Over booked
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
Course is in poor repair and the ponds really smell bad
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.
Great muni close to SF
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.
overall a good value..nice dog legs...water hazzardss...
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.
Earl Fry Golf Course
Playing from the white tees at 5700 yards and a 116 slope made for a very relaxing and enjoyable day of golf, great for posting a decent score for anyone. Tee boxes are ok, fairways are ok, but golf cart paths are rough and bumpby, greens are good sized and medium fast (but very consistent) and ALL courses should have red, white and blue pin positioning flags like this course. Cafe has good food and rest rooms were clean and well maintained. Staff were very nice and friendly.
terribly frustrating slow pace of play and tee boxes as well as fairways (on the Earl Fry) course badly in need of work.
I have been playing golf for 55 years. It is a grand sport, and a true gentleman's game.
Nothing is more disappointing to me than golfers who have no awareness that there are others on the course; who ignore even the most basic rules of golf etiquette; and who turn what should be an enjoyable four hours into a 5+ hour nightmare of a "good walk spoiled."
Combine this with a managment company that just flat out refuses to marshall the pace of play, and you have a course that I believe stays in business solely because demand for tee times n the Bay Area is so extraordinary.
Moreover, the Earl Fry track is a mess, with hacked up tee boxes and fairway after fairway that have bald spots and patches of dirt.
I am an Alameda resident, and avid golfer, a raving fan of the game (who plays at the Bridges, Hiddenbrooke, Monarch Bay, Eagle Vines, and Chardonnay). I am dismayed that the folks at this course disrespect the multitude of us who certainly have a right to play a course that is well maintained and responsibly managed. Shame on you!
Very good course it's been around since the 20's I like the maturity of the course and it's serene aura
Very good course easy to get around walking the staff is nice the new management is great the restaurant has great food and good service the bar is good too great place for kids junior golfers the place has a nice comfortable feel relaxed old school golf complex.
Friendly layout for all levels of play, especially novices/beginners
Average muni course, great for family outings and beginners
An enjoyable golf experience at a great price.
I haven't been to Chuch Corica in years, but I definately plan to return more often.
Starting in the pro shop the counter staff and starter were very friendly and welcoming. Which set a nice mood to begin the round.
We rode the cart since it was included in the Golf Now offer, but it's a really walker friendly layout. Water comes into play on may holes, but in contrast to other courses we play there didn't seem to be as many bunkers.
The greens were in good condition, and not that many ball marks left unrepaired.
We had a 12:30 start time, and finished easily in four hours.
decent course if you can get a deal
Good course if you can get a deal, at only 6000 yds from the tips it is a little short, greens are nice. It was wet that day and had been raining for sometime the week before so they get a pass on the fairways. overall a good experience...I shot a 79, so can't complain
OK deal for an OK golf course.
There was a frost delay and it was cold, but it still was pretty fun.
Too Wet To Enjoy
Winter rains have raised the water table so most of the fairways have standing water. Wait until March for the course to dryout.
This Course Needs some attention
It's still very wet after 2 days from last rain. Car path need some decent work, need some signs to show where the next hole is. Not good experience.
Course had plenty of water and trees to be interesting
The course was in good shape, had a couple gimmicks that made the hold almost impossible, but overall a great course for the money especially.
The course features some challenging tee/fairway shots. Even though it's flat, but not as easy as it looks.
Cart path definitely needs some work. Tee box needs some work done, too. Other than that, this course is actually a very nice course. Marshall is VERY nice even when he is telling us to speed up.
