Ridgemark Golf & Country Club, Gabilan Golf Course

Ridgemark Golf & Country Club, is a public 36 hole golf facility located in Hollister, California. The Ridgemark facility has two 18-hole golf courses, they are The Diablo and The Gabilan. Ridgemark is less than 40 minutes from both the metropolitan areas and Carmel; 15 minutes from historic San Juan Bautista Mission; 45 minutes south of San Jose; 20 minutes from the Gilroy Outlet Center and adjacent to several world class wineries.

The Gabilan golf course first opened for play in 1974. The course was designed by Richard Bigler.

The Gabilan golf course plays to a maximum distance of 6,721 yards for a par of 72 with a course rating of 72.7 and a slope rating of 126.

Gabilan is the longer of the two courses, with par-3's stretch to about 200 yards. This is their interior course, as it wraps more around homes. Gabilan features wide open fairways.

#11, a par-4 with out of bounds left and hazard to the right off the tee, funnels into a bottleneck green. This is a very nice hole - one of the two most-challenging holes on Gabilan.

On #12, you're hitting over a barranca onto a pretty lengthy par-3 into the prevailing wind.

Gabilan is the more challenging of the two Ridgemark courses, partly because the par-3's stretch out to 200-plus yards
