Tilden Park Golf Course

Good pace and not overly crowded. Course is up and down

Tilden is amazing for a public course, however their approach to monitoring pace of play is to ignore that completely. Zero course marshal presence on the day I was there. Not acceptable in a very early AM tee time!

Great day to play. Most fairways will have some muddy areas. The ball off the drive does produce some carry even in winter. Putting greens are some of the most challenging in the Bay Area. Come early and utalize the chipping and putting area and hit some range balls , too. If you choose to walk then bring your legs. Best to stretch real good before taking on the walk. Over alll the course is awesome place to play.

This course is way up in the hills of Berkeley with amazing views on the way. Really nice looking course as you drive in. I was skeptical about the conditions of the course due to the past storms but fortunately conditions were good. The course is pretty nice overall but the layout can be a bit confusing if you don’t use the scorecard or look on a golf app. Not all holes are visibly marked so I can see people playing the wrong hole or shooting to the wrong green. Tee boxes & greens are very close to each other so keep your head on a swivel. Fairways also run right next to each other & balls would land very close due to mishits. Driver definitely isn’t always in hand even tho the distance might say other. There’s ditches & if you don’t know the layout there goes your ball. Even tho the course is a bit compact & a bit confusing for your first time I’d still come back. It’s still a fun & nice looking course. Prices ain’t to bad either.

My first time playing Tilden came less than a week after the rain had passed, but the wind remained. The first hole is a daunting uphill slog, but a par is within reach. Tilden twists and turns from that point on and presents a handful of challenging dog-leg shots. If you’re walking this course, say a prayer for your calves, but it can be an excellent workout. The greens were well maintained and the fairways weren’t chewed up. The maintenance crew had the course in great shape after a stormy couple weeks. I’d recommend this course to any golfer looking to test their mettle.

Got paired up with 3 other singles all good guys. Very enjoyable round but just a bit slow.

One of the main attractions for me in playing this course is that usually you'll see a Coyote down around the 14th hole, deer, turkeys, voice responsive Blue Jays, and a variety of other critters. The course is in good shape in spite of the cold, slow greens and a white tee slope of 124.

They’ve acknowledged this so I’m not writing anything they don’t know - Tilden is one of my favorite places to play but the mud and torn up fairways from 12-16 make a lot of shots very difficult. I just moved my ball out of the mud pits

I was disappointed that you charged me cart fees for 2 players and it was kart path only for the entire course, that was not mentioned when booking the round online.

almost perfect. in december this will be the nicest course in the land

Beautiful area and interesting layout, with a lot of up and down holes, but tee boxes are all jammed in, I've never heard so many people yell fore in a golf course. In the back 9, you're pretty much teeing off less than 10 yards yards away from the greens, and most left/right misses are dangerous. I usually don't worry about safety at all, but felt uneasy a few times. Also, the course has no signs, at times it was hard to know where to go and where to tee off from; a bunch of tee boxes are "blind", and you can't see them from the cart paths. I often had to hike up to see if I was at the right tees. Conditions were fair; fairways were very uneven, and some greens were dry and impossible to put on. Tee boxes were all destroyed.

Golfed on a Thursday at 12:40. I expected decent pace of play based on time of day and because there were plenty of open tee times open. One of the slowest rounds I’ve ever played. I saw the Marshall one time the whole round and didn’t see him talk to the “very slow” group in front of us.

Beverage cart was out, which was a pleasant surprise and she was very polite and came around often.

2 younger male employees who I assume were the cart guys were smokin and jokin and skreeching the carts to a stop right behind the 1st tee box.

The course was in decent shape, one green was closed which was not advertised. The greens were inconsistent due to some having sand still from recent aeration (this was advertised).

Still one of the more scenic/beautiful courses in the area and the price is fair.
