It might not have a lot of competition, but Gilroy Golf Course dubs itself as the "Best 11-Hole Golf Course in America." Built by local farmers and businessmen in 1923, this unique 11-hole routing east of Santa Cruz features small greens and wide, tree-lined fairways set along the Uvas Valley that has changed very little since its founding. Though not a full 18, the golf course is still plenty challenging, including the 245-yard par-3 8th hole, a scenic tee shot considered to be the course's signature. Gilroy Golf Course has suitable BBQ and outing facilities for larger groups.

Best value not to be missed

Just off hecker pass a hidden surprise,
Ever play a course and say now that I played I know better the next time well here you get 2 chances to play the same 9 holes and it really works, 9 and 18 are from different tee box location to the same hole both are challenging.
Try it I think you'll like it

Good course the grass is nothing special but it is very green and well kept greens were a bit slower than usual but all good except for one par 3 that looks as if local riff raft had a pass party I recommend it.
