Located on approximately 125 acres of rolling hills in the heart of Los Gatos, La Rinconada is one of the most beautiful properties in the Santa Clara Valley. The Club overlooks the valley from the western foothills to the Santa Cruz Mountains. Members enjoy a beautiful golf course amid natural plantings, wildlife and the scenery across the Silicon Valley
The superb practice area at La Rinconada is among the best in the Bay Area. The flat 300-yard long driving range is serviced by a large, all-grass teeing area. Six green/bunker complexes provide realistic targets.
The separate short game area allows you to perfect the endless variety of shots that you will need around the greens. Undulating fairway and rough areas simulate the uneven lies that await you on the course. A very large sand bunker allows for every conceivable stance and lie. An elevated tee is also provided for wedge practice.

La Rinconada has a staff of five PGA professional who are available to help you improve your golf game. Whether you are looking to fix a flaw that just crept into your swing or want to completely revamp your game, our instructors will work with you to determine the best approach for improvement.

A three camera state-of-the-art swing video system is installed in the teaching area. The instructors take advantage of this system to help you see what is going on with your golf swing and how you are progressing. In addition, members can sign up to use the video system on their own. It has an easy to use touchscreen interface, and even allows you to download your swings to a USB drive to take home for further analysis on your PC.
