The course is credited to Lawrence M. Hughes (1957), and the Oakland Tribune of 2 February 1959 wrote of “the new Marin Country Club.” Whether play began in 1958 or 1959 is still to be confirmed.[1][2]

Mind the name. In the mid-1950s the papers’ “Marin Country Club near Fairfax” was the Marin Town and Country Club resort, and the Marin Golf & Country Club of San Rafael (1908–1941) was a different club again. Results from the Novato club are not counted as San Rafael history on this site.[1][3]
