The signature hole at San Juan Oaks has easily the most spectacular tee shot on the course. Standing 150 feet above the green, players can see for miles across the fertile San Juan Valley to the mountain range far in the distance. Many of the bunkers visible from the tee are not in play for the average player's drive. The best play is to the right center of the fairway, where a good drive will catch the downhill side of a designed speed shot adding 15 to 20 yards to the drive, leaving a mid to long iron to the green. Players who fly the green on their approach shot will find a forty foot drop into a creek with only two small bunkers to save the most fortunate.

Ruby Hill Golf Club is in the heart of the Livermore Wine Valley on property that was once the original Ruby Hill Winery. The original grape-growing property was founded by John Crellin in 1887, with money made in the oyster trade and was named for the bright red soil its vineyards boast. The winery was eventually abandoned, and in 1989 burned, leaving only a few walls standing.
The land then transferred to the Catholic Church and Wente Vineyards. RHGC’s owner, Jim Ghielmetti, was approached in 1985 by a friend and business partner of Jack Nicklaus’ about building a Club in the Bay Area.
