About Cinnabar Hills Golf Club

Cinnabar Hills Golf Club is one of Silicon Valley's most striking golf destinations, perched in the Diablo Range foothills south of San Jose with commanding views of the Santa Clara Valley below. The 27-hole facility offers three distinct nine-hole combinations — Canyon, Lake, and Mountain — each with its own character and challenge. The Mountain nine climbs through the highest terrain with sweeping panoramas, the Canyon nine threads through a dramatic ravine setting, and the Lake nine features the most open and scenic water-hazard holes. Designed by John Harbottle and opened in 1998, Cinnabar Hills quickly established itself as a premier public course in the Bay Area, earning national rankings and a loyal local following. The conditioning is consistently excellent, and the elevation changes throughout the layout demand creative shot-making and proper club selection.

History

Cinnabar Hills Golf Club was designed by John Harbottle III and opened in 1998 on 300 acres of Diablo Range foothills at the southern edge of San Jose. The facility was developed as a destination public course to serve Silicon Valley's growing golf population and has since earned numerous Golf Digest and Golfweek public course rankings. Its 27-hole configuration allows flexible tee time scheduling and consistent conditioning.

Bay Area golfers seeking a nationally ranked public course with dramatic foothill scenery and multiple nine-hole combinations to keep the experience fresh.
