Tilden Park Golf Course

Great specials and conditions made for an awesome round of golf even in drizzling weather.

Played Tilden Park recently for the first time in a few years having played it 100's of times prior. Always a great course when greens are good. They are great right now, and speed is fun to judge. Good Luck avoiding three putts! Really rewarding when you putt well there. Plays as difficult as any golf course at this time, if you like a challenge of good greens. Not the same old easy Tilden Park when the greens are like this. Great pro shop staff and nice bar/cafe too.

Value for my money was awesome, will definitely be back.

Weather was cold, foggy, but no wind. Just what my buddy and I were looking for as we are going to Monterey soon to play golf. Course was in great shape and the greens were true but tricky. Booked on Golf Now for$35 but when we arrived were surpised to receive a food voucher for both breakfeast and lunch with two beers. Can't beat that. Great experence and will be back.

The course was in very good condition. It's hard to get a flat lie very often, definitely a challenge. Greens were fast, but it is definitely a course to try. Great setting in the Berkeley Hills.

Tilden Park is playing great. Greens are in fantastic shape. The grass has recently been manicured, AND the course isn't saturated with water! I suggest you get a round in!

Course was in great shape.... considering
no rain this year. The greens are tricky.. very
fast downhill... hammer it uphill. Some greens have the crowns... tuff to get close. Some narrow tee shots,
the greens hold ... I like the course as you use ALL
your clubs... and you have to think where best
to hit ball for flag position.

We arrived at the ninth hole tee box approx 2 3/4 hours after starting we skippd the nineth hole for a beer and a jump start ahead of the group of four in front of us. During that entire ordeal not once did we see a martial. Several other groups jumped ahead as well , very frustrated. We completed the back nine in about 2 hrs. We stopped at the pro shop and registered our complaint and the guy behind the desk stated "well that is Tilden.". What a sales pitch.

Was not notified of end or arrated greens, still had sand and grass was long. Fairway grass was long , like playing out of short rough , . Tee box grass was very long rough conditions.
Pace of play very slow no Marshall monitoring it .

Staff is great -
Course Layout is interesting (lots of elevation changes)
The only issue I had was that the greens were punched the week we played and I always feel like there should be at least a courtesy, "Hey, we punched our greens this week", especially if you're playing on a weekend. This is my only chance to play this month and the greens were clearly still sandy, rough, and long. Pace of play was an issue too. 5hrs 10 min for a round is not necessary. Other than that, it's a nice university course and again, the staff was cool.

new rate structure, better food, great round of golf

Played in 3-some with a 3-some in front of us, so pace was good, never had to wait for a shot. Foursome behind us fell 2 holes back so it was smooth sailing. Course was in good shape except a few of the greens were not mowed and were running slow. Its a fun course with a lot of elevation changes. This is a course that you need to be straight on or you could get punished quite a bit. Not a good course for beginners. The round came with breakfast, lunch, and two beverages. They had BBQ ribs and Baked beans outside which was a great finish to a great day of golf.

as my first time at tilden I was surprised. had heard about the course and it's history. was shocked it was such an unpleasant playing experience. very slow play, course filled with beginners and absolute duffers, and greens and tee boxes a mess. will not ever return to play

We had the first tee time and it was frozen out. Greens had a nice layer of ice on them. Balls would have a long bounce and glide across the green but once it rolls it slows pretty good as it picks up all the ice in its path. Fairways were pretty solid as they were just as frozen. But you cant complain about this deal with breakfast AND lunch AND beers with the tee time. What made for an even better day was no one getting on the back 9 as we made the turn so it didnt slow us down to our 3hr round

It looks like it's a really fun course but to bad I only got to play 4 holes !! I feel like I should get some type of refun from golf now !! because it was a hot deal for $35 dollars so der for I wasn't able to get refunded .... My Tee time was at 1:57 pm did not tee off till bout 3:30 pm ... I would love to go back and play the hole course

Except for the number of golfers on the course I love this course.

This was such a treat to play here. I can't believe that I have never played here in the past. The course is very majestic and challenging. Even more challenging if you play from the tips. All staff were friendly except for one individual, the Marshal. The Marshal came around several times with a grumpy attitude telling us to hurry up. However, we were waiting on groups ahead of us on every tee box. It wasn't like we were new to the game....all of us were single digit handicapers. We tired to explain, but he was rude and didn't want to hear us. He needs a lesson in customs, courtesies, and respect on how to treat your customers. Other than that, the course was fantastic!

We played behind a twosome that had a radio blaring, were drinking heavlily (they threw their cups on the ground and if we lit a match it would have exploded), and they kept hitting more than one ball, even though we (a fousome) were waiting on every hole for over 10 minutes. We called the pro-shop and they DID NOTHING. We asked the pro-shop to call the PD to let them know these guys would be driving home in cars, and they DID NOT.

Every bit of my day here was incredible had a great time the conditions were great greens were sweet fairways were beautiful I have decided to make it a weekly endeavor using golfnow thank you very much and kudos to greens keepers at Tilden keep up the good work

100% worth it. Tilden is a challenging course due to the trees, it's always got the best of me. The greens are tricky, average speed, breaks are present and not too trampled (even with a 1 PM tee time). The weather changed a bit throughout the round - par for a Bay Area round, but it was very nice.

One thing that was a bit of a bummer was the pace of play. We had a 5 some in front of us, with 2 walkers. One was an absolute beginner. Didn't let it bother us too much, but a marshall should have let us play through.

I'd do it again for the $.
