Six members of the Bay Area Golf Club pose for a photo on a sunny day at a local driving range. There are three golf bags standing in front of the club members.

Bay Area Golf Club

Golf is the networking language of the professional world. Golf Club is here to teach members that language.

The Bay Area Golf Club allows participants to connect and network with each other and with industry professionals, all while enjoying a game of golf together. The medium of a leisurely and social game is intended to facilitate conversations between participants more comfortably and naturally than a more formal, structured networking session would. 

While previous experience golfing is a bonus, the club also partakes in group lessons and driving-range practice to help its few dozen members build their golfing skills. The club welcomes members at all skill levels and hosts intro sessions with an LPGA professional coach to teach beginners the game.

That’s the great thing about golf. You can talk about bigger topics because you have downtime. Two people waiting for someone to hit the ball can have a nice, deep conversation. Golf paves the way for those conversations
