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.

A gem of a golf course in our backyard
Layout is excellent. Very well maintained. I found maintenance staff on 50% of the greens, mowing or trimming the grass. 1 hr drive from Bay Area is well worth the joy of playing this course. I will be back often.

Great value for a premium course!
Enjoyed the round, with the exception of the sand traps that have no sand, but this is typical of just about all the courses I played in the last 18 months. Last time I played this course was 3 years ago, but still remembered a few of the holes!
Thank you for taking the time to review us, j1dzbanski. Your feedback is valuable, and we appreciate your business. San Juan Oaks Golf Club thanks you!

Workers Disregard Health Hazard.
First time playing the course. 1st hole group of $ jumping tee time. Workers on tee boxes, on course no etiquette to the golfers who pay to play. Some fairways were wet. Greens were slow. Most of all the beverage cart girl showed up on hole 3 saw her at the turn in a air conditioner room was told to-stay inside jump in freezer to keep cool. Temperature rose to 104 degrees and humid never saw the beverage cart until we were leaving the course. No water coolers on the course no ball washers on the course. Medically I was dehydrated and was cramping up. I believe the board of health should be notified, it’s a health issue. Other course I’ve played put two bottles of water per player on the cart. No consideration at all.
Hello Lobstahman258, thank you for taking the time to review the course. On the day that you played we had the beverage cart on the course until 4 p.m. as well as the snack bar open which sells beverages. Due to COVID-19 our local county had us remove all water stations on the course. We're sorry that your over-all experience was anything short of excellent and we do hope that you'll give San Juan Oaks Golf Club another try in the future. Thank you.

Mulligan Knights
The Cart Paths need to be re-cemented and Golf Ball Washers with Reusable Towels need to be installed at every Tee Off. The Greens are well kept and the Staff, very welcoming.
Take care of the to suggestions and you will be a 5 star. Thank you I had a great time golfing.

Tough Course
Always wanted to play out therre but heard it could get hot in the summer.
It was not to hot on the day we went out but actually windy, especially on the back.
Challenging course, long but made even more difficult by wind.
Fun course though, would play again, but check weather conditions beforehand,
Some difficult lies out there also.

San Juan Oaks
Great track. The course was in good condition and the greens were really well taken care of. The PRO shop was more than friendly which sadly is a rare occasion these days.
Obviously we are still under Covid conditions so not much was available as far as amenities are concerned. Our foursome went at 9:30 and the weather couldn't have been nicer. As always with anything out in this area, the winds will pick up by 11-12, so our back nine was a little backed up around the 14th hole.
All things considered, I'd highly suggest giving the oaks a run in you're in the Hollister/Gilroy/SanJose area.
