About 1Club

Right in the heart of Vernon Valley, 1Club is redefining what it means to play and connect through park golf. Our focus is simple: bringing people together for experiences that let you play your way. Add in our carefully curated sound system pumping the perfect playlist, and every game feels like an event.

Our course flows naturally with the land–a smart design that lets Vernon Valley do what it does best: look amazing while you play. The music ties it all together, creating an atmosphere that’s part game, part social experience.

Think of it as your new favorite way to spend time outdoors, connect with people, and maybe discover that park golf is way more fun than you expected.
