Shoreline Golf Links at Mountain View

I'd forgotten they'd sent out an email regarding greens being punched last week. Oh well. Was able to go off early, and got in 18 just before dark. Carried, so got in some nice exercise in beautiful weather and witnessed a gorgeous FULL MOONRISE while playing the last few holes. So, though greens were really PUNCHED (BIG holes and gobs of sand), I still struck the ball well and enjoyed the 3 strangers I played with.

Played just the front 9. Great instead of hitting balls on the range. Fast 2 hour round

Always love the course, but the fairways need some help. Soil is too compacted for grass to grow properly hence all the brown and bare spots.

Maintenance mowing the fringe while im on the putting green on holes 12 and 17. I spoke to the manager(dave) after my round and he really did not care.

Course is full of goose poop gopher holes

A lot of Goose crap everywhere, if you can play for under $40 it’s good, pace is slow to moderate, and the wind is almost always 2 clubs more than you think! Great layout but it needs some love!

Maintenance worker mowing the putting fringe while we were putting. It happened on holes 11,12,17.

I spoke to the manger (dave) after our round and he really did not care. He said his workers had a lot of work to be done! Not even a “sorry sir, id like to apologize for the interruptions in your round”. I mention that i spent a big bucks ($50 for a muni) to play golf at shoreline and he rolled his eyes and said “big bucks, really”.

Hey Dave, some of us work hard and it takes a lot of budgeting to play a round $50 round of golf during a pandemic! Maybe Dave should have paid for our round of golf since $50 is peanuts to him. Hey dave, forget you and your goose poop filled golf course!

Tee box level. Fairways firm. Greens clean and fair. Will play again.

The pace of the game is too slow even I have a cart because my partners are walking and most of the players ahead! I end not finishing the game because of the cart curfew too. But overall, it’s alright, maybe I’ll book earlier tee time and just do walking as most of the players do! Thanks GN

I’ll admit shoreline is my home course I have a deep affinity for it for several reasons one it was designed by Trent Jones Junior the layout is phenomenal with trickery on the eye on almost every hole,

I play from the tips so almost 7000 yards which is a great test and especially on the par threes when it’s windy it can be a nightmare 200+ yards. You get a beautiful layout with patchy fairways and gopher holes that I’m sure you’ve heard all about but for some reason the other horses in the area such as Baylands Moffett Field are mundane and boring as shoreline is unique as every hole

Sticks out in my mind better or for worse. They are redoing all the bunkers and pouring money into the greens which have always been the saving grace here. If you can play well at Shoreline you can play well anywhere I found out to be quite true if you’re willing to overlook some dried grass fairways and some greens that are in the process of getting work done then you’re have a fantastic time this course is challenging don’t blame it on the gopher holes don’t blame it on the patchy grass go out and enjoy yourself and see it for what it is and I think you’ll enjoy it it’s made me tremendously better golfer and one that Love the layout and the uniqueness of each hall just my two cents

If your waiting for the green to clear and your 190yrds out and your tee shot was 160yrds, theres somethings wrong

Keeping the ball in play is huge on this course, lots of tullie and tough bunkers to carry. The layout is still worth trying but these fairway conditions are hit and miss. The greens roll really well. The tee boxes are in fairly good shape, but we bumped into a lot of hackers that just couldn't get down this long track.
