Guide to The Silver Creek Valley Country Club Area

The Silver Creek Valley Country Club area has a long name, but it quickly takes your breath away.

Calling it “just a golf course” would almost be degrading. It’s much more than that, although the 18-hole course design is a highlight of the club. The Silver Creek Valley Country Club is more of a resort, in the backyard of the Silver Creek community.

The club is also a place to work on your tennis volley, sample some of the best wines in Santa Clara, and dance the night away at invite-only events.

This article will talk about the homes in this area first, then the country club amenities.

A mid-sized home in the area

They’re often complete with roundabout-style driveways, fountains, and swimming pools. You’ll often get increased plot size with these homes, which means more space between you and your neighbors.
