Corica Park - The Earl Fry North Course

got me out earlier than my original tee time THANKS :)

Course was in above average shape. Pace of play 3 hours. Greens had top dressing of sand not punched.

Have played this course many times over the years. First round played this year and I must say that I was very impressed with the course conditions. For a public course that gets a lot of use, the tee boxes and fairways were in great shape. The greens were smooth and fast. The rough was also fairly consistent and challenging. The annual Commuters Tournament held last weekend and next is the likely reason why the course is in such great shape. Get out and play while these conditions last!

The greens on the Earl Fry North course are smooth and fast. They always roll great around the time of the Commuters tournament. Fairways are good and recovering from the dry winter. The only negative thing I noticed on the North was the lack of sand in the bunkers.

Course's fairways were nicely trimmed, wish they would have managed the tee boxes a lot better, tons of divots and not well managed. Also the greens were nothing to brag about. But you get what you pay for, also the foursome ahead of me was brutally slow. Other than its was a good experience

I was very pleased with this course. Clean. Good greens.

Terrible course. I played it giving it the benefit of the doubt, I should have listened. A lot of brown grass, ALOT. Bunch of dead grass and mud. Hard/Firm ground everywhere. Looked like the greens were painted green. Tee boxes were terrible, leaves and branches everywhere. Probably the worst course I have played in the East Bay..... Seriously looked like we were playing in the desert.

I PLAYED THIS COURSE WITH MY UNCLE 10 YEARS AGO WITH MY UNCLE,I HAD THE BEST TIMES PLAYIN HERE WITH HIM, AND NOW HE PASSED ON AND IM KEEPING OUR MEMORIES ALIVE,GREAT GREENS,FAIRWAYS AND BUNKERS

Last time I payed there were two groups of 6 people ahead of us and our round was way too long. I wish they course staff will keep an eye on this situations. That way the overall experience will be much better.

Played today for the first time in about 8 years. Noticed they have completely redone the driving range. It's beautiful. (don't believe they offer hitting off grass but hey the mats were level and new)

The course is in good condition. Tee boxes are all pretty level and divot free. Even the traps were above par in my book. The greens were VERY soft. Despite this and the amount of play this course gets, they ran VERY true and smooth, no complaints. The wind gets up some in the afternoons but the course itself plays short so only crosswinds on approach shots had much affect on play or fun.

Staff was helpful and friendly.

The course is tree lined with many doglegs. There are some holes with water in play. Playing from the back tee's the course is short but surprisingly it makes you think a lot. It's definitely not a cookie cutter course where all the holes look alike. With all the doglegs and direction changes it keeps your interest from 1 to 18 easily. Your gonna need a draw and a fade to get around the way it's intended but it's fun!

There is only 1 drawback to this course. The fairways and areas around all greens have been overrun by crabgrass. From the fairway it doesn't have much affect. Chipping around greens however is tricky. The closely mowed areas remind me very much of astro turf and the longer rough can be really sticky. I suppose if you played often you would learn and get used to it, really need speed to get through a short chip shot so distance control is a challenge.

Overall I recommend this course to anyone. Really fun track.

(if they miraculously were able to eradicate that crabgrass even I wouldn't be able to find a shortcoming here)

Fair greens, good tee boxes, nice fairways..................................................................................

The course was great. We played Earl Fry around 4:30pm and there was barely any wait. Unfortunately, somehow a 2-some got in front of us on hole 8 and from then on our round was completely screwed. If anything this place is too friendly to its patrons. They need a marshal (a guy on a cart) to go around making sure everyone is keeping up etc. This is the second time it happened and we are considering playing somewhere else just so I can actually complete a round for once.

A great day for putting. Greens in great shape and holding the line. The fairways? Well, the "bump" rule was in play. Lift and find a better patch of turf to hit from. There are way too many areas on the fairways that shoud be labeled "area under repair". But, for the $26 (including cart) from Golfnow, I can't complain. It was a great practice round with great weather.

I like the Earl Fry course because of the different type if shots you need to make versus the Jack Clark course

Fairways and tees require some maintenance as there are a quite a few rough spots. Greens are in good condition. As always course is fun to play you can really score well if your game is on.

Was complelety over booked only played 15 holes after the third hole 15 minute wait at each tee box and not well marshaled. At all

The staff are wonderful people. The course has been neglected however; ponds are solid green and smell horrible when one is down wind, fairways and cart paths are very lumpy, fairways are not in good condition. I would not recommend this course.

The fairways are a bit of a goat pasture but the greens are in great shape and reasonably fast. Impressive for a cheap muni and very accessible with 36 holes.
It's a short trip from SF and usually warmer weather.

Several of the holes were unreasonable to reach for an average golfer in reglulation.... no one on the course regulating play and it became very slow.

Course needs some attention on the parts of the fairways.
