Few golf clubs in California's Central Valley carry as much history as Yolo Fliers Club. Founded in the 1920s and rooted in the agricultural heartland of Yolo County, the club takes its name from the region's early aviation culture — Woodland was home to a community of flying enthusiasts during the barnstorming era, and that spirit of local identity runs through the club's DNA. It remains a private members' club with deep ties to the surrounding farming community, a rare kind of institution that feels genuinely of its place rather than imposed upon it.
Woodland sits between Sacramento and Davis in the broad, flat expanse of the Sacramento Valley, where the land is defined by rice fields, walnut orchards, and wide open skies. Golf in this part of California plays year-round, though summers run hot and winters can bring tule fog thick enough to swallow a fairway whole.
As a private club, Yolo Fliers rewards those with a connection to the membership — this is not a destination course for the passing traveler, but a proper golf home for the families and farmers who have sustained it across generations.
