The club's 1996 permit required that 60% of the golf rounds played be reserved for the general public, but the Club defines "general public" as including guests of members. In the resulting dispute with the county planning commission, the club agreed to create a Youth Golf Foundation, to pay for underprivileged youths to learn the game of golf at CordeValle or elsewhere. In exchange, the planning commission agreed to waive the requirement for 60% public play.[6]

Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the House, owns approximately $1,000,000 worth of the club.[7]

From 2010 to 2013, CordeValle hosted the Frys.com Open on the PGA Tour; in October 2013 it was the first event of the wraparound 2014 season. The tournament was previously conducted at Greyhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale, Arizona, and moved to Silverado Country Club in Napa in October 2014.[8]

Recent events at CordeValle include the PGA Cup in 2015 and the U.S. Women's Open in 2016.[9][10]
