California Golf Courses by County

California has 669 named golf courses distributed across the state's 53 counties, according to data from the federal USGS GNIS gazetteer. This county-level view allows golfers and researchers to see how courses are spread geographically throughout the state.

County designation represents the most reliable locality information in this dataset. The nearest-city labels, which are derived from the underlying data, can be inaccurate by several miles, particularly for courses located in rural areas. Those seeking precise locations should refer to county boundaries as the primary geographic reference.

Like other sections of the directory, the GNIS data does not include course fees, access policies, or layout information. Golfers should consult individual course websites for details on pricing, membership requirements, hole configurations, and other operational specifics.

Directory note. Partial, named-feature data from USGS GNIS (2021 vintage) — no fees, access or layout. County is the most reliable locality; the nearest-city label is derived.
