Greens need work

We were able to play the front nine in exactly 2 hours but for some reason, everyone got backed up at the 10th tee which led to a longer duration on the back nine. On the positive side, the course was greener than other courses I play, e.g. Lake Chabot, but the greens were very bumpy and in some cases had areas best described as ground under repair where you would have to move your ball to have a fair putt, e.g. browned out or scarred sections. I would still recommend the course just because of the challenging holes and overall flora and fauna,, e.g. beautiful trees, a number of scenic tee boxes, etc. Also saw a deer and a coyote during the round.

Great course, could use a marshal

Course was outstanding. Pace is slow. Lots of crossing over into parallel fairways. Foursome ahead of us playing multiple balls every hole. Could use someone to enforce pace of play.

Too tough to carry....

Course in nice shape, especially greens which are in prime condition. Last time I played here it was 98 degrees. I carried my bag and had to quit after 9. Due to exhaustion. This time w/ forecast of 68 degrees high, figured I'd give it another try. Despite the temp actually hitting 80+, I finished, but suffered the last nine and faded horribly. What walkers need to know: Despite it being beautiful scenically, it's an insanely hilly (every hole) course. No matter that I'm in great shape for my age (66), I recommend riding no matter your age. You will enjoy yourself more, and almost certainly play better. I will play Tilden (but NEVER WALK it) again.

Great Course in Berkeley hills

Tilden Park was a pleasant experience considering the cost. Having played Florida Courses for the past 20 year, the elevation change at Tilden, combined with the green landscape was visually striking. The course is well maintained and green; which is surprising considering the present drought conditions. The greens are smooth and true; but somewhat on the slow side. My only negative comment is the course is not well marked (hole #, yardage, navigation arrows to next hole). Regardless, I can’t wait to go back and play it.

Course is good but staff steals

We teed off at 6:00 am and we thought the pace of play would have been good, but it took almost 6 hours to play. The pace of play was terrible and the conditions for 6 am were clear. The weather was perfect to where you could see SF.

The greens were in ok good condition but the fairways definitely need help.

When we made the turn at 9:00 am the food wasn’t available but there was a guy there eating with other employees. . I would advise that they open the food shack at least 2 hours after the first group goes out.

We played and right when we left one of my buddies accidently left his range finder on the cart. We called literally 30 minutes after and they said it wasn’t there. We called multiple times to see if someone had turned it in but they did not. We were the 4th group out and when we parked the golf cart it was back in the cart barn so no other golfer could have seen it. Definitely know that they are not honest at Tilden. This is very sad considering this a sport of integrity. Where is Tilden’s management and employee integrity?

Nice Course Slow Greens

Love the layout and the course itself. Tee Boxes, bunkers, and fairways were good. Greens slow and long. Buddy is playing in a tournament there soon, and I hope they quicken them up before then.

Groups

Groups of children and skins players should be planned early or late in the day to improve the far below average pace of play. Bare spots around greens and in the fairway make the course unacceptable.

Not worth the money

The only positive thing I can say is the snack shack was great. The course was not in good shape. Not one tee box has grass :( tee times were to close and they had a tournament going on. :(
