Corica Park - The Earl Fry North Course

Fairway renovation recommended

I play Chuck Corica golf course frequently since I live 5 minutes away. The Earl Frey North course is the only one open now, since the South Course is being redone. The condition of the course is much improved recently after the rains in March. Both fairways and greens are in good shape. During the week it takes my group 4 to 4 and one half hours to play. Weekends take at least 5 hours. The course is flat and relatively forgiving and can be walked with little difficulty.

The golf course recently offered the Golfboard for rent ($10 per round). To rent it, you have to register at their website and watch a short instructional video. It's a fun way to get around on the golf course.

Tee time 11:21 a.m. Had to wait on every hole, 5 minutes each time. Quit after 16 holes, 5 hours during the week is unacceptable. The problem was downstream from the group in front of us. Marshall's not doing their job to try and make sure things flowed along. Won't be going back here anytime soon.

The North course at alameda is the only 18 hole course open currently until the south course reopens so way too many people scheduled on the one course. Also tournaments disrupt tee times as very seldom on time.

The course is in ok shape after being in terrible shape due to neglect.
I would not suggest playing here if you care about pace of play.

You can kill yourself driving a golf cart around the course. Never seen so many "moguls", mounds, bumps, etc. along the course. There was at least one temporary green that was not puttable. Many greens looked like quilts. Don't go there until courses have completed ther renovation. In the meantime they are charging full rates.

I enjoy playing golf at Chuck Corica, it's a good facility with a nice staff. The course layout for Earl Frye is a lot of fun with reachable par 5's, challenging par 3's and some fun looking holes along the way.

The course isn't in the best condition but that's expected in California with the drought. Pace of play wasn't bad at 4:45 for a municipal course on a busy Saturday.

I'll be going back to play due to the fun and the good value at Chuck Corica.

I played this course as a Jr. in 1980's and was a great course to play. Today when I played it, it appeared to be dying. There were at least 4 greens that had bad brown spots were half the green could not be used. The other greens were in fair condition. Also we noticed at least 20-30 dying or dead redwood trees. The also seem to be a lot of ground under repair spots, most of them were marked off, but just seemed to be too many at any single time.

Terrible conditions, greens were just awful, won't play again ,gonna wait till jack clark opens

Great place for Seniors, easy to walk & reasonable rates

Really nice practice facility. Greens are the worst I have played in the Bay area..unfortunate.

It was dusty during we played on the Earl Fry course. Watering the job site is needed under the construction. Should Chuck Corica Golf give some incentive to the golf player for the inconvenience during their course renovation

I've played here many times, but it seems like the course is being severely over-played due to the South's renovation. It is surprising wet/soft both on the fairways and the greens. Greens were in rough shape, bumps, slow pace and patchy due to new seeding. Always a moderate wind. Bar has excellent food and the staff was very nice.

I'd play again since it is local, but it needs some TLC

Some of the greens lacked grass. Many greens that had grass were bumpy. Tees and fairways were no better than average. I like to try different courses for the challenge. This was unspectacular. I won't go back.

The greens on this course are the worst I've ever seen including municipal golf courses. The whole track in general is garbage and I would not recommend it for anybody. It's basically a goat pasture with some flags in the middle of it stay away.

The group ahead of us were totally oblivious to anyone besides themselves. They fell at least two holes behind with no effort to pick up the pace. At no time did we see a marshal to ask for assistance. It was a distraction and annoyance to what should have been a very pleasant round of golf. The groups behind us said they solved the problem by playing two balls. Now, I wish I was smart enough to do the same. A marshal would have helped. Maybe.

This course condition is very good. The Staff are very friendliness. I like this course. I will come here again.

Took 6 hours to play 18. To slow pace. Even for the weekend.

Terrible tee boxes. Terrible grass. There was goose feces everywhere.
