Cart boy steel range finder

If you do not want to lose your range finder that you fotgot to dettach from your cart after the round, do not play at this course. Seriously. Except for my case, I have bunch of friends who lost their range finders at this course.

Good golf course but questionable staff

This is my favorite golf course. I certainly enjoy playing there.

However some staff doesn’t know how to handle a customer’s issue. My friend made a mistake to book 9hole only. I didn’t know until a guy at a checkin desk said that. I asked him a few questions to confirm then this guy was clearly shown agitated! How come him being agitated by that? Afterward when I asked a cart, he charged a full price for solo ride. Typically other staff inly charges shared ride. I was puzzled so I asked him back if it is correct price. Then he became angry. What a lousy customer treatment!

He needs a better training to help a customer especially when a customer was in unexpected situation.

Low Battery Cart

Cart was hardly moving after playing 3 holes. No Marshall and no phone signal so had to wait for other golfer's help to park out of cart path and had to go back to pro shop to tell.

Good and Bad

I played 36 holes.

Round 1

There were 3 groups of ladies that led off just before us. Love to see them out there enjoying the game, but the PACE. 8:22 tee off, didn't finish till 1pm.

I got a cart that almost killed me. Lost brakes down the hill on the way to hole 3. Had to zig-zag down the hill to not crash.

Round 2

Same issue, pace of play. There was a 4-some ahead of us a full hole behind. They were taking FOREVER on the green, playing farthest away on every put, even 1 footers.

This course BADLY needs a marshall.

Decent for the money I paid

I don’t like the pace of play at all. It took six hours to finish at one point. But I love peaceful and serene atmosphere.

Course is very well maintained and fun to play

I always enjoy playing this course. For the buck, it’s one of my favorite in the South Bay Area.

Staff / Management doing amazing job

Course is in amazing condition for the price, renovations / updates last few years have been great. New driving range is great, little things like new water filters placed throughout course make this course the best value in the Bay.
