Tournament

San Jose's Tournament Players Club at Stonebrae — wait, this one goes by simply "Tournament," which points most likely to one of several San Jose-area public or semi-private layouts that have carried that name over the years. Without certainty about which specific facility this is, the honest approach is to set the scene: San Jose sits at the southern end of the Bay Area, where the Santa Clara Valley transitions from tech-corridor flatlands toward the oak-studded foothills of the Diablo Range and the Santa Cruz Mountains. Golf here tends to play firm and fast in the dry summer months, with coastal fog sometimes softening mornings before the sun takes over.
