challenging but intriguing layout. While Stonebrae hasn't hosted events on a major tour level, it is considered a prominent and highly regarded course within the Bay Area. More than the golf, the club fosters a strong sense of community among its members, drawn from the diverse professional and entrepreneurial circles of the region. The club is known for its elegant clubhouse and family-focused environment as well.
