Country club quality for public rates
Great course and awesome clubhouse and practice areas. Fast, firm, elevated greens. Bunkers have sand in them. Broad fairways. Thick rough and waste areas. A links style course nestled in the hills. An amazing golf museum inside the clubhouse. Food is great and priced fairly. My favorite course in the South Bay!

Favorite course in San Jose
Everything about this place is top notch. Despite how difficult it can seem, if you’re able to get off the tee safely and have a decent short game, you can post a good score here.

WORTH IT!!
This is one of the best public courses in the Bay Area. In my opinion, the best in San Jose without question. There are 27 holes, with 5 tee boxes. The course is divided into 3, 9 hole sections: Canyon, Lake, and Mountain. This is a very tough course for beginners. The first time I played there I was embarrassed by the fact that I couldn't hit the ball over the ravine/stream gap into play. I hit 3 balls off the tee. Two landed in the fairway of the parallel hole, and the other into the abyss. I was paired with a scratch golfer who was patient and didn't mind my excessive mulligans, until our pace of play was too slow and he went ahead alone. The fairways are green and well kept. The bunkers are soft sand, and the greens are fast. It's a beautiful course. I'd wait until you are at least a double bogey golfer before playing here, otherwise it'll kill your confidence and ruin your day. I can't wait until I can play this course we'll. I look forward to playing here again.
