About
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.

Still a hidden Gem for the area
I'll start off with saying this has been my favorite track over the years. However it's been 2-3 years since playing last. Fairways were great, greens were probably the best I've ever seen out there. And the bunkers that have been worked on are pristine. The bunkers still in need of work also looked pretty good. Pace of play is a little slow because it s a tough (but fair) and long course. Snack bar at the turn was open and very friendly. Staff inside were exceptional, including the gentlemen arranging the carts and range balls. I would suggest a starter be more positioned near the 1st tee to better coordinate tee times, but that's a small knock on an amazing day of golf.
great course bad etiquette
Sadly, whilst this tarck is superb and a real good test of your game.... it suffers from people cutting in and ruining the pace of play. Course marshalls needed.

Very windy but a beautiful course
We had to leave after 13 holes as it was almost impossible to hit the ball with any accuracy. Scenery is beautiful and the course is well maintained.

San Juan Oaks
Course is decent. Pace of play is always slow whenever I play there. Greens are kinda slow for what I’m used to.

Beautiful course, slow play
Have played here before and thoroughly enjoyed it. They could use a ranger to move play along. Took five hours. But still enjoy the course and beautiful vistas around. Will go back. Good value.

Nice course
It’s probably been over 10 years since I last played here. Course was in overall good shape with a couple of patchy areas which can be expected for this time of year. Weather turned out great and I liked the course layout.

Underrated
San Juan Oaks would be getting more street cred and golfing cred if it wasn't away from the hussle bussle of San Jose proper. Great trac and great views and value
Hello, Mark4857557. Thank you for visiting us at San Juan Oaks Golf Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Great course but...
Greens were pretty bumpy today. Perhaps a hangover from a punch that occurred 1-2 months earlier? Bunkers are hard pan - very little loose sand. Several tee boxes were pretty chewed up.
