Best Country Clubs In and Around Danville

The picturesque San Ramon Valley has stunning scenery, extraordinary real estate, and endless recreational activities. Discerning homebuyers quickly discover that the best combination of all three is at the heart of this idyllic East Bay landscape in the sought-after Town of Danville and its equally impressive neighboring communities of Alamo, Blackhawk, and Diablo. More specifically, the region's active, high-end lifestyle is best experienced at one of the region's four country clubs.

Whether an avid golfer, a tennis or fitness enthusiast, or someone who enjoys fine dining or a family-centered lifestyle, the country clubs in and around Danville provide unparalleled amenities and services.

Bay Club Crow Canyon offers families and individuals a sophisticated and active lifestyle as part of the esteemed Bay Club Network, which includes 26 clubs on ten campuses across the Bay Area, Los Angeles, San Diego, and the Pacific Northwest. Set along Danville's southern boundary amidst the scenic backdrop of Mt. Diablo and within the Crow Canyon Country Club Estate development, this club embodies luxury and leisure. The 2023 acquisition of the club by The Bay Club Company promises an extensive expansion of the club facilities.

The 18-hole golf course provides a challenging, enjoyable experience for golfers of all skill levels. The meticulously maintained greens and fairways offer breathtaking views and a rewarding game. Fans of racket sports will appreciate the club's 12 lighted tennis courts and four pickleball courts. The club also provides comprehensive programs, including private lessons, group clinics, and competitive leagues.

Members also enjoy a state-of-the-art fitness center, including access to personal trainers and group classes, an aquatics area, and family-centered programming with summer camps, swim lessons, and sports clinics. Crow Canyon also boasts a celebrated culinary team that supports the club's dining options and special events.

Blackhawk Country Club, renowned for its elegance and exclusivity, spans two distinct settings: Lakeside and the Falls. Both clubs are located within the celebrated Blackhawk planned community, which includes six gated luxury neighborhoods. The main attractions, of course, are the dual 18-hole golf courses. The Lakeside Course is known for its scenic, shifting terrain and dramatic island green closing hole. In contrast, the shorter Falls Course is a fair, fun challenge with five lakes in play. The club's practice range and pro shops are recognized as among the best in the country.

In addition to its stunning golf facilities, Blackhawk hosts many other pursuits, including the highly lauded racquet sports program, which boasts 18 lighted tennis courts, eight pickleball courts, and two indoor racquet courts. The club's primary sports facility also features a competition swimming and diving pool and extensive wellness amenities.

Blackhawks social scene centers around the Lakeside's 40,000 square foot clubhouse. Here, members can indulge in three unique dining experiences. The Falls Clubhouse offers a more casual setting for those seeking less formal, family-friendly atmosphere meals or special events.

Steeped in history and tradition, Diablo Country Club is one of the East Bay region's oldest and most prestigious clubs. Located in the serene community of Diablo, immediately northeast of Danville, this club combines timeless elegance with modern amenities. The stunning 18-hole golf course, originally designed by Jack Neville and William Watson, features a classic parkland layout and a memorable golfing experience. The course's natural beauty and strategic design, which recently emerged from an award-winning restoration, have earned it a reputation as one of the finest in Northern California and among the top courses in California.

Along with its legendary golf course, Diablo Country Club has tennis and Pickleball courts, a Bocce Ball arena, a heated six-lane pool, and expansive fitness and wellness facilities that offer boot camp, group training, and yoga sessions. The club's Georgian-style clubhouse, nearing the end of a $22 million makeover, hosts several dining venues, including the Red Horse Tavern and the Diablo Pub, all overseen by a world-class culinary team.

Alamo's Round Hill Country Club is celebrated for its warm, welcoming atmosphere and top-notch amenities. A genuine neighborhood club, Round Hill has long been an ideal setting for families and individuals seeking a balanced blend of low-key relaxation and high-energy activity. The 18-hole golf course opened in 1960 and provides a picturesque and challenging experience. Stunning views of the surrounding hills complement the course's lush fairways and well-manicured greens.

Round Hill's tennis program and facilities are just as impressive, if not more so. Among the Bay Area's most highly respected and vibrant tennis clubs, Round Hill has 14 championship tennis courts, four pickleball courts, a 4,000-square-foot tennis clubhouse, and a nearly 3,000-square-foot outdoor viewing deck. Fiercely competitive leagues and an active social scene raise the club's racquet-sport profile.

Additional Round Hill Country Club amenities include an outstanding food and beverage experience in the club's main dining room and more casual lounge area, four swimming pools, including an eight-lane competition pool, and a fitness and wellness program with an eight-member team of trainers, instructors, and a massage therapist supporting health-conscience members and their families.
