Weekend snail pace

It's a fun course but the pace of play on weekends is soooooooo slow. Bring a grill and BBQ between holes, or a hammock for naps. Great for weekdays or twilight.

Great deal!

32$ i got a round of gold with cart. I also got breakfast and lunch and a drink included. Breakfast burrito and pulled pork sandwich. I would have spent more than 32$ on food in sf so that right there made it worth it. Course was in good shape. Short course but cool layout alot of undulation. Very peaceful out there. Greens in good shape. Great deal!

Scenic settings w/ very good greens...

Course still pretty wet - not a good time to rate the course. Let too many groups do their own thing that really slowed down the pace of play - you need to tell slow groups to move on and not hold up everyone else. Not fair to force other players to play 5 hrs. + because they play slow and bet on every hole - totally unacceptable!

Dog Track in the Hills

This is a course of last resort. The course is always in bad condition in the winter. When you can even get on, there are frost delays or swampy fairways. Nobody has ever repaired a ball mark on a green in the history of this course. The pro shop is awful. Allocate 30 minutes to check-in minimum.

Hills add challenge. Great condition muni course.

I love this course. CA needs rain for sure, but Tilden was in much better shape than the other city courses I play regularly.

They are re-doing greens and bunkers on several holes - which will up the challenge a lot, actually.

You need to be accurate. There are a lot of balls in the bushes!

Fairways were narrower than what I have been playing

Start time was early 07:10 am my of October, you couldn't ask for better weather. The course looked green even with the drought. Overall the twosome we paired up with showed us the way so we were keeping pace for a four and half round.

Terrible pace and staff

Made it through 13 holes in 4.5 hours before we couldn't take it anymore. Staff was rude in the clubhouse.

Never know there was a drought

the thing I find funny about this course is how even during a drought it can be so ridiculously muddy,the day we played was clear but very windy even know your in a valley.It does have its own charm and some interesting holes,although I think how you start off with the #1 handicap hole is a bit funny and maybe even a bit nerve racking for some.I still had a fun time and I'm not sure if they overbook this course but my god it does play slow,given it was a Saturday its still hard to play good when you wait at almost every hole.But I will say its certainly not dry there.

Disorganized

This is the third time I played this course within three months. I did not get to start until 45 minutes after my tee time the first time. As the result I only could play 9 holes as I got too dark. Plus the pace of play was terrible. Second time they told me I did not have a reservation from golfnow.com. luckily I had the email confirmation. I then had to wait 20 minutes adtern my tee time to start. It took 5.5hrs to finish 18 holes. Yesterday I tried again only to be told my tee time was 15 minutes later than what I booked through golfnow.com. I am done playing Tilden. It is unfortunate as I love the course.

Tilden golf course

The one major issue I have with this course is that the greens were just airated and were in poor condition for putting. It would have been great to know this and if I have know I would certainly not have booked it for $52 a person. Not a satisfying round. Thank you.

Poor management of tee times

THere was no mention of aerated greens when booking this early tee time. At checkin we were told back nine aearated so have to play front 9 twice. At start of second round of front 9, Tilden goofed and OVERBOOKED and we had 4 groups in front of us waiting to START their round. KNowing that the front nine would be played twice, Tilden should have never over booked so the first groups could finish. Discouraged we left, PAYind for 18, but only able to PLAY 9

reservation

When I arrived to check in the counter person told me they did not have my reservation. I did not bring my confirmation slip. This the first time I ever forget my slip. So They charged me there twilight rate $25.00 the golf now rate was$ 21.99. I just want you to know that I did play and hope to receive credit. The weather was hot and we managed to get in 18 in 4 Hours. Greens were in good shape and fast. a little bumpy because of all the play during the day. kirk

Short But Challenging

Hadn't played this course in a while. Course was in very good shape considering the drought. Some very tough holes if you don't keep your ball in the fairway. A lot of left to rights and vice versa. The par threes are all very long except one, just know to play the slopes, course knowledge. The course is very pleasing to the eye along with the deer which just sit and watch you, true. The only drawback is the play can be slow at times so be prepared. I do recommend this course.

Awesome Course-Horrible Pace

My tee time was around 1:30 and didb't end up getting out on the course till 1:50ish. At around 6:45 we reached the 13th hole...yes around 5 hours to play only 13 holes...our group decided to leave after this whole because pace of play was just too slow.

Very nicely maintained course but they definitely overbooked. Probably wont be playing here on a weekend again.
