San Geronimo GC isn't right IN San Rafael, but I'm too lazy to do a separate page on the tiny Marin town of San Geronimo. We're close enough, anyway...

San Geronimo is a fairly challenging (rating/slope 73.8/135 from tourney tees) 18 hole golf course nestled in a small heavily wooded valley between San Rafael and the coast. When I play here, I feel as if I am on vacation. I will never take for granted that this beautiful golf course is in my backyard.

This is my teenage son in this picture. He has been playing since he was 7 years old and he has a golf swing to die for. Yesterday, he pounded a 300 yard drive. That's my boy!

Equipment: Golf clubs would be nice
