Designed by legendary golf course architects Arnold Palmer and Francis Duane, The Old Course opened for play in October of 1973. Seventeen years later it was carefully renovated by award-wining golf architect Arthur Hills who also oversaw a further renovation of the 18th that was completed in October 2006.

Sports icons from Joe DiMaggio and Barry Bonds have been challenged by this spectacular course, which is noted for its angular doglegged fairways, greens surrounded by deep bunkering, water on nine holes, barrancas, and majestic Cypress, Monterey, and New Zealand Christmas trees.

Since its inception, The Old Course has garnered high praise from avid golfers and critics alike, including a recent Four Star rating from Golf Digest (one of only two in the San Francisco Bay Area that year with our Ocean Course receiving the other Four Star rating). The breathtaking par-4 final hole on this course has repeatedly been ranked among the best in golf both for its challenge as well as for its unmatched scenery.
