The Bay Area Pinseekers Golf Club is one of the largest and most active associate clubs of the NCGA. We're unique in that we don't claim a home course. Our group of avid golfers prefers the flexibility to play our tournaments at a wealth of amazing golf courses in the San Francisco Bay Area. We are a tournament playing club and host handicapped events during the week twice each month. We play a wide variety of courses through out the year, including the some of The Bay Area's marquee, private courses. We have reached our maximum at 110 active members and currently have a wait list for new membership. For 2026, we are requiring participation in at least 6 tournaments to maintain membership.
While we're always excited to hear from golfers interested in joining us, we've intentionally limited membership in the club to 110 golfers. This isn't an attempt to create "exclusivity". It's simply the number that allows us to most effectively manage our tournament schedule. If you'd like to be considered for membership as space becomes available, please fill out the application through the link below. WE CURRENTLY HAVE A WAIT LIST.
Please use our WEBSITE throughout the year to keep informed of club events, tournaments, and news. The website allows members to sign up for events directly through the site and more.

Designed by renowned golf course architect William Park Bell Jr. in 1937, Tilden Park Golf Course is nestled into the natural setting of the Tilden Regional Park, in the scenic Berkeley Hills. Our demanding 18-hole championship course measures 6,294 yards from the back tees and features tree-lined fairways and well-guarded greens. Our signature sixteenth hole is a challenging but beautiful 206-yard par 3 that overlooks the entire golf course and plays from an elevated tee box to an elevated green protected by two bunkers that border each side.

We created a flowing sequence of unique and memorable holes that add up to an unforgettable golfing experience. Hole #18 stands out as one of the most strategic and dramatic closing holes in the Bay Area. Happy Valley Creek meanders across the Par 5 no less than three times to set up the hole. Nestled in the valley floor with large oak trees framing the vista, players will need to navigate the hole with three accurate shots to avoid the creek and the strategically placed bunkers to reach the large rolling green. This hole along with #17 can prove to be round killers. A great track though.

Our 18-holes of semi-private championship golf offer a variety of challenges for players of all skill levels. The layout features a unique blend of golf holes consisting of six par fives, six par fours and six par threes that meander through vineyards sharing the property with many species of birds, rabbits, squirrels, foxes, and our bobcat family on #16.

The Poppy Ridge redesign plans include the creation of a new 18-hole course, a nine-hole composite course with a few new holes and various improvements to its practice areas including the driving range, which is again open for members and public use. The new 18-hole course will feature three different types of grasses. On the greens complexes themselves, those will be seeded with a new variety of Bentgrass. The tees, fairways and greens-surrounding areas will all be Santa Ana Bermuda grass, which is sod that has been installed. "We think the Bermuda will love this climate," architect Jay Blasi explained. "The Bermuda loves the heat and requires less water."The third and final type of grass will be a hydro-seeded Fescue mix. That grass will be featured in the out-of-play areas. Blasi's previous work includes U.S. Open venue Chambers Bay in Washington and the recently renovated historic Golden Gate Park Golf Course in San Francisco.
