Sixteen. From there the format changes with the size of the field rather than the number ruling you out — sixteen players is a morning of consecutive tee times, and 72 is a shotgun start. Tell us how many players you expect and we will tell you how the day would run, including which course fits. Call (510) 895-2162 or use the form on this page.

Yes, with a field of 72 players, and shotgun starts run on weekdays only. Seventy-two puts four players on every hole of the Tony Lema course, which is what a shotgun needs to work. Below that number, or on a weekend date, your field goes out on consecutive tee times instead.

Large charity and corporate tournaments generally plan six to twelve months out, and smaller outings three to six months. Weekend mornings in spring and fall are the first dates to go, so if your event has a fixed weekend every year, book the next one before you leave the current one. Weekday dates are considerably easier to get on shorter notice.

Yes, and weekdays are the easiest dates to get here. Most of our tournament calendar sits on Saturday and Sunday, which leaves weekday mornings genuinely open. If your group has any flexibility, a weekday gives you the date you actually want rather than the one that is left.

Catering comes from The Landing at Monarch Bay, our on-site restaurant, which opens at 6:30 a.m. for early starts. You can add a box lunch at the turn, a post-round buffet in the Private Banquet Room, or a reception on the Scenic Patio. There is no food and beverage minimum — you order what your group will actually eat. The kitchen's everyday menu is on our menu page.

A $100 deposit holds your date. Northern California weather rarely cancels a round outright, and when it threatens to, our first move is to reschedule rather than cancel — we will work with you to find another date. The specific deposit and rescheduling terms come in writing with your quote, so you have them before you sell a ticket to anyone.
