Shoreline Golf Links at Mountain View

Arrived in the morning with a early tee time and I knew there was going to be a frost delay. Was informed that we'll be teeing off later, which I totally understand. We actually didn't even have to wait that long. Our tee time was at 8:48 and we teed off at 9:20 or so. Enough time to warm up at the range.

We paid for the cart and when we arrived at the first tee, the starter informed us that it was cart path only which should of been mentioned when paying. If that was told to us in the clubhouse, then we would of just saved the money and walked it because with a "cart path" only rule, you're going to walk quite a distance anyways.

Another thing that they failed to mention was that one hole had a temporary tee box which meant a par 4 was playing as a 135 yard par 3. Usually when there are temporary greens or temp anything on the golf course, I'm usually told before the round starts. We drove up to the tee box to find small signs which was our only notice.

Overall, I still like this course. Love the layout. The greens were in really good condition. The fairways not so much. You could launch a drive right down the middle of the fairway and end up on a patch of dirt.

Good greens...course is in good condition,...#13 a par 4 was under repair the day I played..tee move to the 150 marker...no big deal. Go play here...

Have played here a few times and this was my favorite time yet. For how parched we are, the course was in pretty good shape. The greens were in really good shape and rolled true and consistent. There was zero wind (amazing!) and not crowded at all. Didn't have to wait on people in front and no pressure from people behind. All in all, a great time except for how dark it gets so early we were only able to squeeze in 11 holes (started at 2:00).

I booked two tee times back to back from golfNow in Reno, NV and forgot my reservations in my suitcase. Your proshop staff was understanding and found my tee times without a hitch, and my family, friends, and I all had a wonderfull time on your beautiful course. Thank you, you will see us again.

Course is in decent shape considering drought. Good value.

Golf course is good but that day the wind is blowing strong
Therefore everyone is not playing well.Well try again next time

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.

Windy course....pace of play slow....but nice restaurant.
..will play better next time. ...

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.

Issue with ground squirrels, significant damage to course. Marshals need to hold players to a standard for pace of play.

Great course that's pretty wide open. I would recommend this course to anyone that loves golf. Can beat the price if you book on Golf Now.

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.

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.

Greens in good shape but the pace of play was extremely slow especially for a Monday.

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.

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.

If you want to play in the afternoon wind, this is the place to play.

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.

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.

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.
