Course not in good condition and certainly should not be that expensive. Other courses in the South Bay are cheaper and better

I enjoy Bay View

The greens are consistent and challenging. The pin placement forces you to play smart. Tee boxes are decent, some forward tee setups leave little space to tee up. Fairways in good shape, under repair areas minimal. Overall a great course I enjoy playing.

Great greens. Rough fairways

The course played well if you're a good target golfer. Lots of under repair areas and the tee boxes were rough. It looked life they were making headway in repairs. Would recommend, fun course.

Consistently Improving

Our group of three tee'd off at noon on a Saturday behind a twosome with no one in front of them for at least 6 holes. The price point coupled with past reviews is the cause. I have played here a few times since the course changed owners and has gone under renovations and each time I come back, it's consistently better each time. The tee boxes were nice and found the fairways in much better shape. The greens are certainly the toughest part of the course and you must be below the pin at all times. While putting downhill or the sides are very difficult, the greens were smooth and well maintained. There are patches of dry/missing grass on most holes however they are all off the fairway and I don't expect a course to be maintaining them during our 3 year drought. I love the course layout and how you can play any number of shot choices on all par 4's and 5's. Most comfortable golf carts in the area with GPS and bluetooth with fine dining and adult beverage choices. There are large areas where you can't drive your cart on every hole but that's your fault for hitting a bad shot off target. Didn't see a food/drink golf cart during the round but they offer ice chests. Being able to play 18 holes on a Saturday for $75 with a subperb cart on great greens in less than 4 1/2 hours is more than fair for the Bay Area. We'll be back.
