Mayacama
Mayacama Golf Club is located in a secluded 600-acre sanctuary in the heart of California's Winelands. It’s a cross between a wine estate and a golf club and if you like a tipple you’ll love it here alongside the premier winemakers of Sonoma and Napa.
Naturally you’ll have to become a member or befriend a winemaker to get a game at Mayacama but persevere and you’re in for a treat. With a Tuscan styled clubhouse that stands on elevated ground and a Jack Nicklaus walking-only course, Mayacama is more reminiscent of a classy Italian country club than an American golf club.
With a trusty caddy by your side and a Master of Wine as your golfing partner to help you navigate your way round the course and then through the underground wine cave, perhaps Mayacama is not a golf club for the teetotaller?
