These nine private clubs span San Francisco, the Peninsula, Oakland, Millbrae, and Sonoma County. The selection is about golf-course design and history, not a ranking of membership difficulty or price. The club’s own membership office is the source for current access and availability.

For a city-first comparison of membership categories and questions to ask, use our San Francisco country club and membership guide. The course profiles below focus on the places themselves. A private course can still have different guest, event, or lodging policies, so confirm access with its operator.

This course selection cannot tell you what a club currently charges or whether a category is open. Start with the San Francisco and Bay Area membership comparison and contact the club for its current terms.
