History
Since 1970, golfers have been fortunate to enjoy the game in a particularly scenic part of a beautiful city at Bennett Valley Golf Course in Santa Rosa. This tree-lined municipal course, just minutes from downtown, is surrounded by mountains carpeted with oaks, redwoods, and Monterey pines. Matanzas Creek meanders through four holes, and with no houses lining most of the course, it's just you and your game, which is aided mightily by solid course conditions. A pleasant mix of long and short holes is abundant along Ben Harmon's 6,548-yard, par-72 layout. In the early 2000s, every green was upgraded and enlarged to accompany the improved greenside bunkering. A new clubhouse and pro shop opened in 2007, serving as one of the cozier 19th holes in the North Bay. If your outdoor pursuits extend beyond golf, nearby Annadel State Park has long been a mecca for mountain bikers, equestrians, hikers and trail runners. After 45 years of operation, Bennett Valley continues to provide golfers with great golf and one of the best returns on green fee investment in California. Learn more
