Established in 1899, the San Jose Country Club is the fourth oldest golf club in Northern California. The course is truly unique to the Bay Area, originally designed in 1912 by Tom Nicoll, a Scottish-born professional and the club's first head pro, and renovated eighty eight years later by John Harbottle, a classic golf course architect who likened the course to Gleneagles and noted it was “a touch of Scotland.”
San Jose Country Club is known for its commitment and love of the game of golf and has a history steeped in tradition. SJCC is a club for golfers - it always has been and will be, ever since the days when the tees were board platforms covered with doormats, when tees were made with a bucket of sand, and when sheep kept the fairways trimmed.
The Club is a founding member of the NCGA and has turned out many champions through the years. Eddie Duino, the Club pro who was named "Club Professional of the Year" in 1959, gave lessons to Roger Maltbie, Ken Venturi, and Congressman Don Edwards, who are still members today. Ernie Pieper, whose swing was most compared to Bobby Jones and of whom Jones purportedly referred to as "the man with a near-perfect swing" won 15 Santa Clara County Championships. Through the years, the long list of golf pros and celebrities who have enjoyed our course include Ben Hogan, Walter Hagen, Sam Snead, Byron Nelson, and Johnny Miller.
The youth of today are the golfers and champions of tomorrow, and San Jose Country Club is unique in its dedication to youth development and instruction, providing summer golf camps to instruction and competition for all ages and skill levels.
The Club provides golf and social activities in a family friendly environment of mutual respect, friendship, and camaraderie. Members utilize the clubhouse and pool for business luncheons, casual and formal dining with a spectacular view of Silicon Valley, and for special events. Being close to downtown San Jose, the facility also books a limited number of non-member events and weddings and receptions each year.
If golf is your game, San Jose Country Club is the best golfing value in the Bay Area!
