Shoreline Golf Links at Mountain View

No golf course is perfect, yes some are nicer than others and for various reasons. Ie practice facility’s , course character and layout, conditions/ upkeep .

Shoreline has a very nice and spacious practice facility with a short game area, a very large putting green and a nice chipping and putting green in front of the pro shop. Also a driving range that is nice and just redone.

The course has a great charm about it, being a Trent Jones track you get greens guarded by bunkers , messing with the players depth perception and greens that are decent size, but always long and narrow making the player be strategic on approach shots.

Offering the better golfer a great challenge at 7000 yds from the tips & add in the usual wind 10-15mph and you have yourself a stiff test to post a below par number.

The course has its hands tied as the EPA environmental agency is all over them which prevents them from removing geese, squirrels and many of the things that lead to the usual complaining.

I can tell you that for the prices this course is by far the best deal around . The course is quickly becoming nicer daily as the rain and investment from the city is really showing. The carts are top notch although no gps

Very walkable and is in the best shape I have seen it in two years. Look for this place to continue to improve and this is my opinion but all very factual as well.

You can also try Baylands Country Club I heard they are now accepting new members who can’t afford a real one ,..

Btw the greens are fantastic (almost done healing from oct. 12th 1/2 ) & quite honestly are what really make this course. Hit it in the fairway and you will have a good lie. Come out and play or don’t just an update!

When you go to shoreline you’ll more than likely enjoy your time. Pace of play can be slow at times but not too bad. The greens roll nice. Some bunkers could use more sand but I Definitely enjoy playing here more than moffet or sunnyvale

The green is sanding and golfnow didn’t mention when booking, back 9 doesn’t even have flag and holes!

So, I’ve been playing here since back in high school and I’ve seen it go through its multiple renovations. For its location and price, it’s hard to beat. However, today was inexcusable. I played here off of a Hot Deal, which thankfully included a cart. Pace was great, and, for aerated greens, the front 9 was fine. However, there was NO notice given to me, by the pro shop nor GolfNow, that the greens were aerated. Also, no signs nor notice were given that the back 9 had all of their pins and cups completely removed. Having worked and caddied for two courses, I completely understand maintenance and green aeration. However, there’s no excuse for giving no notice to players that an entire 9 holes is essentially unplayable. No signs, no heads up from a marshal, nor the pro shop. That’s unacceptable. If you’re gonna charge full price for only half the course being playable, the least you can do is let players know. Also, I don’t know why GolfNow didn’t make a notice of it either. Overall, if the cart wasn’t included in the deal, I would have walked off and spoken to management about it. I’m not one for confrontation or giving flak to a course but that’s very poor management. Saving graces were the group I was with and hearing The Doobie Brothers doing a sound check for their concert. Unfortunately I won’t be returning anytime soon

there was only one staff on duty at the pro shop, he chated with his friend on the phone for 10 minutes, and ignored customers

Played here multiple times and enjoy it everytime. I mostly play here during the week so pace of plays is good. Greens and fairway looking better than i’ve ever seen them

Despite the drought conditions, The course was well-maintained. And although the pace of play was a little slow, around three different holes on the course, we still made pretty good time. I Will definitely come back and play this course again!

They need to have a drink cart person on the front & back nine also was upset the snack bar was closed

The geese poop is unhinged. Even some of the greens had too much. And could some players please fix you ball marks!!!
