A tough one

This is a course that everyone should play at least once. Offers every obstacle that you could imagine except water. Well maintained with small greens and lots of elevation variations. Let's not forget the trees. A must course if you enjoy a challenge!!

Ignorant Staff

Good round good day good pace but before that we needed to check in. Women working behind the counter made no acknowledgement after several of my group entered and approached the counter. After 3 of 4 minutes I asked if she could help us, yes she said then went on looking at clubs for a few minutes. Are you the jones party, she asked. No I’d like to check in and get some range balls, I responded. She checked us in and we went on with are day. Guessshe was having a bad day already at 6:30am. Hope her day got better though I could have done without the rude behavior. Maybe her manager can provide some basic training for how to act while working in a service industry, like saying things like hello, I’ll be with you in a minute, how can I help you, etc.

Great til 10th hole

We were the 1st group out on the course this morning we were moving quite well because we all have some place to be when we came to the 10th hole we came upon 2 groups that got let out by the clubhouse to play 9 holes and our pace of play stopped we played 9 holes in one hour and 15 minutes and after that we played 4 holes in 1 hour and 20 minutes due to that 2 of our 4 had to leave before we Could finish around

Mountain gem

Beautiful summer day, warm with lots of shadows from the mature trees that abound at Tilden to cool things off. Monday, so not crowded. Course was in great condition. Mon. - Friday senior rates are $35.

Paradise amongst millions of people

Excellent course. 200 ft high redwoods. Course is in a canyon surrounded by millions of people yet there was no city noise. I saw wild turkeys and deer but not the mountain lions today. Golf Now provided green fee with cart for $32. I highly recommend it. I saw some people walking but it requires a high level of fitness with the constant elevation changes. Don`t miss out if you have the chance to play here.

Lose the Weeds

I always liked this course since it is a challenge but you can recover. Not anymore. Since they decided to let the weeds become US Open quality you have to be nearly perfect and I feel that makes this course that much harder now.

The course is in Berkeley, CA Nestled in the the hills and surrounded by tall trees.

The course was beautiful, the tall grass surrounding areas made for slow play. I believe the course was over booked 250 rounds that day made a 6 hour ordeal. My 10.32 tee time was changed to 10:55. We didn't finish until 17:30 hours. The fog was rolling in from the bay at that time which made the weather undesirable.

All smiles

Tilden often requires cart path only so I forgo this course for this very reason. This weekend it was not cart path only so I played and enjoyed it very much. The course is in great condition. Fairways were lush and greens were a bit slow but great condition. Pace of play was fantastic for a Sunday afternoon.

Windy weather
Walked

penal tee shots

You better have your tee game going, I was struggling a bit with Driver/3 wood and this course will make you pay. Lots of good elevation changes. Par 3s were more challenging that I thought appropriate for the distances. 11 is 230 into wind down a chute to a sloped green.

Pace of play was terrible, 5:40 hour round.

Also if you decide to walk this course, be prepared for a Hike. This is not an easy stroll

If you hit it straight, the course is easy

First time playing this course. The course is fairly short playing from the tips and all you need is an iron off the tee on many of the Par 4s. The course is somewhat narrow and the greens are fairly small which can prove challenging. Overall, the course wasn't very difficult and unfortunately the greens were punched or else it would have been a really easy scoring day.

Nice course but aerated greens

The course was in overall excellent condition except for the greens which had been recently aerated ethics rendered them nearly unplayable.

Too bad they did not inform us ahead. So paying full price was disappointing.
