Corica Park - The Earl Fry North Course

The new North course is boring and unattractive. Some old buildings and sheds etc. litter the course and look terrible, also construction equipment littering the course at random which should be removed. Pace of play was horrible (5+ hours). I will try the old South course once more (I haven't played it since COVID) but without much expectation of improvement.

Amazing greens and fairways. Love how the undulations blend with the greens. Drainage is on point as the fairways and the greens are super firm but not dried out. Tee boxes from the back tees were well maintained and pretty level compared to other course in the area. Bunkers are tricky but super playable and well maintained. Fairways have rolling undulations and add another element to how you must strategically play this course. Signage is great especially for someone not from the area there’s signs everywhere pointing where to go and where the tees are. All in all I think this course is worth playing if you’re in the area.

Pure golf fun!! (Course knowledge essential for good scoring).

Thanks for bringing the enjoyment of true links-style golf to the Bay Area!!!

People don’t fix divots anymore, the greens were peppered with divots, so many so that you couldn’t spend the time fixing your line because it would slow up the pace of play. Which was a little bothersome because they had five minute intervals on Saturday and we’re just pumping people out onto the course even at the twilight hour for $80 you gotta have more than a five minute interval and just stacking people on the first day…..

Elevated greens and fast greens. A recipe for 3 putts.

After 5 hours, I was only through 16 holes, so I had to leave. I believe the marshals can be more diligent about who is causing the slow pace of play and speeding them up.

For the amount of undulation and wind, the green complexes need to be significantly slower. Take note from the English links courses.
