Looking to reconnect with your inner self and with Nature? A visit to Hidden Villa should help.

The campsite hostel provides quiet and comfortable quarters well-suited to introspection and solitude, a short distance from Silicon Valley. Note that you can check in only between 4p and 9:30p, but visitors can drop by anytime between 8a to noon and 4p to 9:30p. Accomodation available from $19. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Military golf |
1080 Lockhead Martin Way Onizuki Air Station San Jose and Silicon Valley, CA 94089 United States +1 650 603 8026 |
If you spot a GI, or other military personnel golfing, get used to it. This field golf course has 18 holes, and you will get to see lakes and other water hazards here. Rental carts are available for those who just decided to tee off after checking the environs. Metal spikes are tolerated but not encouraged. Head to this Santa Clara county golf course for some real challenge. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Golf in style |
3000 Alexis Drive San Jose and Silicon Valley, CA 94304 United States +1 650 948 1800 / +1 650 917 5101 (Private Tournaments) http://www.pahgcc.com/ |
This country club is more like a resort, where time can be spent idling in the picturesque surroundings, or gorging on delicacies at the dining area. Another option would be to frolic in the swimming pool. But amidst all recreation, serious golfers do fight it out. The sloping course can be fun for onlookers, as frustration becomes evident during golf season. Review © 2007, Wcities |
