Generally a great, easygoing course but stuck behind super slow group

Love this course - relatively easy to get tee times, course is nice and well-kept. This round however, we got stuck I behind an insanely slow group who spent 10 minutes every hole wandering around looking for balls - we actually weren’t that bothered, but the group behind us was in some sort of rush (asked us why we weren’t teeing off when the group before us was clearly still in the middle of the fairway) and being stuck in between them was pretty unpleasant.

Tilden course review

Keep your ball on the fairway theres plenty of hazards. This is a short but challenging course and it is walkable although number one and number nine are a bit steep uphill. They make a good and reasonably priced hamburger too.

Worst ever

Tilden had the greens were plugged and sanded. Didn’t know that when I made my starting time with Golf Now. Maybe I’ll play in September.

Not impressed

Full price for 17 holes. Makes shift hole with a patch off closely mown grass for a green. This hole was soft due to being in the shadows of large trees. The make shift green was terrible to try to putt on. Was fist tee time and this makeshift green was full of holes and foot prints and deep spike marks. Not to mention that it’s a down hill 87 yard par 3 that’s replacing a 350 yard par 4. What a joke. Staff was very unfriendly and rude.

Tough course

Tilden is my home course. I think it is one of the most challenging courses around. It is a mountain course and difficult to play.

Poorest maintained course in the Bay Area

I don’t know where to begin! This course wasn’t just getting aerated, it was like putting on sand and fertilizer! Also, I’ve never teed off on a practice mat! That’s how bad a hole on the back 9 was. For a former Bay Area gem to be handled this way while paying weekend prices is a farce. If you love nature, walk the park. For Berkeley to be so environmentally friendly, they completely shanked the upkeep on Tilden Park.

Take your leisurely day elsewhere when you want to enjoy 18. It sure isn’t here. Sad to say but I won’t be back until they do something about the horrible greens and tee boxes.

Fun Winter Round at Tilden Park

We had a great Winter round at Tilden Park. It was a leisurely paced event that fit the Winter state of the course. With long shadows, it is more important to stay on the fairway to preserve sight lines. Overall, it was a wonderful experience! The grounds were quite muddy, but the course is due to be aerated in the near future.

Almost no maintenance at this course

The staff seemed to be friendly and the layout seemed decent. However, everything else was lacking. Absolutely no maintenance of the course. The fairways had almost no drainage so were a risk to walk. The greens were the worst condition I have played at in the area (I golf usually many course and every weekend). No drainage on the greens and looked like players didn't fix any debits.

There was no official on the course or any cart lady. People said course is better I summer when there is no rain.

It was my first time at the course but I won't take another risk and won't be back.
