    WELCOME TO THE BAY AREA PINSEEKERS

    AN ASSOCIATE CLUB OF THE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA GOLF ASSOCIATION

    The Bay Area Pinseekers Golf Club is one of the largest and most active associate clubs of the NCGA. We're unique in that we don't claim a home course. Our group of avid golfers prefers the flexibility to play the wealth of amazing golf courses in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. We have reached our maximum at 110 active members and host handicapped tournaments during the week twice each month. We play a wide variety of courses through out the year, including the opportunity to play some of The Bay Area's marquee, private courses. We currently have a wait list for new membership.

    While we're always excited to hear from golfers interested in joining us, we've intentionally limited membership in the club to 110 golfers. This isn't an attempt to create "exclusivity". It's simply the number that allows us to most effectively manage our tournament schedule. If you'd like to be considered for membership as space becomes available, please fill out the application through the link below. WE CURRENTLY HAVE A WAIT LIST.

    Designed by renowned golf course architect William Park Bell Jr. in 1937, Tilden Park Golf Course is nestled into the natural setting of the Tilden Regional Park, in the scenic Berkeley Hills. Our demanding 18-hole championship course measures 6,294 yards from the back tees and features tree-lined fairways and well-guarded greens. Our signature sixteenth hole is a challenging but beautiful 206-yard par 3 that overlooks the entire golf course and plays from an elevated tee box to an elevated green protected by two bunkers that border each side.

    We created a flowing sequence of unique and memorable holes that add up to an unforgettable golfing experience. Hole #18 stands out as one of the most strategic and dramatic closing holes in the Bay Area. Happy Valley Creek meanders across the Par 5 no less than three times to set up the hole. Nestled in the valley floor with large oak trees framing the vista, players will need to navigate the hole with three accurate shots to avoid the creek and the strategically placed bunkers to reach the large rolling green. This hole along with #17 can prove to be round killers. A great track though.

    Drawing rave reviews for its renovation, Bayonet Golf Course has ushered in a new and exciting era for the landmark golf course that overlooks the famed Monterey Peninsula. Certain to provide both challenges and inspiration to golfers for generations to come, Bayonet has been re-sculpted by award-winning golf course architect Gene Bates. Retaining its classic, tree-lined character, while showcasing Bates’ elegant bunkering and graceful greens, the new Bayonet offers expanded views of the bay. Although the overall length of Bayonet has increased only 16 yards, the strategic and visual impact created by Bates’ bunkering is immeasurable.
