Tilden Park Golf Course

Young kid checking in was awesome!!

Snack bar guy was not.

OK track, but I would not pay the price to play here. It is not a course I would walk as it is extremely hilly. It was in really good shape but just funky and not worth $60 to play IMHO.

It was amazing how wet and muddy this course was with many tee boxes closed and shooting from temp boxes only half the length of the hole.most every shot hits and stops with little or no run out.Strange when other courses are so dry this one is soggy and muddy.Fun for a cheap round but certainly not worth regular prices.

Having player Tilden on several different occasions, I gotta say, I was prepared for a long round... but this was ridiculous. The number of walking players was staggering, causing up to 10 minute waits between shots, and no Marshals to usher play along. All that being said, the course was in fair shape, but extremely soggy in most every water collection point on the course. The website failed to mention 4 of the first holes were effected by tree removal, but they changes we’re easily averted. All in all, it is a magical course and having no fog made for gorgeous views. The greens were rolling pretty well, and the fairways were clean and will maintained. I’d recommend this course to anyone.

Putts are challenging with the heavy moisture on greens. Be careful with your golf cart. I had several spin outs. And after climbing up the 9th hole you have a steep downhill on 10th hole. My cart fish tailed nearly turned on its side and threw me out of the cart. I saw my life flash in front of me.

Place is just nuts-beautiful for a public course and the price. The staff, (Randy and others), CARE about your experience...... but the course says it all. Nestled in the forest of Tilden and kept well-enough. Reasonably short but the first hole will, well, just upset you.

Good luck.

Tilden is a nice course. Great choice when a heat wave hits the area, though other times in the spring and summer an early tee time might run into fog issues with the first two holes which are the highest part of the course. Speaking of the first two holes - what a tough start for the men! 400yd par 4 straight up hill followed by a tight downhill then uphill dogleg left par 4. Of course few holes are breathers. Very few flat lies, or wide straight fairways, but I would not call Tilden "tricked up". It is an old fashioned test, and because the course resides in the Berkeley hills it rarely if ever gets sun-baked so fairway and green conditions are great.

The lady in the pro shop was extremely unfriendly. They were running behind so we had to wait for a cart until our tee time. Play was so slow we played nine holes in 3 1/2 hours due to such a hot day we had to call it quits way to much waiting. With no drink cart. Or marshals to keep play moving smooth.

Tilden is challenging with tight fairways, heavy rough and sharp changes in elevation. Golfers who have trouble staying on the fairway will have trouble posting good scores. I enjoyed the challenge. The course was in good shape and the greens rolled true so once you got there, salvaging a decent number was doable. Would play this course again.

Wow!! It's hard to believe, 38 years since I played Tildon park golf course, NICE!!!! Staff was GREAT!! Course has some really nice changes since I played here last, Tough, challenging, beautiful setting. Made for a Great day out for the "Thursday Golf Thugs" had a Good meal after we played! We will be back soon!! Thanks For The Memories!

Great course. Just extremely slow play. Too many people thinking they are playing in the US Open. Course was in great shape. Would fix my ball mark and three others on every green. People need to respect the course more. A real gem in a beautiful setting.

6:30am tee off - on time. 2 hours around the front 3 hours around the back. Course in good condition.

Played with a good friend and frequent golf partner, for whom 150 yards is a very good drive. We haven't played Tilden in a couple of years. Chose it because it would be cooler than Walnut Creek/Concord area.

Was surprised by the changes that must be part of the Audubon certification. Much of the open areas between fairways are now filled with long grass, as is the first 140 yards or so of many fairways. It makes it very difficult for my friend. We won't be back. I may if I'm playing with someone else, but I won't be in any rush to do so.
