good day

It was my first time playing the course and I enjoyed the layout. My only complaint was the condition of the greens but it was the result of aerating the previous week of which I was told when I made my time. The fairways and tees were fine considering the drought. The marshals were very present but my lost head cover was never found and I am not sure they asked the groups behind me like I would have expected from such a fine facility.

Overall, the course was fine and the restaurant was very good. Great practice areas, I wish I lived closer.

This was a nice course although the bar/grill was lacking. They have a great seating area both inside and outside the restaurant, although they close between 2-3pm....a bit disappointing.

A Floridian's perspective of Shorelines GL

Having just moved from Florida and an avid golfer in the golfing capital of the world, I was very excited at my first opportunity to play in the Bay Area. I found the golf facility convenient, the staff very friendly and helpful. The rate was reasonable. The course layout was good with moderate elevation changes and given the drought, most of the course was green but there were some bar spots in the fairways. The squirrels were EVERYWHERE and their burrows were a nuisance. Lots of geese and their droppings. The greens were very plush and rolled pretty fast. Breaks were moderate; undulations were reasonable. I walked the course, which is not something we do in Florida. Very easy to walk and rental pull carts were good. I enjoyed the course and will probably play it again soon.

Good pace of play during a holiday

The pro-shop was extremely nice. My son and I showed up with a GolfNow booking, but the staff gave us the birthday free round, and the junior rate, for the total of $44, riding!

The fairway has patchy spots due to the draught condition, so we had to move the balls a few times. No big deal.

When the pro-shop paired us with a walker and a lady visitor from Europe who has never played this course before (and not a very good player - can't really get the ball off the red tees consistently), we thought this would be a long day. Surprisingly there weren't a lot of people on the course, considering this was the Labor Day, other than the group behind us passed us on hole #3. The course is fairly short, off the white tees, only 6000 yards, so that helped as well. We managed to finish the round in 4 hours and 45 minutes.

Good but not great

Good course, good layout and greens were a little firm but rolled fast and true for the most part. Like most muni courses, golfers think fixing ball marks is optional which is too bad. Also had to deal with occasional cyclists riding throughout the course - really? Back 9 was particularly ragged with lots of bare areas, some on fairways. No fun hitting off of dirt. But all in all, good but not great. I paid $59 with cart and although that's competitive for the area, I'm not in a hurry to go back or pay that again.

Good day for Golf

I had played Shoreline some time ago and remember the duck and goose droppings all over the place. It seems like they this issue under control now. Given the current water situation the grass over all was in good condition. They have also found a good balance in speeding up slow play. We started slow, but then moved along at a good rate. finished the round in 4 hours 10 minutes and had a great time.

Wide Fairways

I don't have anything that others haven't already said. Nice view of the Bay. Lots of critters on the course, lots of burrows. Didn't lose any balls in the squirrel holes but put a couple in the water. Greens didn't break much. The fairways are very wide so a missed drive doesn't ruin your chance of scoring.

Borrowing owls

Greens were OK, but the fairways are a mess. Rangers did nothing to improve pace of play (5 hours on a Thursday at noon) even though group ahead of us had a hole and a half open in front of them. I loved the notice in each cart stating that there are holes from borrowing owls on the course (a lot of holes), and if you disturb them you are subject to up to 3 years in prison and $25,000 in fines.

Fun Course, But Here are Some Notes

The course is fun and a little more challenging than I remembered from 5-10 years prior. But it was a blast. The course has nicer grass than a lot of California courses right now, but doesn't charge the hefty price tag of some of the "elite" courses.

Beaches had soft sand, a hard find around here. :)

Kinda a bummer that the restaurant doesn't open or serve beers till after 9am, but once they do, the prices are far better than any other golf course I've been to in a while. Just make sure to grab then around the turn and you'll be set for the back nine.

very enjoyable

I thought this course was pretty good, not an incredible course but pretty good. I will definitely be coming back here soon. The course was in good shape and was pretty forgiving on some holes, even if you hit it into another fairway it was possible to get on to the green. The bunkers and traps are located well and make you have to hit your shots. The par 3's offer birdie chances for anyone who can hit the green, the par 4's and 5's require a good drive.

Slow, slow, slow

I made it through 5 holes in 1.75 hours with a wait on the 6th tee....I was outta there. No evidence of anyone encouraging a reasonable pace of play.

I've always enjoyed the course and challenge in the wind by the Bay, but this was the worst I've seen. At least the greens were good for a change, as they have been variable in condition in my experience. At that pace, however, or the expectation of 5.5 hours rounds, I won't make an effort to play there any time soon.
