When was Green Hills Country Club established?

Green Hills Country Club was founded in 1930. 


Is membership required to use the Green Hills facilities?

Yes. Green Hills is a private club that is owned by its members and structured as a 501(c) non-profit social club. As such  you must be a member, or the guest of a member, to enjoy the Club’s facilities. 


Who owns and operates green hills?

We are member-owned, which means the Club is operated in accordance with the wishes of the membership. The Club is governed by a Board of Directors elected by the membership, and day-to-day operations are managed by a team of experienced and dedicated professionals led by the Club’s General Manager/Chief Operating Officer. Our members also have a controlling interest in the formation of the Club’s rules & regulations. 

Why Green Hills? 

Although there are many things that set us apart from other private clubs, three things truly makes Green Hills special from other area clubs: 
  • OUR WARM AND FRIENDLY MEMBERS: We are one big family, and our members will welcome you with open arms. They realize it can be difficult to meet new people and make new friends, and they want you to feel comfortable right from the start.
  • THE QUALITY OF OUR FACILITIES, THE PROFESSIONALISM OF OUR STAFF: In addition to one of the most well designed and maintained golf courses in the Bay Area, our members also enjoy a variety of high quality amenities and services. We are committed to exceedingly high standards for the Club’s maintenance, and we take great pride in providing friendly, personalized service to our members and their guests. Our service philosophy dictates nothing short of the highest level of service, professionalism and integrity.
  • OUR CLUB'S LEADERSHIP: Green Hills boasts an experienced management team, with extremely high caliber professionals in key positions – all with a proven track record of delivering a first-class private club experience. Our team is here to ensure that the club is constantly improving the overall member experience.
 

 What types of membership does Green Hills offer?

We offer family and single memberships that are designed for a wide variety of lifestyles. For those looking to take full advantage of the Club, our Proprietary Golf membership offers unlimited access to the golf course and the entire Club. For those more interested in the social aspect, we offer Social membership options, some which can include limited golf course use. All memberships include unlimited use of the heated, junior-Olympic swimming pool, fitness room, clubhouse facilities and dining privileges. All memberships are eligible for upgrade to a higher category.
 

What can you tell me about the golf course?

While Dr. Alister MacKenzie is famous for designing such notable golf courses as Augusta National and Cypress Point, our members also celebrate the indelible contribution he made to Green Hills nearly a century ago. Our 18-holes of championship golf provide all the splendor and challenge that MacKenzie is known for. And while great shot-making is rewarded, the course is also surprisingly lenient to the higher handicapper. The result is an eminently playable masterpiece for golfers of all skill levels. Impeccably maintained year-round, the golf course is continuously revered for its excellent playing conditions. We also host several opportunities for organized tournaments and friendly competitions. 

Will I have a problem getting Tee Times?

Not at all. The Club’s Bylaws place a strict limit on the number of golfing memberships to protect member’s ability to easily access playing times and protect pace of play. As such, times are generally readily available and can typically be coordinated through our golf shop with little or no advance notice.


How many tennis courts dos Green Hills have?

Our Club features two Har-Tru tennis courts. 

 

Is there a swimming pool?

Green Hills has a six-lane, heated, junior-Olympic size swimming pool with diving board, as well as a 10-person spa.


Do you offer golf and tennis instructional programs?

There are three classes of PGA golf professionals on our staff. Individual and group instruction for all skill levels is available. Tennis instruction is also available.
 

What merchandise does the Golf Pro Shop carry?

The Pro Shop offers the latest in equipment, apparel and accessories. Members receive special pricing that is typically well below what you will find elsewhere. Additionally, our staff of PGA professionals can assist with club fittings and can typically fulfill most special order requests. 


What member facilities are in the clubhouse?

In our beautiful 35,000 square foot clubhouse, you can relax in the casual MacKenzie Lounge, or enjoy a more refined experience in our spacious MacKenzie Grille restaurant. All of our cuisine is expertly prepared by our classically trained culinary team, and menus are continually updated to reflect the freshest seasonal ingredients. Members and their guests may also enjoy hosting private parties and events in one of our many banquet rooms which are available at special member rates. 


Tell me about the club's social activities. 

Our members enjoy a very active social calendar, both during season and off. Our staff hosts regular Bingo Nights, Crab Feeds, Pub Nights, as well as holiday celebrations for Easter, Mother’s Day and New Year’s Eve, to name a few. There’s something for everyone to enjoy, and loads of opportunities for members and their families to meet and make new friends. 


Can members reserve the club for private parties or functions?

The Club has several rooms available for hosting parties, and each is available by reservation. Our members regularly use the Club to host weddings, business meetings, birthdays, anniversaries, reunions, charity events and private dinner parties. Our in-house Catering team is available to assist with event planning, decorations and menu
customization.
 

Is there a food or beverage minimum or a service charge required?

Like most private clubs, our Club utilizes a quarterly food and beverage minimum spending requirement for some of our membership categories. This allows us to provide a consistent level of service and pricing in our dining outlets, and helps to keep the overall costs down for our members that utilize the Club. Our minimum spending requirements vary by membership category, and are designed to be easily attained each quarter with casual use of the Club relative to your level of membership.
