About
Northern California's San Juan Oaks Golf Club is located halfway between the Silicon Valley and Monterey Peninsula off Highway 101 near the historic town of San Juan Bautista in Hollister. Opened in 1996, the 18-hole golf course is Fred Couples' first signature design in California and features five sets of tees for varying skill levels. It's also home to "Club Boom Boom," a popular junior teaching program. On top of the golf course, San Juan Oaks is known especially for its elaborate facilities including banquet rooms and patios for group outings, as well as driving range and practice greens.

One of my favorite course
it’s one of my favorite course in Bay Area with little driving but worth it. Greens are in well conditions all time. Loved back nine holes tough but I like the challenges.
Hi, huynhjosh. Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing San Juan Oaks Golf Club.
Super slow green, slower pace of play
Green is too slow, as it has been.
Two groups of seniors in front of me left 2+ holes empty & enjoyed their Sunday outing with slow play, taking 5+ hours for 18 holes. The GPS on the cart kept complaining about my pace, but course marshall didn't try to push them.
I will not try this course again in pleasant weekend when seniors can have their loose socializing, which happened to me not just once.
And I wish they could make green faster & pour some sand in the bunker.

Great course!
Great course for a long hitter! Cart paths need work. Cart GPS nice but too intrusive throughout the round. Greens are in great shape! Fun course will play again for sure.

Needs Sand
Bunkers were hard sand. Almost impossible to blast.
Too windy; seriously they should warn players when wind gusts are over 30 mph. If those two issues were addressed, it would rate higher.

Worth the Drive
Had walked this course many times for junior golf tournaments, but this was the first time our regular foursome played here. It’s almost a 2 hour drive to get to SJO from the East Bay but it was definitely worth the drive down.
We had the 7:10am tee time but the twosome at 7:00am swapped with our foursome as they were still warming up at the range. The range was nice. Nice grass. Roomy and not crammed together just to squeeze in a range.
Pace was really good - typical of what you’d expect for an early tee time. There was a threesome in front of us but we lost sight of them after about the fourth hole even though we made the turn at 8:45am.
Course conditions were excellent. Greens rolled true. Fun layout. We were there in late August so it started getting toasty on the back nine. Would definitely play again.
Thank you for your review, TheDaddyCaddy. We will pass along your positive experience to our team at San Juan Oaks Golf Club. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Too many cart-path only
I didn’t plan to have to walk this much with a cart.
Several holes had cart-path only. Many area are restricted and could not use the cart. Nice greens.
