Shoreline Golf Links at Mountain View

This course was much better than expected! I travel a lot for work and try to take advantage of various golfing all over the US and, for being a public allowed course, this was pretty great! It re-instilled the thought that not all great courses are private; being a links course, I found the layout and scenery refreshing and beautiful to play on. Some other reviews commented on the amount of goose feces on and around the course, but I didn't notice some over-abundance of it. The thing I ran into most were squirrels and gofers; that said, there were thousands of gofer holes on the courses edge, but it's fine. Overall, the scenery was great, the fairways were great and the only variance that was a bit difficult to read were the greens- they were very bumpy, but still enjoyable. I'd play here again anytime.

Small hard to read greens, well bunkered-only surface raked-hard packed under so your SW will bounce and skull. Heavy dew mornings-very windy afternoons. If you go low here you got some serious game.

I have played this track many times ime. While it can be very windy. Robert Trent Jr has

taken that into account.. it is very playable with the Wind coming at you, or coming from behind most of the holes which I enjoy as opposed to Poplar Creek in San Mateo With the Wind comes directly across the fairways and can play five to six Strokes more.

Lenny in the bar is a hysterical he has been there a long time and is a seasoned professional.

very playable greens are great. Fairways always need work a good value for the money

I normally play this course because for an average golfer like myself, it is competitive, challenging yet fun. However, all the greens were aerated 2-4 days before, plus they had approx 6 temporary tees due to course maintenance. While this is normal, it would have been good to see this announcement on golf now or somehow in advance to allow the golfer the option to find somewhere else to play until the maintenance is complete. Or at least only have to pay a fraction of the cost, not at full price!

Average golf course which can be difficult when windy. The fairways need to be improved. When I played there were plenty of dirt patches. Not worth it at full price.

Course was in good condition. Fairly quick greens that were well maintained. Walkable, and had many slow moving walkers slowing the pace.. Waited on many holes to take my shot. No marshalls! No drink carts. But nice atmosphere.

Enjoyed some beautiful November NorCal weather at Shoreline recently. Driving range is decent as was over all course condition. Greens were very bumpy but tee boxes were nice and fairways pretty good. Met and played with a couple nice guys but because the 4some in front of us were walking (slowly) we waited A LOT. Never saw any sign of a Marshall so on a couple par 3's it backed up 3 groups. Nice guy in pro shop....had fun....good food after.

Greens were bumpy & green speeds were inconsistent (we were told at the course that the greens were aerated 2 weeks before). Fairways were fairly dry and had compacted dirt in many areas. The amount of geese and goose feces and ground squirrels and burrows were unreal. Don't leave any food open in your cart, the squirrels will steal it.

Putting green were bumpy.I know we are having the drought so we don't expect perfect condition but at least putting green roll smooth.

It was a beautiful Saturday when I decided to play Shoreline for the second time. I'd played once months ago, thought it was a nice track in bad shape and wanted to see if it was any better this time. Short answer, it was so much worse!

I actually quit after 9 holes and asked for and was given a refund. The staff couldn't have been any nicer.

The course was awful - fairways were all choppy, there were geese and their feces everywhere. Greens were slow and bumpy, and in some cases had dirt mounds on them. Tee boxes were ok. Course layout is still good. Pace of play was slow. 9 holes took 2.6 hours. There was no ranger on the course. On the 9th tee, the group ahead of me (there was a backup on every hole) also commented on how slow the course was and what poor condition it was in.

One other note, and this seems to be getting more common - greens fees are cheaper when booking online rather than calling the course. It's $70 over the phone or $59 on golfnow. However, I highly recommend you play somewhere else.

This is the worst course I have ever played. No system at all. Eight people on some tees and the grounds are the worst.

I have never in my life played a course in such bad shape. There are geese EVERYWHERE and most of the tee boxes and greens were COMPLETELY COVERED in goose feces. I honestly couldn't believe how bad it was.

Do yourself a favor - don't go.

Good course for all levels of play. Greens very challenging. Beautiful setting.

Get out early beat first tee youngsters

This place hidden inside silicon valley presents a great opportunity for kids and newbies to play and learn the game of golf. The course is pretty straightforward, you can see the pin from the tee box most of the time. It can get windy in the afternoon so be careful. There are 2 chipping and putting locations, a good size driving range and a nice restaurant next to it for 19 hole activities. A junior golf camp plays in the afternoon so try to avoid playing behind them. The greens were bumpy and plenty of goose doodoo in the fairways. Several high grass areas so best to keep the ball in the fairway.

Played in the afternoon, nice breezes, not too crowded, played in 4 hours. Greens were soft and bumpy but decent. Some dried out spots in the fairways but overall in good shape for a muni. I'll be back more often.

Teed off before 7 am. The company was great, the weather was awesome, but the course conditions were pretty poor. Fun layout, with trees and bunkers everywhere, along with water hazards to challenge your tempo. No matter what, the conditions could not be overlooked. Greens hadn't been mowed, cups were old, and my playing partners complained about inconsistent sand in the bunkers. Some of the teeing areas were so badly sloped and or bumpy we moved to other tees on certain holes.

Greens held but were thick and bumpy. (need verti-cutting or rolling if ur not going to cut them.)

But it's still golf, so all and all I had a great day!

Everything about this course is usually pretty good but the greens were just too bumpy the day we played.

Always a fun course to play. Greens were in great shape and difficult pin placements. Not too windy and warm, perfect ft for a SundY afternoon round.

I was running late so called the pro shop and they got me out as soon as I arrived.
