Welcome to The Golf Club at Moffett Field!
The Golf Club at Moffett Field features a 18-hole championship golf course and is located near Mountain View, California. The course measures 6,517 yards from the back tees and plays to a par of 72 . The course rating is 71.0 and Moffett Field has a slope rating of 126 on the kikuyugrass fairways. Moffett Field Golf Course opened in 1959, and the Ames Exchange manages this facility, with Betty Larson as the General Manager.
The former military course has been modernized and upgraded and is accessible to invited guests. It now features meandering fairways, large sand features and elevated tees. There is a terrific new practice area designed to improve your putting and chipping game. Plus there are refurbished and strategically located cart paths that vastly improve access and transport around the golf course. What hasn't changed are the beautiful location and spectacular views that have always made the course a popular and attractive destination...not to mention the red tail hawks, burrowing owls, and vast array of other bird and animal species that make the place a veritable wildlife preserve.
The Golf Club at Moffett Field is a full-service venue that includes the 18-hole championship course, electric golf cars, a Bar & Grill, cocktail lounge, Golf Shop, outdoor deck, driving range, and new putting and chipping greens. This practice area provides an ideal place to perfect challenging sand, chip and pitch shots. It can also be set up as a 9-hole chip and putt course for special, fun events.
Course Information
Playing the Golf Club at Moffett has never been easier. The Golf Club is located on Federal property so all players must be U. S. citizens. Guests must call in advance and request to play the golf course by contacting the Tournament Director, Mike Cid, at (650)603-8026. Federal employees and contractors, NASA partners, and active duty and retired military members can call ahead to the Golf Shop at (650) 603-8026 to reserve a tee time, learn access information and make arrangements for themselves and their special guests. Best of all, the course still offers old-world affordability with fees ranging from an incredibly low, super twilight rate of $10 to only $40 during peak weekend hours. Members of the military, federal employees and government contractors are eligible for discounted rates.
In a twist of irony, the original, very-flat course was named the ‘Hill Course' in honor of Captain Arthur S. Hill, the Commanding Officer at Moffett when the facility opened in 1959. Designed by Bob E. Baldock, the course began as a nine-hole venue before expansion to 18 holes ten years later. In 2007, improvements were made to recontoured terrain, add partial concrete car paths, bunker restoration and greens modification. The course remains at par 72, playing to a maximum of 6,572 yards from the challenging blue tees.
The Golf Club at Moffett Field is the perfect venue for employee recreational activities, whether it's a golf tournament or league, bucket of balls at the driving range, putting contest, barbeque, luncheon or after-work social. The golf course can host groups up to 144 golfers for shotgun tournaments and fundraisers. All tournaments and special events can be booked up to one year in advance by calling the Tournament Director, Mike Cid, at (650) 603-8026.
