Golf Course Description
The golf course at La Rinconada is set among rolling hills with narrow, tree-lined fairways. A shotmaker’s course, the greens are small and undulating and protected by many bunkers. Tees and greens are placed close together making the course a joy to walk.
The La Rinconada course was designed by William Jefferson, a protégé of Tom Morris, the nephew of the famous British Open champion of the same name. Jefferson was also influenced by Thomas Bendelow, the designer of the course at Medinah Country Club. It is a truly classic design.

The separate short game practice area has a large green with uphill and downhill bunkers, extensive chipping and pitching areas around the green, and an elevated tee for wedge practice.
A large practice putting green with 12 holes is located between the 5th green and 6th tee. It provides ample opportunity to practice the wide variety of putts you’ll encounter on the course.
