    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.

    Del Monte is a landmark course that has played an instrumental role in popularizing golf out West since its inception in 1897. The birthplace of the California State Amateur and the oldest course in continuous operation west of the Mississippi retains much of that classic charm today, challenging the game’s best golfers with its small, sloping, old-school greens. Originally designed as a nine-hole course in 1897 by Charles E. Maud and expanded to 18 holes in 1902, Del Monte promptly attracted the game’s best players. The course’s Del Monte Championship was so highly regarded that many considered the champion to be the best golfer in the state. When the California State Amateur was founded in 1912, Del Monte was the natural choice to host it. Del Monte was also selected to host the 1916 Western Amateur, marking the first time one of the era’s biggest national amateur events was played west of Colorado.
