SAN JOSE CC

The mature oak and sycamore canopy creates a parkland sanctuary that feels miles removed from Silicon Valley's urban sprawl, with elevation changes that demand thoughtful club selection on nearly every approach. Water comes into play on six holes, including a memorable par-3 where the creek guards the front of an elevated green that slopes wickedly from back to front. This South Bay gem rewards course management over raw power, offering generous fairways but punishing wayward shots with strategically placed bunkers that bite into scoring zones.
