The Villages Golf & Country Club, a 55+ leisure living community, is situated in the beautiful Evergreen foothills of San Jose, California. Although The Villages is a private, secluded, gated community, it is part of the exciting San Francisco Bay Area in the tenth largest city in the United States: San Jose—Capital of Silicon Valley. Established on the site of a former hillside vineyard and winery, the 2,309 condominiums and 227 single-family homes nestle into 1,200 acres of lush landscaping and sparkling lakes set against a picture-perfect background of natural beauty. The focal point of The Villages is the spectacular championship golf course with its Pro Shop and elegant Clubhouse and restaurant, plus a leisure Bistro & Bar/Outdoor Patio dining experience. In addition to the golf courses, there are four swimming pools and spas, six tennis courts and a fitness center. But the fun doesn’t stop there, The Villages has something for every one of its 4,000 residents. There are more than 60 clubs and organizations, a full calendar of activities, fine arts, personal gardening plots, stables, bocce courts and numerous facilities. Near shopping, public transportation and the Bay Area’s cultural community, The Villages has been rated among the top 20 senior communities (for persons aged 55 and older) in the United States by New Choices for Retirement Living Magazine.
