Palo Alto Hills Golf & Country Club

Golf Digest has published their Best New Courses of 2022, and in the category of Best Transformation Palo Alto Hills Golf & Country Club is pleased to be recognized as Runner Up.

This category is for courses that undergo a transformation more profound than a typical renovation. The name and propriety of the course remain the same, but the design work introduces a new architectural concept, and, importantly, new holes, new par values and often re-routed sections of the course.

The judges noted: “Located in the foothills above Palo Alto and south San Francisco Bay, this club has enjoyed a spectacular, serene setting inside a nature preserve since it was built in the late 1950s. Architect Brian Costello has made significant upgrades to each nine over the previous two seasons, including opening hole corridors, reworking the bunkering scheme, and merging some holes while breaking up others to bring the design up to the standards of the views.”

We completed our 18-hole golf course remodel in late Spring of 2022 which has been a clear success. The new rolling fairways, expansive greens, fluffy bunkers and improved views are noticed by members and guests.

Thank you to those who worked tirelessly to design and bring to life this course remodel, and a huge thanks to our members for their patience during the construction!

Happy holidays from PAHGCC

We hope you are all enjoying the last few days of 2022, cheers to what's to come in 2023!

Choosing a new Club can be daunting and thrilling at the same time.

In more ways than one, it is akin to choosing your second home. And the truth is, your experience is whatever you want it to be. Once you join the family, we encourage you to forge your own path, to create your own story.

If you like wine, we have a certified sommelier to guide you through our nearly 300 label wine list. If you want to engage the whole family, we have programming in all facets of the childhood experience, from taking your first swim, to picking up a golf club for the first time.

The story of our Club lives in the magic of our hills. A golfer's haven, a family's retreat, a wine lover's library, the true marvel is that everyone's story here is written differently, but all shared within the same scene.

We are sad to hear that Lyn Nelson has passed away at the age of 59. Lyn was a major part of the Northern California golfing community and worked at PAH for over 20 years, in various positions from bag room to general manager. She will be missed greatly.
