Summer gets a whole lot of love around here. From days spent poolside, courtside, out on the greens, and everywhere in between, there’s no shortage of fun ways to play your summer days away at the Bay Club. But what you may not know is all the fun we have when the sun goes down! In fact, we love a warm summer night just as much as a hot summer day. From sipping wine around a firepit, to playing bocce at sunset, to joining the kids for a poolside movie under the stars, there’s no shortage of ways to enjoy a summer evening around here. For a little inspiration, we collected our 7 favorite ways to spend summer nights. Come see how the fun goes down when the sun goes down!
Raise a Glass at Bay Club Courtside’s Sunset Social
A glass of wine tastes even better when you’re watching the sun go down after a perfect day—or maybe after a far-from-perfect day (the days for which wine was invented). No matter how you’re “wine-ing” down your days, do it with a glass of your favorite summer vintage at Bay Club Courtside’s sunset social on Thursday, August 24 from 6:00 to 8:00 pm.
Toast S’mores + Sip Wine By a Firepit at Bay Club Ross Valley
Nothing says it’s the end of a summer day like a crackling fire and some sweet treats. Set up your own home s’more station around your outdoor firepit, or come gather around one at the Bay Club Ross Valley for our Wine & S’mores Event on Saturday, July 22, from 5:30 to 7:00pm! Bring the kids to watch a movie while mom and dad enjoy a glass of wine and eat s’mores beside the fire.
Watch a Movie Under the Stars
There’s something special about watching your favorite stars on screen—under the summer stars up high. You can set up your own home theater, fight the fog in the city with movie night showings at Dolores Park, Washington Square Park, and Union Square, or come to one of our Bay Club evening movies for kids, hosted throughout the summer at select clubs.
Soiree the Summer Away at Bay Club Santa Clara Everyone loves a good summer shindig. Come enjoy live music, outdoor lounging, and signature cocktails at our Summer Soiree, hosted at Bay Club Santa Clara on Thursday, August 17 from 6:30–8:30 pm. There’s no better way to spend a summer night than with friends!
Pack a Sunset Picnic
Never had an evening picnic? Say hello to the best way to eat outdoors, without the bugs. While many of us have probably only picnicked during daylight (and fought off mosquitos left and right), an evening picnic is the best way to end a summer day. Whether you perch yourselves on a romantic spot for two with a great view, or set up a simple blanket with the kids in the backyard, pack your evening basket with all your favorite foods—and remember a candle so you’re not eating in the dark!
Pair An Afternoon of Golf with a Delicious Dinner at Bay Club Boulder Ridge
We think a good game of golf is made even better when you complete it with a great meal. Join us for Friday Night on the Rocks on Friday, July 21, when we’ll tee-off at 3:30, then enjoy a classic dinner buffet at 6:00.
Go Camping—or Maybe Just Pretend To
While there are plenty of places in California that offer world-class camping, there’s also a whole lot of fun to be had in a simple backyard campout. Pitch a tent, set up some twinkling lights, and disconnect from all your appliances (which also conveniently happen to be inside, just a few yards away, just in case). Whether you’re going off the grid for real, or camping on your lawn with the kids, enjoy the magic of a summer night while snuggling into a sleeping bag.
