Shoreline Golf Links at Mountain View

There has been a significant improvement in the greens. They where smooth and true with no significant iperfections that where on most every green the last time I played the course, still as fast as I remember. There is work to do on the fairways, they are still pleaged by bird dropings, ground in repair and the squirrel population has grown, but no lost balls down squirrel holes!

Fairway and green condition is much better than before. Range is also good, we can hit from grass.

Fairways need attention and some of the bunkers need better sand, most the bunkers have been re-sanded.

We skipped hole 11 due to a very slow foursome in front of us.

The course has some water saturated areas just off the fairway. They are unplayable unless you don't mind standing in the water up to your ankles. I only noticed them because I was in them on hole # 1 just five feet to the right of the fairway and on 13 just in front of the trap on the right. The sprinklers came on and nailed me as I was waiting to hit my shot on #9. I talked to the maintanence guy who was sitting close by and he didn't even notice. He was sorry and thanked me for bringing it to his attention.

There is no Marshall to help speed up play or at least tell the groups to pick up the pace. It's a nice place to play but not worth the price if it takes 5 plus hours to play and you're constantly waiting more than 15 minutes to tee off.

Shoreline is an excellent course to challenge any level...beware of wind on a few holes.

I like the general layout of Shoreline. It's a muni course with a more interesting layout than most munis. The tee boxes and greens were in good shape, but some of the fairways were torn up in places, and some of the bunkers need sand. The staff was friendly and it was a generally pleasant experience.

Great location, nice views, some holes have bad smell from the bay, easy course otherwise

I've played 100+ rounds at Shoreline, but due to injury this is the first time I've been there in ~ 2 years. Last year they got a new head groundkeeper who has really improved the greens and the teeing grounds. The greens are firmer, faster and roll much more smoothly than I remember them and the tee boxes are finally level. Most of the fairways are in good condition, but several (9, 10, 15 especially) were damaged by saltwater intrusion and a sinkhole last year and are still recovering. However, the main condition issue is the bunkers; the sand is hard, crusty and there was not enough of it in several bunkers. Also, it looked like they were not groomed or even raked by the grounds crew before play.

I like the layout a lot, the course has a nice variety of holes, a lot of risk/reward options and can be relatively easy or very difficult, depending on which tees you play. How strong and from which direction the wind is blowing can also make it a very different course. Fixing the problems I outlined would make this a 4 star course, IMO.

The fairways and greens were both in pretty bad shape. Too bad because it's in a good location and you can get decent prices if you can play flexible hours. Got a round for a good price, but still wasn't worth it. Would rather play Palo Alto or Sunnyvale.

I used to be a regular at this course.

Even they drop the price the condition of the course was absoultely terrible. No course staff control the pace of the play. That was the worse round I played in years.
Can you imagine 7 holes in 3 hours.
I don't know how people can mange that.

Just like they take the money and let as many people go on to the course as fast as possible. Whether you can finish the game they don't care.

I will not go there again.

Played Shoreline golf links starting after 1pm with not a lot of expectations as last round was wet and slow. The course is remodeling their bunkers with crushed feather sand and the greens were smooth and steady. A great value after 12:00pm but expect a steady wind off the bay. There's no doubt you can expect a lot of geese and droppings in the 1st, 7th, 9th, 10th and 12th fairway but holes were playable. Good value for the weekday early afternoon tee time rate <$40 (with cart).

There were goose droppings all over and lots of areas on fairways with no grass. I hadn't played here in a few years and it was the same last time I was there. The only nice thing was that there was no one else playing so we weren't rushed or slowed down by others.

Like this course and always have. They have nice greens but back nine has some construction activity

Played this week on a weekday and with the hot deal this was an incredible value for the money. The course was in good shape with some patches having almost not grass on one or two greens. Given we had different handicap levels in our group, the pace of play was great and we all enjoyed it greatly.

The greens are okay but the fairways are not well maintained. The course had soggy spots even if it hasn't rained for a week. One of the worst condition courses we have played in a while.

Shoreline could be an okay course if they can overcome the perennial problem of geese and droppings. Also, most fairways need maintenance badly and the bunkers need sand (unless they were meant to be dirt bunkers). On the positive side, the greens were in good condition. And the Hot Deal green fee was quite a bargain.

Fairways have patches of dirt.
Pro shop rude, almost wasn't able to play because I forgot my proof of tee time.
The pro shop refused to call golf now to confirm my time.

Fairways were in rough shape. They need lots of attention.
Tee boxes also need some love.

interesting layout, can be real tough when windy. couple of nice risk/reward holes. be warned the course is in very poor condition. greens need immediate attention.
