Canyon Lakes Golf Course & Brewery

Canyon Lakes Golf Course & Brewery is an 18-hole, par-72 daily-fee course in San Ramon, designed by Ted Robinson Sr. and opened in 1986 as the East Bay's first upscale daily-fee course. Set into the hills overlooking the San Ramon Valley, it measures about 6,373 yards from the back tees, with water, elevation changes and Robinson's trademark risk-reward design.

Under newer ownership the club has rebranded around an on-site craft brewery — billed as the first 18-hole golf course and craft brewery in the country — with 18 house taps and a scratch-made restaurant alongside a renovated clubhouse. The mix of valley views, a challenging layout and the brewery makes it a popular spot for both rounds and post-round gatherings.

Tee times can be booked online through GolfNow. Green fees vary by day and time; because the course has shifted toward a members-plus-public model under new ownership, it is worth checking current public-play availability and pricing directly with the course.
