Experience Merced Golf & Country Club

The Merced Golf & Country Club (MGCC) is a private, member owned golf club that was established in 1926. The 18 hole par 72 course designed by Bob Baldock offers its members a challenge on a daily basis. Rolling terrain, abundance of trees, lakes and streams add to the beauty and challenges of Baldock's design.

Welcome to Merced Golf & Country Club YOU DON’T JUST JOIN, YOU BELONG HERE

Greetings!

You have been personally recommended for membership at Merced Golf & Country Club.

The most successful private clubs are those built around the foundation of enduring relationships and social camaraderie between friends and associates. With that core philosophy in mind, we are embarking on a very specific initiative that allows our members to identify individuals whom they feel will properly embrace the culture and traditions of our club and to personally invite them to join. At Merced Golf & Country Club, we understand the importance of personal connections and a sense of community. For years, we've provided a safe, secure, and welcoming environment that fosters lasting relationships and a strong social atmosphere. We believe this unique sense of belonging will resonate with you and your family, making Merced Golf & Country Club the perfect place to connect, unwind, and grow together. We offer our members an 18 hole championship course, practice facilities, swimming pool, dining and active social programming which makes for their own private retreat! Choosing to become part of our club family is a decision that will lead to a lifetime of cherished memories and enduring friendships. Our “ Merced Golf & Country Club Centennial Initiative ” allows you to experience our extraordinary club without the payment of an up-front initiation by simply committing to a Preview Membership Term for 12 consecutive months (applicable dues and charges will apply). While you will have the opportunity to continue your membership beyond the preview term by paying the initiation fee payment in full, we want to give you compelling reasons to secure your membership earlier. If you secure your membership within the first 60 days of the Preview Term or by August 31, 2026, whichever occurs first, you may pay your initiation fee with a convenient payment plan and monthly credits to your club account based on the category of membership in which you are approved. Included within this communication, you will find all the information you will need to begin the process of joining our private club family. If you would like to accept this invitation, please complete, and return the Application for Membership and Preview Relationship Agreement to the club office. If you have any questions or if you would like to set up a private tour of our club facilities, please contact one of our management team at (540) 433-2659. We look forward to welcoming you to into our club family.

Sincerely,

Board of Directors Merced Golf & Country Club

633 North Golf Road  Merced, CA 95340  (209) 722-6268

Step onto the grounds of Merced Golf & Country Club and you’ll feel it: the quiet pride of a place that’s been thoughtfully shaped by nearly a century of tradition. Founded in 1926 and member-owned ever since, MGCC isn’t just a golf club. It’s where generations have come to play, to gather, and to be part of something that feels less like a facility and more like home. With tree-lined fairways, open skies, and a pace that encourages connection, this is a place where people know your name and your favorite hole. Life here isn’t about chasing status or checking boxes. It’s about community. It’s the kind of place where your kids learn to swing a club on the same greens where you once did, where Saturday mornings turn into family rituals, and where the clubhouse buzzes with stories and laughter long after the sun dips below the trees. Whether you’re drawn to championship-level golf, social traditions, or simply the serenity of the setting, MGCC invites you to be part of something lasting. This is Where You Belong YOUR SEARCH IS OVER

There’s something about Merced Golf & Country Club that seasoned golfers notice right away. Maybe it’s the way the fairways hold their lines, or how the greens read true from any angle. Maybe it’s the quiet confidence that comes from hosting U.S.G.A., N.C.G.A., and PGA of America events for generations. But for members, the real difference isn’t just in the course, it’s in the rhythm of life here. Every round brings something new, yet always feels familiar. Whether you’re chasing a low score or just chasing the sunset, MGCC offers a place to play your way. The Men’s Tournament Series brings out the competitors, while the 18-Hole Ladies Division and Nine Tee Niners turn golf into a tradition of their own. From early-morning tee times to post-round stories shared under wide California skies, this course doesn’t just meet championship standards, it quietly redefines what a great round should feel like. Experience the Difference THE COURSE IS CALLING YOU

The dining experience at the club offers a selection of delicious burgers and sandwiches. From classic choices like the Chicken Sandwich and Hamburger to unique creations like the Long Drive and Cali Burger, there’s something for everyone. Accompanied by your choice of sides, such as fries, potato salad, or a small salad, these mouthwatering options are sure to satisfy your cravings. Beyond the food, it’s the feeling that sets this place apart. Friends gather after a round to swap stories over cocktails. Families celebrate milestones in a space that feels comfortable and personal. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or settling in for a long lunch with friends, the atmosphere is relaxed, welcoming, and just the right amount of lively. A Club for Everyone WE’RE MORE THAN GREAT GOLF
