Description
If Shangri La was a private club, it might be the Palo Alto Hills Golf & Country Club. Nestled next to the Arastradero Open Space Preserve high in the foothills above Silicon Valley, the facility offers serenity, panoramic views and topnotch services. And, although this is one of the most prestigious private clubs in the United States, you don’t have to be a member to host a special event here.
Your experience begins under the awning in front of the clubhouse entrance, where you turn around to take in the sweeping view of San Francisco Bay and the rolling East Bay hills, spanning from Mission Peak to Mount Diablo. Then, as you step through the etched-glass front doors and into the lobby, you start to fully appreciate the refined décor, which includes a cherrywood fireplace, genteel couches and a luxuriously oversized bouquet of fresh flowers. Much effort (and expense) has gone into creating this elegant setting, so it’s not surprising that the clubhouse has been featured in many interior design publications.
Across the lobby, a wide set of stairs leads to the back doors and out to the landscaped terrace, adjacent to the golf course. This is an ideal setting for a ceremony and cocktails, with a view as breathtaking as the one at the Club’s entrance: Majestic redwoods, tall pines, and oaks border the fairways (redesigned in 1999 by famed architect Robert Muir Graves). A tiered waterfall cascades over boulders at the nearby 18th green (a fabulous backdrop for wedding photos). And, the verdant slope of the golf course seems to rise all the way up to the grassy hilltops of Windy Hill Open Space Preserve to the west.
Just off the Terrace is the Ballroom, a grand space that manages to feel intimate, despite having its own marble-topped bar and a large built-in dance floor. Windows running the length of one wall showcase the golf course, waterfall and hillsides, while glass doors enable guests to flow easily from the Ballroom to the Terrace. For smaller gatherings, reserve the sophisticated Members Dining Room, whose warm cherrywood walls are crisscrossed with a distinctive pattern of brass inlay. In the evening, add a romantic glow with candles on the tables, or simply enjoy the view, a blanket of city lights sparkling against the night sky.
Palo Alto Hills’ kitchen is headed up by award-winning Executive Chef, Orlin Marcus, previously the Chef de Cuisine at the renowned Beach and Tennis Club in Pebble Beach.
Whether he and his culinary team are creating a multi-course meal for a black tie gala or simple grilled dishes for a casual poolside barbecue, all the food is prepared from scratch, using only the finest and freshest ingredients.
Impeccable service is the top priority here, and you’ll be impressed with the entire staff, from the valet parking attendants to the professional event coordinator, who will help you personalize your festivities. Shangri-La is a mythical place, but you’ll find the scenery and wonderful amenities of this hillside paradise very real.
