About Baylands Golf Links

Baylands Golf Links in Palo Alto is a true links-style course built on the tidal flats of San Francisco Bay, offering a golf experience that is genuinely unlike anything else in the Bay Area. Wind is the defining challenge here — the exposed baylands terrain provides no shelter from the persistent bay breezes that can transform a simple iron shot into a strategic puzzle. The flat, links-style layout plays through native cordgrass and wetland habitat with views across the bay toward the East Bay hills and San Mateo Bridge. The course is part of the broader Baylands Nature Preserve, giving it an ecological context that makes the round feel like a nature walk as much as a golf game. Value-priced and city-operated, it punches well above its weight for character.

History

Baylands Golf Links was developed by the City of Palo Alto as part of the broader Baylands complex, which includes the Baylands Nature Preserve, an airport, and athletic facilities. The course takes advantage of the flat, windy bayside terrain to create a links-style experience unique in the Bay Area.

Bay Area golfers who want an authentic links experience with wind, wetland views, and a true bayside setting at an affordable city muni price.
