For over 45 years San Jose Municipal Golf Course has been called home to thousands of south bay golfers. With a tremendous location near the major freeways of 101,880, & 280 this hangout is easy to get to. A straight forward layout with open fairways on flat terrain offers a pleasant experience for golfers of all abilities. It’s the perfect course if you like to walk. We have recently renovated all 18 greens, added new trees to increase strategies and the championship yardage has been increased with construction of several new tee boxes. From the tips “the muni” plays well over 6700 yards. Muni is not the punishing round featured at some of the newly designed courses (that’s a relief) and because of that San Jose Municipal Golf Course is sure to provide an enjoyable but still challenging day of golf.

Winchester Mystery House
Winchester Mystery House
Historical landmark
8 mi
Winchester Mystery House™ is an extravagant maze of Victorian craftsmanship – marvelous, baffling, and eerily eccentric, to say the least. Tour guides must warn people not to stray from the group or they could be lost for hours! Countless questions come to mind as you wander through the mansion – such as, what was Mrs. Winchester thinking when she had a staircase built that descends seven steps and then rises eleven? Some of the architectural oddities may have practical explanations. For example, the Switchback Staircase, which has seven flights with forty four steps, rises only about nine feet, since each step is just two inches high. Mrs. Winchester arthritis was quite severe in her later years, and the stairway may have been designed to accommodate her disability.
