About Sequoyah Country Club

Sequoyah Country Club: Aerial View from the 10th Fairway Founded in 1913, Sequoyah Country Club is nestled among Monterey pines and redwoods in the hills of Oakland, California. Located outside the chilling fog band that comes off the San Francisco Bay, Sequoyah has earned the title among golfers as the best kept secret in the Bay Area.

The golf course is a challenging par 70 for men and par 72 for women. Rolling hills, sloping fairways and lightning fast greens demand the best of every golfer while providing sweeping vistas and a luxurious evergreen backdrop.

The exquisite Spanish style clubhouse, convivial staff and loyal and friendly membership provide a precious retreat from the hustle of commerce and urban life -- all accessible within minutes from most areas of the greater East Bay.

A welcome to the Sequoyah website from club president Reginald Griggs. One need only visit and play Sequoyah to appreciate the unrivaled beauty and relaxing solitude so rare to find in any metropolis.

As one of the oldest and most venerated golf courses in Northern California, Sequoyah has a rich and storied history. See how the golf course has evolved at the Course History page. The Oakland Open was played at Sequoyah in the late 30's and early 40's, with professionals such as Sam Snead, Ben Hogan, Byron Nelson and Jimmy Demaret adding to the local lore.

The golf course at Sequoyah is as difficult to master as it is verdant and beautiful, with hilly terrain and small, sloping greens to challenge the most skilled golfer. With no parallel fairways and no two holes alike, Sequoyah is truly a joy to experience.

The glorious Sequoyah clubhouse, with its high beam ceilings and antique charm, provides an aura of grand elegance for club members and guests. Exquisite dining is offered, prepared by culinary experts and served by an attentive staff.

Banquets, weddings and other social and special events are held in a number of private rooms or the large Terrace Room with a capacity for 300 guests.

Tournaments are held throughout the playing year, including the men's and women's Invitational and Open tournaments, senior home and away events, member guest events, junior events, etc. Add swimming and tennis and Sequoyah presents a complete recreational package.

Guests from other clubs are always welcome at Sequoyah, with green fees among the lowest of any private club in the Bay Area. For those interested, proprietary, social and young executive membership are often available due to retiring or otherwise transitory members.

'Chief' Sequoyah

"Chief" Sequoyah is credited with inventing the syllabary or written language of the Cherokee Nation. Born in 1770, Sequoyah was a skilled silversmith before serving as a soldier in the War of 1812. He was always fascinated with the white people's ability to communicate by making marks on paper, and so, beginning in 1809, he set out to devise a written language for his people. Within several months of Sequoyah’s unveiling of his symbolic system, a substantial number of people in the Cherokee Nation reportedly were able to read and write in their own language. His is the only known instance of an individual creating a totally new system of writing.
