About Our Club

Welcome to the Palo Alto Golf Club

The Palo Alto Golf Club is primarily a player’s club.  We typically play two tournaments a month with one being at home and one on the road.  Some of those events include NCGA qualifiers for the Zone Championship, Four Ball Championship & Senior Four Ball Championship.  Major club events include the Stroke Play Club Championship, the Match Play Championship, the Director’s Cup and the Tournament of Champions.

During the year, players can earn points, similar to the FedEx cup, by performing well in our tournaments.  The top 36 players then compete in October in one last points event to determine the Player of the Year. Fun events include the New Member Tournament where our new members get a chance to play with current members, learn about the club and get a free gift to boot.  We also have a Five Club Max event where players are limited to just five clubs in the bag.  It’s always interesting to see the different strategies players use to maximize their results. 
Our home course, Baylands Golf Links, opened in May, 2018, and was built atop the former Palo Alto Golf Course just east of US 101 on Embarcadero Road in Palo Alto.  The links-style course offers multiple tees and undulating greens that offer a challenge to all golfers.
