Ryder Cup Format with our 2 groups Photo submitted by Matthew6624674 on 11/05/2012
The course is in bad condition
The course was in very bad condition with dead spots all over the fairways and the rough was not trimmed at all. There is also construction going on around every single hole. While I was trying to hit a chip shot a backhoe drove right in front of me and started dumping sand in the bunkers.
Tee box renovation
Looks like the new tee boxes are going to make a huge difference.
Great course. Would recommend
This a good course with views of the bay. Pretty windy, and has some challenging holes. Pretty fast greens. I would give it a better rating if they could fix their tee boxes. Tee boxes were not in good condition and off balance.
Pace of play needs improvement
The place of play at this course has become painfully slow for the weekend. My group only reached comlpeted 12 holes after 4hrs of play; we ended up leaving by the 13th tee.
Contributing issues:
-No starter that day - singles, doubles were just going out outside of their tee times.
-Tee times are 8mins apart. This feels pretty greedy, given the steep increase to fees.
-No marshalls - not a single marshall observed the whole time.
Despite increasing green fees dramatically, and food and bev costing significantly more, management has not done nothing to address to outrageously slow pace of play on the weekends.
Do not attempt to play here after 10:30am on the weekend; itll be a 5.5-6.5 hr round.
Lots of construction
Lots of tee box construction. At least 5 tee boxes closed and had to tee off from the forward tees. Although I shot a great round, doesn’t seem right to post due to playing forward a lot. Golfnow should post something to let customers know if it’s worth purchasing
Great location and value, solid conditions.
From the Central Valley and had been wanting to try this course. Buddy from out of state was in the Bay Area for a few days so we went on a weekday. Couldn’t pick a more gorgeous location for a course. Staff was nice, the hotdog at the turn was very tasty. Bummed that their range is closed before 11, really wanted to hit some balls before the round. Tee boxes were in 6/10 shape, greens were in 10/10 shape. Struggled to find level ground on some tee boxes. Wish there was a restroom somewhere on the front 9 other than the clubhouse.
