Located at the southern end of the Gavilan College Campus in Gilroy, California; this nine hole public golf gem is a favorite spot for the recreational golfer. Step back in time and enjoy a quick nine where you can play a round in about an hour, the coffee is free and the staff is friendly.

Built in the late 1960’s, Gavilan College Golf Course has been a popular place where thousands of golfers learned to play and continue to do so in a relaxed country atmosphere. With live oak trees and grazing cattle surrounding you, this par 31 layout is challenging enough for the experienced golfer yet inviting for the beginner.

With very subtle topography change, this course is one of the very few left were walking is more the norm than the exception. The yardage ranges from a scant 90 yard par three over a small pond to a 350 yard tree lined par 4.  A full driving range awaits you with both grass and synthetic mat options for you to practice.  So come out and play this golf course that “time forgot”.  You owe it to yourself.

The course is also the southern home of the “First Tee of Silicon Valley” junior life skills golf program.
