Fairways have some bare spots. Greens are in good condition, but could be better. Good pace of play. Finished 18 holes in 4 hours.

This course is hit or miss. In other words, good course sometimes? Wow what a difference a day makes out here. Oh, but the squirrels...bump the ball and if the greens are maintained it’s a fun test.

Laptops welcome? Go play as you are always a half hour to an hour to many a Bay Area services and the staff is also very welcoming.

Conditions were horrible.

Fairways and rough riddled with gopher holes. Greens made you ball bounce like a super ball. Only saving grace was the weather.

Good discounted

Played the course again a month after they punch, greens are much better, still needs some mowing and rolling on the greens.

Still too many ground squirrel everywhere creating holes and dirt patches every where. Some parts of the fairways were dry and some were over watered.

A very good course with no wind

Shoreline is a very good course and had almost no wind today.

Being on the bay normally it is windy but not today.

It was crowded but the pace of play was very good.

Fairways need work, greens need geese droppings cleaned

Fun course for all levels of play. Fairways have lots of bald spots and greens commonly have geese droppings. Fairways need time to heal but greens should be cleaned of geese droppings...

Good Layout but blotchy fairways & bird droppings on greens

This is a flat walkable course with a good layout. Unfortunately, the fairways are full of bald spots and the greens are filled with Canadian geese droppings.

First Time Playing

Not worth the $74

Not well kept. Really hard to judge for playing ther the first time. Thankfully, we were paired with someone who knew the course. Not well marked. Squirrel holes EVERYWHERE! You need a kidney belt to take the cart off the fairway. I know, stay in the fairway, right?

Aerification plus ground squirrels

The greens were aerified so putting was pretty hard.

The course has a ton of ground squirrels everywhere, at least like 10 on every tee box, they were all over the course. The squirrels has dugged so many holes all over the course. A lot of thick rough that is the 2nd cut from the fairway. Either maintenance crew just got lazy and dont bother mowing 2nd cut from fairway.

Some fairways were dried up. For the price its not worth $52 with cart. This is a municipal course should be around $35. Will not play here until greens are back in shape and better prices.

Terrible course conditions, I do not want to play here again

I love to play at Shoreline because of reasons such as proximity to my house (5 miles), relative challenge of course, low prices, polite staff, ease of booking tee times.. I have played this course over 50 times but today I decided that I do not want to play this course unless they improve the following:

FAIRWAYS (poorly maintained, too many divets, too much geese excrement and too many hard grassless (ie no grass) spots and areas.)

BUNKERS (hard sand)

YARDAGE MARKERS (besides the 150 yard markers there are no other yardage markers)

Please improve your course conditions.

Forfeit the round

We did not go to the golf course due to the poor air quality (AQI 170). The potential of health hazards is too high for me.

No Marshall no rules

Pace of play was slow. Tio us 5.5 hours to play we are all 12/13 handicap. People hitting multiple balls, people cutting in between holes, no one to monitor. The greens were also super tall on a lot of the holes which made putting very inconsistent. Basically playing muni for twice the price amount.
