The Villages Golf and Country Club

What The Villages Golf and Country Club does

The Villages Golf and Country Club is a private, member-owned 55+ active adult residential community and country club located on a 1,200-acre gated site at 5000 Cribari Lane in San Jose, California. The community comprises 2,536 housing units (2,309 condominiums and 227 single-family homes) across 12 villages, housing approximately 4,000 residents, with homes priced between $375,000 and the $900,000s. It operates as a homeowners association in which membership in the country club is automatic upon home purchase and is funded primarily by all-inclusive monthly dues covering utilities (water, gas, electricity), cable TV, insurance, landscaping, maintenance, and 24/7 public safety.

The community's core amenity stack centers on an 18-hole, 72-par championship golf course with five tee options and a 9-hole par-3 executive course (which received a $2 million bunker renovation in 2025), complemented by four temperature-controlled pools, six USTA tennis courts, four pickleball courts, two bocce courts, two indoor table tennis courts, a 2,800-square-foot fitness center, four community centers, a library, stables with seven bridle paths, hiking trails across 550 acres of open space, community gardens, and an RV lot. Dining and event revenue flow through the Clubhouse Restaurant, Bistro Bar & Grille, and a banquet hall accommodating 25 to 240+ guests, with four guest rooms available at $120-$130/night and a capped 100-cardholder Players Card program at $3,500/year that provides non-resident golf access. Social programming spans 60+ chartered clubs and 40+ informal social groups.

The business is governed by an Association Board and a Homeowners Board, with no parent company, no outside institutional investors, and no venture or growth-equity funding disclosed. In January 2025 the community received a Firewise USA Certificate of Recognition, formalizing partnerships with CAL FIRE, the Santa Clara County FireSafe Council, and the City of San Jose Fire Department. Distribution runs through on-site sales and six approved realtor partners (Compass, Keller Williams Silicon Valley, EQ1 Real Estate, The Villages Realty, Jabez Realty, First Choice Brokers), supplemented by The Villager community newspaper and a corporate website.
