Castlewood Country Club - Hill Course

Castlewood Country Club occupies a storied place in Bay Area golf history. The original property in the Castlewood Canyon area of the Livermore Valley dates to the early 20th century, and the club has long been one of the more distinguished private addresses in the East Bay. The Hill Course — one of 2 18-hole layouts on the grounds — plays across the elevated, rolling terrain that gives it its name, with the kind of panoramic exposure to the Tri-Valley landscape that the flatter valley floor simply cannot offer. The shorter par 70 format is a design choice, not a concession: the routing demands precision and course management far more than raw distance.
