Spring Valley Golf Course
Overview
Spring Valley Golf Course has been a Milpitas institution since 1956. Set in a quiet valley beneath the East Foothills near Ed Levin County Park, the course offers a traditional, tree-lined layout with creeks crossing several holes and a relaxed, old-school golf atmosphere. It's flatter and friendlier than its hillside neighbor Summitpointe, making it a favorite for everyday rounds, seniors, and golfers who like to walk.
📜 History
Family-operated for decades since opening in 1956, Spring Valley is one of the longest continuously running public courses in Santa Clara County.
