Scammed by the course

Two weeks in a row air quality forecast has been brutal so I canceled. They are still charging me the full green fee and not answering their phones. All I want is to switch my tee time to a day where I’m not gonna risk my health to play. Someone at the shop, please answer your phones.

Great value, staff needs an attitude adjustment

Great course, good value, and always in good to great shape.

The last 3 rounds I’ve played however, the morning staff has been very short with people.

The starter today told a customer he was wrong about his tee time because they don’t have a 6:07 am tee time. I’ve booked that time before and he also was willing to show the confirmation on his phone. Golfnow might have posted something incorrectly, but there are nicer ways to state things to customers.

Another starter said, “we’re not even open yet”, when I said good morning before MY 6:07 tee time a few weeks back.

Grounds crew is doing a wonderful job, keep up the great work. Perhaps find some “morning people” to take up those early shifts.

No Value for price

$59 total price per player to ride. $43 through golf now, $2 + convenience fee and $16 per person for a cart (paid at the course). Golf now ended up more expensive than paying at the course. For $60 a round, I’m not sure if this course offers a good value for a municipal track.

Hot and Slow

It was 100 degrees during this round and play was moving OK on the front 9, but the group of guys in front of us were having food, drinks and smoking pot. By the time we got to the back 9 they had slowed down and could not finish our round. We still had a good time, but could have been much better with a faster pace.

Best in the South Bay

I can not recommend this course enough. Extremely beautiful, great staff, nice practice facilities, interesting layout, and very well maintained. I have played boulder creek, shoreline, deep cliff, and summit pointe and this is by far my favorite if you are looking to spend a little more. There is a nice mix of long holes and short holes and all of the greens have deceptive reads, so it is still a nice challenge for better players. Must-play course with gorgeous views in the middle of the Diablo mountain range.

Unprofessional Staff and Bad Customer Services

The lady (middle aged white hair) had bad temper, demand respect, and enforced unreasonable on court rules ... e.g., the closest to the hole must putt first, requested to see personal items inside the bag, must say please in every sentences, etc.

We like the course layout and close to our residences, but they have the worst staffs in the bay area golf course...

Very enjoyable shot makers course. Short, tight course with tricky greens. Course was in very good shape. Plush fairways

And medium fast greens that held approach shots.
