Thinking About Living in Sonoma Golf Club?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Sonoma Golf Club and the surrounding Napa / Sonoma (Wine Country + North Bay) golf market.
Sonoma Golf Club sits on 177 rolling, oak-studded acres in the town of Sonoma, designed in 1928 by Sam Whiting of San Francisco's Olympic Club and stretching over 7,100 championship yards. Its defining characteristic in this market is its access structure: it functions simultaneously as a members-only private club and as the golf course of the adjacent Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa, with hotel guests granted exclusive access (golf shop, tennis/pickleball, clubhouse grill) during their stay.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Two separate paths lead to the course: club membership (a limited number of invitation-only memberships, Full Golf and Vintner categories, with a reported historical initiation-fee range of $50,000-$150,000 and roughly $1,100/month dues per a current-member account -- not an official published figure) or paying to stay at the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa, whose guests get exclusive access to the course during their stay. Neither path is bundled with, or tied to, homeownership in the surrounding area.

What Buyers Should Verify
- Current initiation fee and dues -- not officially published; reported figures come from a news article citing a member, not the club.
- Whether any residential development near the club has a formal membership relationship -- none found this session.
Notable
- Designed in 1928 by Sam Whiting, the same architect behind The Olympic Club in San Francisco.
- Golf access is split between members and Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa hotel guests -- a genuine hybrid private/resort model rather than either category alone.
