BURLINGAME COUNTRY CLUB

The Bay Area's rolling hills create natural amphitheaters for golf, and this Hillsborough layout exploits every contour with surgical precision. Elevated tees launch you into sweeping valleys where mature oaks frame doglegs that demand both power and placement, particularly the downhill par-4 seventh that tempts big hitters into trouble. What sets this track apart is how the designer used the terrain's natural fall lines to create greens that gather well-struck approaches while punishing anything offline—honest architecture that rewards good golf without gimmicks.
