Cinnabar Hills Golf Club

Peacefully tucked into the rolling foothills east of Santa Cruz, is the championship-caliber golf course with spectacular views. Cinnabar Hills offers golfers three distinct nines: the Canyon, the Lake and the Mountain. Designed by award-winning architect John Harbottle III, the course and holes maintain the natural slope, historic oaks, and incorporates the local wildlife. Inspiring the golf club's logo, red-tail hawks can be seen flying over the course or even perched in a tree. Cinnabar Hills Golf Club Ranked #17 on Golf Advisor’s “Best of 2018: California Golf Courses” list.
The Institute
Morgan Hill, California
The Institute LLC Golf Course is an ultra-private club that was created by Frys Electronics owner John Fry and opened in 2002. The course is not open to the public and its use is minimal and exclusive, at the discretion of ownership. It was intended to be a recreational facility for the American Institute of Mathematics, which Fry also founded, but has hosted some high-level golf events. The course is just over 8,000 yards, apparently the longest course from the championship tees in California, and designed by Golf Course Architecht Damian V. Pascuzz. Aiding in its mystery, the course is not visible from the outside thanks to a mile-long fenceline walled with cypress trees.
