Poppy Ridge Golf Course occupies 65 hectares of rolling terrain in Livermore Valley wine country, 65 kilometres (40 miles) east of San Francisco. The Northern California Golf Association opened the facility in 1996 as the first allied golf association in the United States to own and operate two courses, pairing it with Poppy Hills Golf Course on the Monterey Peninsula. A complete reconstruction by architect Jay Blasi produced an entirely new 18-hole layout that reopened in May 2025.

The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
