Tilden Park Golf Course

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.

Tilden Golf Course is a beautiful place to play. Nestled into the hills of Berkeley, early morning brings turkeys deer and other wildlife. The early fog burns off by 6:30 and leaves the course wet with dew. The elevation changes add difficulty to the game, but are a part of the beauty of the course.

Tilden Park is a well kept public course in the hills above Berkeley.
While many Northern California course are drying out during the drought, Tilden Park looks and plays just fine with just a scant few areas showing brown grass (in the rough only).
Up & down hills with some narrow fairways to hit, thus gouts can challenge any golfer.

This is a beautiful and fun course. But...we had a 9:57 tee time on a crystal clear Sunday, no fog, no dew, no frost, and absolutely no reason for there to be a 30+ min. delay. And yet we didn't tee off until 10:30, and there began our 5 1/2 hr journey of errant golf balls, stale beer, nasty food, and the occasional golf shot. We won't be playing Tilden for a long while. Go Bears!

Overall course was in a good shape. It needs some improvemwnt on bunkers and pace of play. There are some areas that have water leaking problems

A great older course with some very challenging holes. The first three holes test you right out of the chute. A beautiful location, a little difficult to find, but worth the effort. Always busy so there is a lot of play. I would say that the average golfer will be doing something if they shoot their handicap at this course. I think it is a great course and will look forward to playing it again.

The course was in very nice shape but yet challenging. I will definitely go back again and play!!

Just went out for 9 holes on a hot day. Their was a couple of Tournaments on the Sunday I went and the play was very slow. People had to measure their distance. Took 3 hours to complete 9 holes. Nice course in the Oakland / Berkeley hills. Lots of wild life out on the Sunday as well.

Hilly course (no surprise given location). Tight spacing between some of fairways. Several 200 yard par 3's make it challenging. Very well maintained.

american golf can screw up anything. they seem to be trying with nice little fluff stuff.(banners, promotions, fancy mowing designs, newly painted tee blocks... etc. but miss on the main things. course conditions(tee to greens, and bunkers) speed and conditions of greens, speed of play. lack of staffing at 10th tee snack bar, course markings(red, yellow, and white stakes)

I truly enjoyed playing the course, it's challenging and beautiful, the staff is great, going to put it in my monthly rotation

Waiting around and being hit into. Story of the day.

I love this course, it gives you a bit of a challenge because its located in the Berkeley hills which gives a look at uphill and downhill holes. My past visit the course was in great conditions, I played after 12 and the greens were nice and firm like putting on marble. Overall a Great experience!

The course was in good conditions and the weather couldn't have been better.

Course was in great shape, but play was very slow. We were the first group behind a private tournament of ~100 guys which is probably why, but the round was nearly 6 hours! (normally I would quit early and/or complain but the weather was perfect and I was playing well, so I chose to ride it out). I also only paid $36 w/cart. I'm not sure I'd be back at full price, but under $40 is a good deal for this course.
