San Juan Oaks Golf Club
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.

Pace of play/restrurant opening
Pace of play excellent...considering all the folks on the course. Time to reopen restrurant!
Hello and thank you for your 5-star rating, chicanogolf! We're delighted you enjoyed your round. Please book another round with us soon, and thanks for choosing San Juan Oaks Golf Club!
Still a great track, needs $$ for bunkers, and pace of play was not good.
Wonderful course, very challenging when windy (fairly usual).
Absolutely awful pace of play today. 9:40 tee time on a Saturday, apparently a very slow group out early, the four groups in front of us were all keeping up, but waited on Every. Single. Tee. More than five hours, and for no good reason.

Ok, maybe not a destination course
Greens and fairways were nice. People were nice. The layout was strange but not is a cool way. More like an almost miniature golf way.
Not sure I’ll be coming back with the other great choices in the area.

Love SJO
I am a member. Love the course. Pace of play was slow that day, but overall it’s one of the hidden gems of the Monterey area.
Your feedback is important to us, Bcollom7. Thank you for sharing your recent experience. We look forward to seeing you again at the course soon! Thanks for choosing San Juan Oaks Golf Club.
San Juan
I love this course but I played it on a few days after the greens were punched and the last few times I’ve played there the greens have been rolling pretty slow. The pace of play can’t get a little long a times too.
Thank you for your review, u314160123313. We will pass along your experience to our team at San Juan Oaks Golf Club. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Did you play on the 3rd? Are the greens even playable at this time or is not worth it? Looking to play out there on the 7th.
Hello and thank you for your 5-star rating, Gabriel2419615! We're delighted you enjoyed your round. Please book another round with us soon, and thanks for choosing San Juan Oaks Golf Club!
Love course but greens were just sanded
Always love the layout. Weather couldn't have been better. Greens were sanded though and inconsistent in speed. Another week or two and is have given a better eating. Pace was 2 hours for the front but 2 hours 45 on the back. Waited on most tees on the back.

Great layout combined with excellent conditions
San Juan Oaks offers a great layout with a mixture of challenging holes and friendly "scoreable" ones. Super friendly staff.

Great Course
I'm hesitant to recommend this awesome course because I don't want it to get packed like the Bay Area courses but this course is now my favorite
Thanks so much for your wonderful review, LaniHaddock. We are thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed your time with us. Please visit again soon. Thanks for choosing San Juan Oaks Golf Club!
Easy access, decent condition
It’s about an hour drive from the Bay Area. Course condition has been up to par with the majority of the well-kept courses around, even with the amount of traffic during this SIP period.
The course offer enough challenges to make each and every round interesting. When you are playing well, you get rewarded, but on an off day, you’ll pay dearly.
Probably due to distance from the Bay Area, it is not hard to get a tee time here, and the pace is fairly relaxed. You do run into slow playing groups from time to time, but it hasn’t been a big issue. This has been my primary go-to course for the past 6 months.
Hello and thank you for your 5-star rating, gundam91! We're delighted you enjoyed your round. Please book another round with us soon, and thanks for choosing San Juan Oaks Golf Club!
Bit rough
Just needs done tlc around the fairways and greens to be a great value and great course.

So Windy = Slow Play
It was extremely windy that I believe it slowed the pace of play to a crawl. Just one of those days. Looking forward to the 80-90 light breeze days.
