Sonoma Golf Club
About Sonoma Golf Club
Sonoma Golf Club traces its origins to the 1920s, when the president of the California Golf Association, along with a group of golf professionals, was brought to the Sonoma Valley to identify a suitable site for a golf course. The land they selected became the home of the club, a course rooted in an early era of American golf architecture.
Today the club operates as a private facility set against the landscape of the Sonoma Wine Valley. Play is available to members and to those invited as guests of a member or of the club.
