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.

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.

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.

A gem of a golf course in our backyard

Layout is excellent. Very well maintained. I found maintenance staff on 50% of the greens, mowing or trimming the grass. 1 hr drive from Bay Area is well worth the joy of playing this course. I will be back often.
