Shoreline Golf Links at Mountain View

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.

Course condition isn't the best, and there are far better courses for 50+ dollars in the area

The City of Mountain View has done a good job of taking an old city dump and making it into a large park which includes a golf course. The layout is interesting. There are several forced carries that give the course a challenge, especially when the wind is up. The greens were fast adding to the challenge. The greens and fairways are in good condition.

I thought the pace of play was a little slow. We had to wait at almost every hole. There was a five-some a few groups in front of us. I didn't realize the course allows this.

The most worth Golf corse I played in the Bay area in 2016. Give the space back to the nature as it us the best y can do.

Ahhh. Been coming here for years, was a long time member and close to my home, the main reason I came here today. SGL has benefitted to some extent from the rainy season but alas, grass won't grow in clay no matter how much rain there is. Vast swaths of some fairways are dirt, and unfortunately the kind of dirt that would not support any sort of life form. I'd like to say the greens came back from aerating quicker than usual, but that would only mean they are back to their usual bumpy and annoying selves quyicker than usual. I have no idea what these guys are trying to prove with the maintenance (or lack thereof) but they absolutely brutalize the greens when they aerate here, so much so that by the time they are fully healed and back in almost excellent condition, guess what? It's time to brutally aerate them again !! There's only a single two week period during the year the greens are worth a darn and that's around the City Championship but that may not hold this year since they are moving it from September to July. Been to more than 80 courses in the Bay Area over the years and none of them have problems with the greens and general maintenance like they do, I honestly have to think the standard here is only that there's grass on the greens, not whether or not they are playable. For such a tremendous layout the aesthetic at this course is horrible. I know it was built on an old landfill but does it have to feel like you're playing in an old landfill?

This is a flat out shame. It's a pretty nice golf course, designed by Robert Trent Jones and it's in really lousy shape. Fairways have weeds on them, tee boxes weren't mowed well and were often times uneven. Greens were in ok shape. Bunkers were ok.

There was no starter, no marshall, and pace of play started out ok and got backed up by 8. First 8 holes played in under 2 hours. Last 10 holes took more than 3:15. Really could have used a marshall.

The place is busy because of the location. It's right off the highway, close to all the tech companies, priced reasonably for the condition it's in. However, with better maintenance and proper timekeeping they could probably fill the course at twice the price and have a much better golfing experience. I probably won't return - too many good courses in the area to waste my time on one that's not well kept.

I love the layout of this course. It is fair and challenging at the same time. I always enjoy play here. The only downside was they airratted the greens a week or two prior but other then that i love this course!

My tee off was 12:40, we were 4 in our group but the group ahead of us was walking 4. It took us 2 hrs to complete first 5 holes. There was no field marshal enforcing the pace.

I tried to play nine holes, but the course was so backed up that I was only able to play 5 holes in 2 hours!

Hole #4 (par 3) had 10 players backed up on this hole alone.

There were too many twosomes and threesomes. Why not pair these up with singles to improve pace of play?!

There was a man and his 2 daughters (3 in the cart) and he was giving the girls playing lessons. Sharing clubs.

No marshall in sight to hurry these slow pokes along!!

The guys in the pro shop were great though...
