Pricey for the conditions

The non-discount rate is higher than many comparable courses but the conditions are not as good. Lots of bare spots in fairways and the tee-boxes are a mess in many cases. Slow play abounds but the marshall we saw was at least trying to pick things up. Driving range is among the worst in the bay area, balls are ancient, distances are not marked and at least half the stalls are on a slant. However... this is a nice course from the point of view of terrain and variety so, although it is not a first choice, I will go there again. I would recommend this course but not unreservedly.

this course has interesting holes

Practice area is poor need grass driving range and better chipping area. Fairways are good Ruff is mowed to much. To many balls go in canyons Greens are always slow. And bunkers are very bad. I think they do not know what real sand is. It is OK to play when the price is right. I never play there unless I get a deal. KB
