GOLF SEASON
Golfing opportunities throughout Sonoma County come easy and are as diverse as the hills, valleys and coastline you will find here.
Golf Season
There’s a historic shady redwoods course, two ocean-buffeted Scottish-style link courses, friendlier nine-hole layouts and a selection of well-manicured, challenging terrain with lakes, elevation changes and putting tests.
All that Jazz
All around Sonoma County’s wine region, through all the seasons, there’s plenty of great jazz to enjoy, highlighted by each summer’s Healdsburg Jazz Festival, a true world-class assemblage of jazz greats.
