Tilden Park Golf Course

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.

almost perfect. in december this will be the nicest course in the land

Beautiful area and interesting layout, with a lot of up and down holes, but tee boxes are all jammed in, I've never heard so many people yell fore in a golf course. In the back 9, you're pretty much teeing off less than 10 yards yards away from the greens, and most left/right misses are dangerous. I usually don't worry about safety at all, but felt uneasy a few times. Also, the course has no signs, at times it was hard to know where to go and where to tee off from; a bunch of tee boxes are "blind", and you can't see them from the cart paths. I often had to hike up to see if I was at the right tees. Conditions were fair; fairways were very uneven, and some greens were dry and impossible to put on. Tee boxes were all destroyed.

Golfed on a Thursday at 12:40. I expected decent pace of play based on time of day and because there were plenty of open tee times open. One of the slowest rounds I’ve ever played. I saw the Marshall one time the whole round and didn’t see him talk to the “very slow” group in front of us.

Beverage cart was out, which was a pleasant surprise and she was very polite and came around often.

2 younger male employees who I assume were the cart guys were smokin and jokin and skreeching the carts to a stop right behind the 1st tee box.

The course was in decent shape, one green was closed which was not advertised. The greens were inconsistent due to some having sand still from recent aeration (this was advertised).

Still one of the more scenic/beautiful courses in the area and the price is fair.

Love everything about the course EXCEPT the putting greens and thrashed tee boxes (everyone one of them). Played there in June the greens were perfect however ridiculously slow. This last outing, punched, sanded, dead spots everywhere on every putting green and still ridiculously slow. No decent golfer would tolerate such awful putting greens on an otherwise great course.

Great fun layout, but frustrating because when you book your tee time here through Golf Now you would think a golf cart is included in the price but that is not the case… this is an incredibly hilly and fairly long golf course that should absolutely have a cart included in the green fee instead they charge you another 16$ for a cart when you arrive, making the whole price not really worth it in my humble opinion.. I hope this helps

i only played the front 9 as the back 9 was getting punched and sanded. the front had been punched a few days before i playe d and there was a lot of sand covering all the holes so the puttinfg was terrible. the rest of the fairways and sand traps were in good condition. i think ill wait for a few weeks before attempting to play again

Practically every golf course in the Bay area are aerating their greens right now and Tilden Park is no exception, except for the fact that the greens are in the worst shape I've seen. Bare patches and spots, sand, shaggy and bumpy untrue rolls are what you can expect right now. I'd wait at least a couple of weeks until they get get them somewhat in order - it may take a lot longer - they are in really tough shape. I like the tough layout through the trees and rolling hills - it's often hard to find a flat lie on some holes! Play in a month or two would be my suggestion at this point and time.

Foggy pretty much the entire round. Couldnt see 15 feet in front of us. Played 90% of the round hoping we wouldn’t get hit by a ball since it was so foggy and since it was first time playing no clue where greens were and they were punched.

I played Tilden several times and rated a 4-Star. My low rating this time is largely due to lousy condition of the greens. Apparently they just punch them and filled holes with sand. They were damaged, rough, extremely irregular, and have large areas with no grass at all. They were not suitable for any level of play. Also the tee boxes were not mowed and I needed a 3” tee so the ball.can clear the grass. The course should have been closed.

Fun course. Maybe will try to walk it one day. Pace of play was slow, usually normal for weekends. Slowest greens I have ever played.

Bar and cafe understaffed and closed too early. Before 5 pm.

Speed of greens not consistent from hole to hole.

Many unfixed ball marks on greens.

Payments for green fees, carts between Golf Now and the Pro Shop were confusing.

Driving Range payments for buckets very confusing. It totally befuddles non-regulars who end up taking a long time and holding up long lines of golfers.

Greens are not in the best shape. Inconsiderate 3some in front of us. 1 person in the group would hold up play by talking on their phone. Reported this to the course marshal, but his response was cursory at best. 5 hour plus round on a Tuesday. Shouldn’t be happening. I hope they can make improvements soon, because I’ve always considered the layout here to be fun and challenging.
