Fairways & Greens In The Bay Area

Background

The Whiskey Golf Club was founded in 2020 at Sunken Gardens Golf Course in Sunnyvale, CA. Like Silicon Valley, our groups is a veritable melting pot of golf lovers. We’re long time locals and transplants, aged in our 20’s - 70’s, enjoying our time together honoring past traditions and creating new ones. While Sunken Gardens is our home course, members connect weekly throughout the year from the Bay Area to Texas. Good company…good food…good music…good whiskey….good golf.

We faithfully honor and tribute our fallen brother David Satterfield who passed away in 2024. Our final tournament of every year is the Sats Memorial Cup, held at Sunken Gardens. where 50+ golfers on 2 separate teams face each other to win the Sats Memorial Cup which stands permanently at the Gold Rush Saloon and Old Greenwood BBQ in Sunken Gardens.
