Windy weather
Walked

The Pro Shop had my tee time which I had booked on line, but they did not have my name.

They recommended that, in the future, I book a tee time directly through their own website and not use Golf Pass or Golf Now.

Fix your ball marks

The fairways were in decent shape. The greens were worse than Delaveaga in Santa Cruz. Of course this is the nature of muni courses. There are too many entitled/unscrupulous golfers (locals) using the course. Just fix your ball marks!

Nothing good about this course

Putting and fairway green was so bad, not worth it. I had to prove my booking came with the golf cart, I felt very uneasy.

Surprisingly fun layout

This was my first time playing Shoreline and I was pleasantly surprised by the layout. The designer got very creative with a flat open field. Numerous doglegs in every direction and some water hazards along with forced carries over barranca really kept the course interesting.

As for the conditions, they are average at best. Greens rolled smooth and a nice medium fast pace. That was the good. the fairways were mainly, thin, dead and patchy grass. Occasionally you’d get a decent lie, but often it was the opposite.

Some bunkers were excellent and others were poor. All and all the conditions were about what I expected going into the round.

Course is walkable which I will most likely do next time around.

Another round

The weather was perfect and the greens were in the best condition I’ve ever seen them. Dry and brown in many spots though playable.

Didn’t honor golf now price

They didn’t want to honor what was set up on golf now. I showed them multiple other tee times at the same price with the same offer. Pro shop told me that it was a senior rate and it is golf Joe’s mistake.

I feel bad!

It’s been over a year since the last time I played here! Not much has changed for the better! Only saw the geese on #9 #10! 😉 All in all, tee boxes & fairways were the same (worn out)! Greens were a little inconsistent! (Monday bumpiness and full of ball-marks) Fairways were dried out and full of gopher holes! Fewer squirrels! Good price through golf now! I have always liked the lay-out! I have played this course many times since it first opening! I have seen this course in pristine conditions and feel disappointed in what it has become! Some of the blame should fall on the players! Lack of divot repair, carts driven right up to the greens, non-repair of ball marks! This course was once a very, very nice course! It would be nice to see it come back to all its glory!

Much improved from 2 years ago

Most of the reviews saying the course is in bad shape are inaccurate. There are native areas around fairways that have rodent holes and you could lose balls, fairways are in really good shape with the exception of literally small areas of a few fairways. Bunkers and greens are in great shape. Most holes are in great shape if you keep it in the short stuff and out of trouble.

Went out at 6am on Sunday and there was no starter so easy to have singles or twosomes going out. For those looking to get out under 3.5 hours early mornings, this may not be your spot. The staff were friendly and I’d definitely play here again.

Will never play this course again.

Greens were in bad shape very hilly.

Got matched with a solo player who left after 9 holes.
