Sharon Heights Golf & Country Club has been an active part of the Menlo Park community for more than 60 years. Originally designed in 1962 by renowned architect Jack Fleming (a protégé of Alister MacKenzie), the course was adjusted by several architects through the years prior to a major renovation conducted in 2023. The renovation was carried out by architect Todd Eckenrode and Origins Golf Design and features an improved layout and enhanced commitment to sustainability. Since reopening in 2024, the course has garnered multiple renovation-of-the-year awards. The design intentionally showcases the beauty of the region with natural meadows, seasonal creeks and fairways lined with native California oak and sycamore trees.
