Thinking About Living in Meadow Club?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Meadow Club and the surrounding Napa / Sonoma (Wine Country + North Bay) golf market.
Meadow Club holds a specific architectural distinction: it was the first American golf course designed by Alister MacKenzie (1927), predating his more famous later work, and was restored to his original design intent in a 1998-2005 project led by golf architect Michael DeVries. It sits in a high mountain meadow in Fairfax, Marin County, about 30 minutes north of San Francisco.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Meadow Club is private and accessible only to members and their guests. No official published initiation fee or dues schedule was found; a third-party membership-cost aggregator reports a roughly $300,000 initiation fee, which should be treated as directional rather than confirmed.
