SANTA TERESA GOLF CLUB

The steep canyon terrain south of Silicon Valley creates dramatic elevation changes that turn every approach shot into a calculated risk. Architect George Santana maximized the natural rolling hills and mature oak groves to craft a layout where club selection matters more than distance, particularly on the dogleg par-4 15th that plunges 80 feet from tee to green. This municipal gem proves that thoughtful routing can transform challenging topography into memorable golf without breaking the bank.
