The Ocean Course opened in 1997, and was designed by renowned landscape architect Arthur Hills in San Francisco’s traditional "links style” design delivering "firm and fast” fairways. The wispy native grasses accenting the tees and the plaintive wail of the bagpipers who play at weekend sundown, join forces to transport players and guests alike back to the game’s origins in Scotland. In 2008, the course is one of the best courses in California and hosted the LPGA Samsung Golf Championship.
