PAGC played our 11th tournament of the 2026 season at the beautiful San Juan Oaks Golf Club in Hollister California.

Featuring a Fred Couples and Gene Bates design, the redesigned course features rolling fairways, oak trees and water features throughout.

A sunny, warm day greeted the players, the course made more challenging by winds gusting to 21mph for this Individual Max Score tournament.
