When Boulder Creek Men’s Club was founded in 1963 with newly-built Boulder Creek Golf and Country Club as its home course, the redwood-lined links on Big Basin Highway were nine holes in length. A landing strip used by out-of-towners to fly in and golf occupied the space where the back nine stands today. Things have changed – the course was lengthened to 18 holes – but much has remained the same, including the venerable men’s club which celebrates its 50-year anniversary next weekend.

Wine lover: Why wine and cheese?

I was recently asked the question, “If you had to give up wine or cheese, which would you choose?” My immediate answer was cheese, of course.

Then I realized that I would never be able to enjoy wine and cheese together! Why do wine and cheese seem to go hand in hand, anyway?
