Shoreline Golf Links at Mountain View

Need rangers to pick up pace of play greens were slow and fairways not kept very well!

Shoreline has a great layout. The course is very badly maintained. The fairways have patches of mud. The bunkers have no sand. The pace of play is very slow.

This course keeps getting worse and worse. Didn’t realize the San Jose rugby team had its tournament. We were stuck behind an 8-ball team. That’s right, 8 drunken rugby guys playing 4 on 4 scramble each hole, and when we talked to a marshall about it, he said they are too big and drunk to talk sense to. So we teed off at 1:20 pm and were on hole 16 at 7 pm, when it became too dark to play.

Never again at this course.

Infested with mosquitoes(9/17/23). 60-70 bites all over the body.

Couldn't hit a single shot, nor putt without 20 mosquitoes trying to feast on me.

By the 9th hole, mosquito bites became unbearable and had to call it a day.

I had informed the pro shop of the situation, and to my surprise, they were already well aware of the situation.

Welll then, why not inform your players beforehand?

Why don't you accommodate your guests with at least a repellent spray before the round begins?

Or better yet, shut down the course until you have theo situation under control.

Sadly, all they care about is $$$ up front. Well, they lost my business here.

This was absolutely the worst experience I had in playing golf.

And will never be coming back.

First group in front of us played from the blues. They were not handicapped to play blues. Many time missing the ball while teeing off. Plus they pull their carts right up to the tee boxes. Often times parking next to the green. No Marshall was was on the course. They played 1 to 2 holes behind group in front of them. Sand traps had little to no sand to hit out of. Driving range was full of people with multiple baskets of balls. Many people receiving instruction while occupying 2 tee mates. Kids hitting balls on the practice putting area with irons making divots on putting green. Should have a practice spots reserved for people playing a round. Had to wait 15mins for a place to hit balls on the range.

Course in fair condition. There were several areas in the fairways and around the greens that were dried out and bare. The greens were fast and the second hole was especially sloped too much.

This is the slowest round of golf I've every played. It took over 5:30 hours to complete! In addition, the group with a 30 minute later tee time jumped in line at the start and the Marshall didn't stop them. Does this mean we can buy a cheap twilight tee time and show up at 8am? Lastly, the greens were flooded. After the round, I heard that they did it on purpose to prepare for a tournament the following week. It would be good to let us know. Also, beware of squirrels which dig holes that can twist your ankle and steal your hot cheetos from your cart.

I think for the money I spent there are other courses in the Bay Area I would prefer to play at. The property has some nice amenities (driving range, full restaurant/bar), but the course is in just average shape, pace of play can get really slowed down on the back 9.

Too much mosquitos in the morning. Pace was a little slow. Course overall was good

Rate of play on this course is so SLOW. Second time I’ve experienced a 5 plus hour round. I’m not the best golfer and consider myself a patient person but 5 hours or more for a round of golf is just too much. No staff on the course managing rate of play and it shows. So many slow golfers and people skipping slower group that just creates a incredibly slow rate of play.
