Two-Day Trip to Brambles

When it comes to unique venues in the United States, Brambles is at the top of the list. Raw and rugged, Brambles embraces a very naturalistic and minimalist approach to their maintenance. Designed by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw and overseen by James Duncan, the course features amazing architecture in a surreal setting north of Napa Valley. You have to see it to believe it.

This event will be a smaller field of 48 players and all participants will be treated to a member-like day. There will be no shotguns, just tee times, and you'll have the ability to soak in all Brambles has to offer for two days. If you want the perfect October getaway to wine country, this is it.

Course Information

Brambles

North of Napa Valley, Brambles opened in 2023 as an ode to golf principles found overseas. Designed by Coore & Crenshaw with associate James Duncan leading the way, the course was carved out of its natural environment and aims to be inclusive of its landscape. It embraces a minimalist style and aims to keep its water useage to a minimum, even using on-site wells to assist with irrigation. Hear more about this mission in Fried Egg Golf's All Grass is Local YouTube video on Brambles, featuring James Duncan and Superintendent Tyler Marcotte.
