Tilden Park Golf Course

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 $.

the course was in good shape. greens are on the slow side but pretty true. overall condition of the course was good. staff was very friendly. this course is a very difficult wak.

The greens here are slower than fairways at nicer courses. For the price we paid I understand but this course could be great with some small improvements and if the greens were faster.

We have plans for our our wedding anniversary and my wife and i decided to include golf in our agenda. I' told her about Tilden Park which never played before. She loved area the moment she steps on the first tee. We both had fun and will definitely play the course again with the whole family. Thank you Tilden for a nice anniversary golf date with my wife.

I loved the beautiful look of the course. Local knowledge a big plus. First 2 holes not an easy start. Lots of up and down kind of expected when a course is in a canyon. The greens were very slow and unreadable. I would putt the ball really hard and still be short. Ball roll was very bumpy. I might play again but go for early start time.

My first time playing this course and I loved it. The weather was perfect, beautiful course , a lot of uphill and down hills shots. Fairways can seem narrow if you don't hit it straight. Greens were in great shape. Will play it again for sure

I have always liked this course it is playable for all levels from the proper tees. I know playing all a holiday it would be crowded. 6 hours was just to long, maybe some Marshals would help speed things up

Title pretty much says it all. The course is nice, but the pace took all enjoyment out of the round.

This is the first time I've played since November 2013. I didn't go back because of the way I had been treated by the starter who was beyond rude and cranky. So my friend and I decided to give the place another chance. Big mistake. We weren't told they were 45 minutes behind until AFTER we paid. Had we known they had booked a number of tournaments we would have left. After that long delay we end up playing a 5 1/2 hour round. Not a marshall to be found during that entire round but I will say the lady who worked the cart was very nice and very accommodating. For once Lou the starter was actually apologetic for the delay. I think it's the only time he didn't yell at me for something. I'm done with this place because $65 on the weekend isn't worth it without all the delays. The placements of the pins were ridiculous and nowhere near a flat spot for all 18 holes. I'm fine with a challenge but at least give us a fighting chance on the greens. Bottom line is I will never again play here.

This was the first time I ever quit on a round of golf because of the slow play, at over 4 hrs we were only on #13 so this was shaping up to be a 6+ hr round. We did not see a single marshal on the course and even with a foursome we were always at the next tee before the two some in from teed off. Very frustrating and unlikely to return to this course

I thought it was a great course. It is as beautiful as an course I've ever played. Felt like I was playing in the Tahoe Forest! Staff was great course was great.
