Pretty play in the redwoods.

Beautiful course but needs more signage ie direction to next hole/club house, distance to drop zones & holes. We found carts coming at us when teeing off so a bit confusing. Unfortunately we hit into forward group on a blind hole.

Loved playing in the redwoods.

Good Sunday Morning Golf

Nice scenic course. Only criticisms would be that they had no scorecards for the first groups going out at 7am. Also the restaurant was closed as well at lunch. Otherwise the golf was good and greens were in great condition.

First time playing here

This is one of the more challenging courses I have played in the Bay Area, awesome layout with a great mix of tight fairways and wide open let it rip fairways, I can’t wait to come back again

Interesting and fun course to play

The putting greens are way too slow. Need to be more consistent with most every other golf course greens speeds. The tee boxes were in deplorable condition. They need to be moved daily to avoid this. Everything else was fantastic.

Nice views and people but won’t be back

Geographical nightmare. Sloped fairways made it impossible to hold a tee shot even with a dead center shot on 75% of the holes. Greens were not consistent making it hard to judge. Some fast, some slow and what is it with California not repairing ball marks? Frustrating. As much as I wanted to like this course, Getting there was aggravating (terrain) but pace of play and only 10-20% of shots being on level ground and on grass was enough to make me spend my money elsewhere next time. I went at 12:30 on a Wednesday and it played like a Saturday afternoon. So slow and no starter or Marshal’s to help keep pace. There’s better courses for the same or less money.

One of the Best Public Courses

Tilden was a great course! This will be my new weekly course. The views were amazing and the holes were the perfect amount of complexity. Great value, great views, great location. The coyotes, birds, and deer were everywhere!

The Berkeley Hills

It was a cold, windy and foggy day. The driving range was out of balls and the picker was broken. Otherwise, I generally love this course. It is not long, but it has some nuanced features. You will see plenty of redwood trees and possibly a coyote and some wild turkeys.

A True Physical Challenge

Most beautiful course in the the bay! A true peaceful and humbling challenge. Several elevated tees with awesome views. Stretch those legs if you walk the course. Grass is cut is fantastic. Trees are being trimmed at this time. But does not effect the play. Come early and take advantage of the chipping and putting area. Great place to practice your pitch. The range is huge. Two levels.

Hilly nightmare

Very very hilly, fairways were a mixture of mud and grass, you didn’t know where the next tee was half the time, they need better signage. I won’t play there again

Not my favorite course

Tee boxes chewed up, greens pretty beat up (why can't people fix their ball marks?) some of the holes are pretty stupid. Other then that I had a good time with some nice people...
