Shoreline plays like a classic links-style track with wide fairways, dogleg holes, and challenging two-tiered greens that reward thoughtful shot-making. The starter and staff consistently earn praise for being friendly and well-informed about course conditions.

Nice layout course needs work.

The course has a nice layout, especially the front nine. Most fairways and some greens in poor condition. Irrigation appears in dire need of repair as there are areas that are burned out and others that are swampy.

course conditions leave a lot to be desired

for all the talk about improving course conditions on their website, the only evidence I saw was some new sand in a few bunkers . some of the bunkers are still like concrete. overall the course needs a lot of attention. won't be back anytime soon.

Little Better in Spring, Still Needs Work

Course was better than winter conditions but still fairways have mucho bare spots, less geese on course than I have seen for awhile. Greens were mostly OK but repair areas around green are hard to chip out of due to new mats of grass 3 inches high.

Fairways need attention

Fairways were patchy and dried out. There were many ground under repair areas so it was a sign that someone is paying attention but long term drainage issues continue. Greens were in good shape for putting.

I used to love this course but it appears they are putting zero money into maintenance.

It's sad. The golf course layout is excellent, especially when considering it's a muni.

Over the years it was maintained well.

Now however its just a complete mess. It's absolutely not worth the money.

Winter Golf

This is a mixed bag .... greens are great. fairways and rough are in marginal condition. lots of ground under repair. birds and ground squirrels. Wet and sloppy in some areas; redesign and construction in others. Bunkers in various states.... some new sand others eroded or bare to hard pan. Not a bad place for a practice round.... lots of trouble and challenging shots. But with current conditions not a course that will give you a wow day .

Satisfactory.

Flat terrain was welcome change from some other hilly,contoured courses. Alas! Fairways are right now in poor condition, apparently because of backfed saltwater through damaged sewer pipes.
Hopefully repairs take place quick enough to provide good lies.

This course continues on it's downhill slide.

Over the past year Shoreline Golf Links has gone from bad to worse. Large patches of dirt are showing thru the fairways. The 'grass' looks like it's been in a drought state for years. Coots continue to slop up the course. The only positive is that the greens are in pretty good shape but the mud you have to walk thru to get there is miserable.

The course was in rough shape with a lot of areas in need of repair. Don't mind playing such courses just don't wanna pay over $50.

Some challenges, and very quick greens

The course is well maintained (aside from copious goose do on several tees), but the greens were pretty fast, seemed much faster than most other courses around here. All in all, I like Shoreline quite a bit for the challenges, and for the fact that I seem to play pretty well there.

Pleasantly surprised the wind did not kick up with the rain!

We had occasional rain during our round, so we were not pressed by other golfers. We did think that it was so unfair to have the pin placed on a slope between two levels on a green on the back 9. One of our group "rolled" an ankle in a squirrel hole in the fairway on the 14th, and required ice and a pitcher of beer to reduce the swelling.

Good pace of play, nice course, too many birds and droping.

A great day of golf. good pace of play. a little too much bird dropings but not as bad as it used to be. Too many environmentally 'sensitive' areas, and some construction going on but that will pass. Got a good price through golf now.

I haven't played Shoreline in a few years sho I thought I'd give it a try. This was the worst maintaine course I've ever played at in the Bay Area.

75% of the course was under construction. I was shocked. Nobody in the clubhouse even hinted that this was the case when I checked in. I will never play here again - worse golf experience I've ever had in my 25 years of playing golf

Course was sloppy

Looked like you were playing in the middle of a desert. More dirt than grass, and no one likes hitting off dirt. Played here once before, about a year ago, but won't go back. Where it looked like dry dirt, there was mud under it. Was just a real mess. Looked as if it had not been watered in weeks. Thankfully GolfNow has many other courses for me to choose from.

Needs work!

The fairways are in bad shape. Bunkers have no sand and the course was soggy from being overly watered.
