A private golf and country club in the heart of Los Altos — where championship golf, timeless traditions, and exceptional member experiences come together.
For over a century, Los Altos Golf & Country Club has served as a timeless respite from the hurried pace of Silicon Valley — a home away from home for generations of member families.
Set against the Santa Cruz Mountain Coastal Range, LAGCC is a private, member-owned club where friends invite friends and the traditions of championship golf, family recreation, and refined hospitality are carried forward each day.
Originally designed in 1923 by Tom Nicoll, our 18-hole, par 71 course underwent a complete renovation in 2004. Rye grass fairways and bent grass greens keep play crisp within a day of heavy rain, while a new Pro Shop and 10 state-of-the-art simulators bring the practice game into a new era.
Membership is by invitation only. Three categories are designed to suit every stage of life and every family.
Full use of every Club amenity, including the golf course and practice facilities. The only category with voting rights and a proprietary interest.
All amenities of the Club with tiered pricing based on age, offering reduced initiation fees and dues for the next generation of LAGCC members.
Every beautifully designed amenity of the Club, from aquatics and racquets to dining and wellness — for the family that wants the LAGCC experience without regular golf access.
From championship golf to a Certified Sommelier's cellar, LAGCC's amenities are designed for the full life of a member family.
From weddings on the Loyola Patio overlooking the golf course to corporate gatherings in the Sequoia Room with its private bar and patio — our Events Team brings quality service, exquisite cuisine, and artisan wines to every celebration.
The Los Altos Golf & Country Club can trace its beauty and beginnings to the 1800s, when Governor Alvarado helped found Rancho San Antonio, a square league of land in the Santa Clara Valley. The University of Santa Clara later purchased 700 acres from that original plot as a new site for its college.
The Club's Articles of Incorporation are dated October 29, 1923 and its bylaws were officially adopted on November 19, 1923. The founding group led by President Charles A. Gray bought the land from the University of Santa Clara, setting aside 155 acres for Club use and subdividing the rest for homes. Tom Nicolls was the club's first golf pro and chief architect of the Club's facilities.
In 1959, Dr. Lee Shahinian became President and over the next 12 years made improvements that helped make LAGCC one of the most scenic golf courses in Northern California. He planted 1,000 Redwoods by hand, bordering the 9th and 18th holes, and added another 500 varieties throughout the course. He dug the lakes at holes 9 and 18, developed the sprinkler and irrigation systems, and fenced the golf course.
In October 2010 the Membership approved a Clubhouse Renovation Plan. The completed project delivers significant enhancements while preserving the unique character of the club — an expanded Grill with new Wine Cellar and outdoor fire pits, new locker rooms with steam, sauna, and whirlpool amenities and private lounges for both men and women, a 3,400 sq ft co-ed state-of-the-art Fitness facility, a redesigned kitchen, and the beautiful new Sequoia Room with a private bar and patio for member and member-sponsored events.
Golf, family, tradition, and exceptional hospitality — all in one private Los Altos setting.
