Sonoma Golf Club

Sonoma Golf Club is a private 18-hole golf course located in Sonoma, California, within the renowned wine country region. Designed by Sam Whiting and constructed in 1928, the course is considered a timeless relic of golf's golden age. The layout reflects Whiting's philosophy of genuine, natural design—free from gimmicks and overly penalizing features that emphasize power. The course presents a fair but formidable challenge that tests skill and strategy while maintaining inherent soundness that has endured for nearly a century.

Set within the scenic Sonoma Valley landscape, the course offers peaceful views and natural beauty throughout its layout, with hole #11 noted as particularly picturesque. Beyond golf, the club operates as a comprehensive private facility offering traditional Sonoma Valley architecture, a premier spa, full-service locker rooms, fitness facilities, and additional recreational amenities including bocce and tennis.

The club hosted the Charles Schwab Cup Championship, the final event of the PGA Tour Champions season, from 2003 to 2009, demonstrating its recognition as a championship-caliber venue.
