Bennett Valley Golf Course
About Bennett Valley Golf Course
Bennett Valley Golf Course opened in 1969 at the base of Bennett Peak in Santa Rosa, with Matanzas Creek winding through the tree-lined layout. Native oak, redwood and pine shape the fairways and give the course a natural, classic character.
The par-72 layout measures about 6,500 yards from the back tees. Practice facilities include a driving range with both natural grass and artificial mats, along with a large putting green. The property also hosts tournaments and private events, with indoor space and an outdoor patio available for gatherings.
