Enjoyed the round. Everything is good, except for the recently aerified greens, but will come back again.

Excellent golf course and customer service.

Excellent golf club. The course was in great shape other than the greens which were recently aerated. A necessary evil if you’re going to enjoy beautiful green the rest of the year, so no complaints here. The staff is top notch and goes out of their way to make sure your round is enjoyable. I will be back often when in the area.

Great Course and bang for your buck

I've played this course a few times. All around it is one of the best bang for your buck courses out there. It is a fun layout and very well maintained. Carts are great and overall the pace was solid.

Staff is kind of rude. Course was relatively empty and they refused to let us go out earlier without paying more because we had a prepaid reservation. Pretty much the only course I go to where they do this. Only other downside is it is a bit out there if you don't live in south san jose or morgan hill.

If you are looking for a solid round round at a nice course without breaking the bank this is your best bet in the area.

This Course is Not Fun

I do not recommend this course. The reviews are very positive and I don’t know why. This course has a really silly design. I should have known when I asked the starter if he played the course much and he said no never. I wouldn’t either if I worked there. I will probably never go back. Staff is friendly, course is manicured well but the course layout is a total joke. Golf options in San Jose are really bad which is why I’m guessing this place gets good reviews but avoid San Jose all together and play in Monterey or the East Bay or South Bay for some good courses.

Silly design? I think you're the first person to every say that. To each its own, I guess.

Beautiful views

Challenging course. Greens are fast and undulating. Near perfect conditions. Do not play here unless you are a strong intermediate as there are many good players here who set a quick pace of play.

Fun track

Great conditions and interesting layout. Greens were firm and fast but pins were not put in good spots given the 20 mph wind. They should take high wind into consideration before putting a pin where you have no chance of getting to it. Nevertheless, would definitely play it again. I did not get to use much of the practice facilities but they looked comprehensive and well maintained. Aside from the obvious big swing breaks on side hills, overall the greens don’t break as much as you might think.
