Buckingham Golf & Country Club

About Buckingham Golf & Country Club

Tucked away in the rolling hills of Lake County wine country, this public track offers a refreshing escape from the crowded Bay Area courses just two hours south. The layout takes full advantage of the natural terrain around Clear Lake, with several holes offering glimpses of California's largest natural freshwater lake through the oak-studded landscape. What sets Buckingham apart is its unpretentious, old-school vibe – you can walk the course without restriction, the pace of play moves along nicely, and the greens fees won't require a second mortgage. The course condition punches well above its weight class for a smaller public facility, and the 4.3 Google rating reflects golfers who appreciate solid fundamentals over flashy amenities. This isn't a destination resort experience, but rather an honest test of golf in a genuinely scenic setting where you're more likely to encounter deer than slow-playing foursomes. If you're exploring Napa's northern neighbor or need a good walk in wine country that doesn't involve tasting rooms, Buckingham delivers exactly what a regional public course should: enjoyable golf at a fair price.
