good course but slow play

Poplar Creek is a good course. It has an interesting layout that is challenging but not too difficult.

One drawback is the pace of play is slow.

Also there are very few yardage markers and very few benches to sit.

Great walking course!

This is a great course to walk: flat wide open and pleasant. While it is prone to wind (like all Bay Area courses), it it not crippling. As much as it looks like a fairly flat and straightforward course, it has its share of challenges. The greens can be tricky! I really enjoy coming here.

Very poor conditions

This courses greens and area around the greens were in horrible conditions. Blotchy crab grass around the greens. Whoever pulls the holes doesn’t make sure it’s packed back down. You literally watch puts make right or left turns as they approach the hole.

good course a little windy

Poplar Creek is a good course with a good layout.

The course is in good condition but the pace of play around noon is very slow. Other times pace of play is much better.

The new restaurant is good but service is not good.

Nice but too SLOW

I play here sometimes when I am in town. Mostly because it’s very close to friends we stay with. I am always hopeful they won’t have crammed as many people onto the course as possible and I’m always disappointed. This time was no exception. 10:20 tee time on a Friday and it was almost a five hour round. Also while I saw the Marshall numerous times no one prevented a foursome that was two groups ahead of us from stopping at the snack shack after 9 eating lunch then jumping in front of my group. Did not help pace of play at all. I’ll be looking for a course on my way to San Mateo to play next time.

Nice course

The course is flat and easy to walk. Fairways are fairly wide and clear. The course is fairly well maintained with clean fairways. The greens are a bit bumpy, but generally run pretty well and offer a challenge. We enjoy coming here for a challenging (but not frustrating) round that is very walkable!

First Timer

It was my first time playing this course and it was somewhat challenging due the wind and unfamiliarity of the layout. The greens were FAST. I would definitely play this course again.
