SKYLINKS AT BUCHANAN FIELDS GOLF COURSE

The Bay Area's most underrated municipal track transforms what was once flat farmland into a surprisingly strategic test through clever routing and well-placed water hazards. The back nine's elevated tees reveal sweeping views of Mount Diablo while demanding precise iron play into greens protected by mature eucalyptus groves. Smart golfers embrace the afternoon winds that howl across these exposed Contra Costa County plains, using the gusts to their advantage on the par-5 finishing holes.
