Overview: Poplar Creek Golf Course is a historic and charm-filled "Golden Age" masterpiece located in the heart of San Mateo. Designed by the legendary team of George C. Thomas Jr. and Billy Bell and opened in 1933, the course is a traditional parkland layout characterized by its narrow, tree-lined fairways and mature stands of landscaping. The course meanders through a landscape of gentle elevation changes and natural topography, providing a quiet and professionally-managed round that preserves a nostalgic "oasis-like" atmosphere. Characterized by its technical green complexes and its "old-school" routing, Poplar Creek provides a pure and engaging golf experience that has been a cornerstone of the community for over ninety years.
Did You Know? George C. Thomas Jr. was the architect behind several California classics, including Riviera and Los Angeles CC; his work at Poplar Creek reflects his commitment to strategic depth and natural aesthetics, and the course remains a favorite for generations of local golfers seeking a high-quality competitive venue in a relaxed setting.
