Tilden Park Golf Course

What an amazing layout you wouldn’t even know you were in the bay area you think you’re in the high country somewhere very well taken care of a hidden gem

Let people play right now is permanently ruining this course. There is no fairway but mud and water. You tearing the fair just by walking on it.

I am a local and this course to used to be A LOT better under its original management. Staff was more friendly and course was in better shape. Not worth the money to play and additional cost for a cart. Course plays EXTREMELY slow (5-6 hours). Play early if you have time.

The course itself is beautiful as it sits in a regional park. But because of the rainy weather in California, it is too muddy to walk. The green and tee box need maintenance as well.by the way, french fries are great which comes from the cafe on the hill at hole 10th.

Walked the course very challenging. Like the challenges of the course - hillside lies and difficult pin placements

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.
