Poppy Hills 14H PR 112213 0117- Website Hero Banner - 1600 x 942

The Robert Trent Jones-designed Poppy Hills was the first course owned and operated by an amateur golf association in the U.S. It is both a PGA Tour and USGA Championship venue, and ‘Top 100’ in Golf Digest’s Greatest Public Courses.

Poppy Ridge is located amid the scenic Livermore Valley Wine Country — Masterfully sculpted by Jay Blasi, the all-new 18-hole championship course winds through the natural landscape, providing a stunning visual contrast amidst the golden, savannah-covered hills and the vineyards just beyond the property.
