Good facilities
Metro offers everything you want in a course. Grass driving range, short game area, multiple putting greens and a solid challenge. Conditions were better than most muni's I've played recently. Greens were very good.(held a good shot and consistent and smooth service except for some unrepaired ball marks) A few tees were closed for repair on the back side.
Great value for Oakland Residents
The recent rains made the course pretty soggy and the pace of play was slow but not extremely terrible. Otherwise fairly good course to get in a round at a great price.
Challenging but Fare
Overall Course is in great shape considering lack of rain. Position off the tee is key, fairway bunkers come into play for players of all length. Greens are fairly large with enough slope to bring three puts into play but they roll true.
A fun cirque but always plays really slow
I do like the course for one next to an airport,I has its own charm and some interesting holes.Only thing here is the play is almost always very slow and even the best round when your waiting at every hole starts to go bad.The course was in good condition given Cali's unfortunate weather the last few years....So I guess I should be happy to even play golf right?
A very good value
Pro shop staff was very accommodating as I was running late due to traffic....Thank you!! Thank you!!
The putts were rolling true...nice greens.....
Great time.
Tee time was 6:58 AM ... first out. Awesome! It just took a little over three wonderful hours (just two players with a cart.)
The Right Price
Thanks to Golf Now, I got a good price for this course. The course was in great shape, and left challenging tee shots for the long hitters! I hope to find this price again!
overall very good..will play again
several of the holes were hard to find..there was no path..
Great way to spend a warm day
Greens in great shape, little slow. Wide open fairways but some tricky bunkers. Nice breezes on a warm east bay day
No clue
Always backed up every time I play here. 5 hours only finished 11 holes . Ran out of golf carts so I had to wait after my tee time .
Good course for a hot day, right next to the bay
Mostly flat course with wide fairways with on meandering creek that cuts through several holes. This is a links style course so no trees ever come into play except willows allow the meandering creek.
Definitely plan to return.
Booked 2 for 1 PM Sunday start several days in advance. Under $50 to play. Wedding at the location, parking was still available. Paired with another twosome. The course played slightly challenging, mostly due to wind from the west off the bay. Greens were bumpy (match partner said they'd been micro-plugged recently), making longer putts more difficult, but in very good condition. The restricted areas didn't come into play. Fairways in good shape considering drought. The pace was OK. We finished in 4:45.
Good layout, but a little rough around the edges
Didn't mind the course layout, but overall the course condition was a little rough. I played knowing they punched the greens only 1 week prior, but have to say I was annoyed by the condition of the bunkers. It is a link style course so there are many fairway bunkers. They were soaked with water and had terrible lies which made it very difficult to hit a good shot out of them. Green side bunkers not any better. Pace of play was very good, but recommend starting before 8am. Got a good deal on the green fee due to the conditions of the greens.
Excruciating pace of play
Everyone thinks they are out there playing a major. Takes forever to get a round in.
Links
I love this course. Have played it a handful of times. Top 5 in the Bay Area for me. It's not a challenging course if you play to the right sides of the fairway. Angles here are a must with the challenging undulated greens, even though it's very open for the most part. The pace of play was average 4 1/2 hours. The greens were rolling very well, and everything else was just as good! I love this course and will be back plenty more times! I got a hot deal for $15. I was shocked
Great Friday golf
Nice sunny day with just a mild wind. Good pace of play for a Friday and overall course conditions were good.
boundries
I was paired with three nice guys. That really made the round. The ONLY issue I have is those stakes with green caps. I was told we could not cross the areas that are marked by those stakes. Those areas are supposed to be protected. That created a difficult situation as we can not retrieve our balls even when we can physically see them. The ironic thing was we see bulldozers and other construction equipments within those areas working. That seemed contradictory to what we were told.
I like this course.
This course condition is very good. The Staff are very friendliness. I like this course. I will come here again.
Fun time at Metro, very windy!
Friday afternoon golf never a bad idea, tee'd off at 4 PM. Got 18 holes in without any problems. Starter was nice enough to let my buddy and I jump out a little early. Really didn't run into anyone all day, there were a few players behind us but pace of play was excellent. I was very impressed with the green, great shape. Really tough course with the wind. Seemed like I was hitting Driver & 5i/6i on every hole. With that being said, we had a blast, I would definitely recommend it to anyone around the Oakland area
Some holes are blind shots.
We played this for the first time. Some of our tees were hard to see landing zones. With more familiarity, we would have selected different clubs or direction of shots. All-in-all, it was enjoyable even though the wind made it more challenging. KEEP an eye out for the wildlife. We encountered a fox that looked a bit mangy and step towards us. I'm sure this was a rarity.
