But I found a secret back entrance to the Stanford University Golf Course. To get there, turn off of Alpine Road onto Stowe Ln, a rustic little cul-de-sac, and from there take Stowe Ct, which isn't on maps and looks even less like an official street, although it does have a sign, and you'll find a gap in the fence. It's a deliberate gap, not just a hole, and there isn't even a sign telling you to keep out. Just walk or ride right in.

There's lots of well-paved paths through nice scenery with enough ups and downs to give you a workout. You can eventually work your way over to the main gate on Junipero Serra/Foothill.

I was a chilly morning, and the only people I saw were a totally indifferent groundskeeper and a few golfers who waved as they went by in their cart.

Ssshhh...
