Encinitas, CA
Wine Valley Golf Club in Walla Walla, Washington, is a Dan Hixson design that offers a truly strategic and engaging golf experience. Hixson's design philosophy for Wine Valley embraced the natural contours of the land, creating a links-style course with firm and fast conditions. The course is characterized by its expansive fairways that offer multiple lines of play and heavily contoured greens that demand creativity and precision in putting. The 18th hole, a 585-yard par-5, is a signature hole, played from the highest point on the course and offering panoramic views of the surrounding wine country. The opening hole, a slightly downhill par-4 dogleg right, immediately introduces golfers to the dramatic bunker styles. Wine Valley is notable for its lack of trees, relying instead on subtle undulations and strategic bunkering to defend the course. It has been recognized as one of the best courses in the state, offering endless options on how to approach each hole and a unique, memorable golfing experience in a stunning vineyard setting.
