Mill Valley Golf Course : One of Mill Valley’s many hidden treasures

Almost hidden away in one of Mill Valley’s peaceful, winding canyons lies a true neighborhood treasure: the Mill Valley Golf Course. Spanning 42 acres, this beautiful 9-hole course is one of the best-kept secrets in Marin County.

A Vibrant Community Hub

What makes this course so special isn't just the layout—it’s the people. It is a vibrant community hub where players of all generations share the fairways. On any given afternoon, you’ll see local kids biking down the canyon roads with their golf bags slung over their shoulders, eager to hit a round after school, to seasoned locals playing a round, the mix of people creates an incredibly welcoming, relaxed atmosphere.

Breathtaking Scenery & Off-Course Amenities

The landscape here is nothing short of magical. You are entirely surrounded by mature redwood trees, tranquil creeks, and stunning views of the hills. If you look up from the fairways, you can spot the nearby trails weaving through the ridgelines that frame the canyon.

To make a day here even more perfect, the course recently introduced Porch 1919, a fantastic food and beverage trailer. It is the ultimate spot to grab a bite, sip a drink, and soak in the towering redwoods after your game.

When the Sun Goes Down

As day turns to dusk, the energy of the course shifts beautifully. When the last golfers pack up and the sun drops behind the canyon walls, a peaceful quiet settles over the grass. If you linger just long enough, you'll hear the wild, enchanting call of coyotes and hoot owls echoing from the hills above, reminding you just how beautifully intertwined this course is with the raw nature of Marin.

This local gem is a must-visit.
