New Name...same goat pastures

This is my first time playing here since they changed the name from summit point to the bay club. Nothing has changed other than an increase in prices, fairways are still bare and dead, blue tee boxes are hard pan and weeds and the greens are mediocre. Pace of play is 2.5 - 3hrs per 9 and 20 minutes behind schedulded tee times. Only play this course if you are dying to golf and every other course (including golfland) in the south bay are booked.

Great course!

A lot of the reviews are for the old course or during renovation but we went recently after they renovated the back 9 and this course was great! If you have the chance get in on this course now before they start filling up and raising the prices, it was challenging with a lot of hills beautiful views! definitely recomend

Pace of Play

I don’t know what happened but our tee time was delayed by 30 minutes. The course is in great condition but today was soooo slow. We spent 1 hour and 45 minutes waiting at the tees combined. The staff was super apologetic but we were supposed to tee off at 10:48 and ended up teeing off at 11:20. Great food and there’s a cart girl but we almost didn’t finish cause it got dark. The greens roll super quick which makes it very challenging. Wish they were a little slower

45 minute delayed tee time

First time playing this course. We payed $95 to play this course and they made us wait an hour to tee off. The Marshall allowed a group of 8 carts play in front and there was no sense of urgency or planning to smooth this issue out.

No apology or explanation from anyone which is completely unacceptable, especially at the green fee they charge it is complete joke. The round still took us 5 1/2 to play. Save your money and play elsewhere

If you’re used to playing San Jose muni or Sunnyvale this course will challenge you. Similar difficulty to coyote tournament.

Side hill lies

If you like the ups and downs of hilly play come on out and get some! Greens are in great shape as well as the fairways. Much better run course than before!

El Crapo!!

This used to be Summitepointe and we used to pay $30 per game then. They changed the name of the course and we got confused and booked by mistake on Golfnow for $100 a pop. Same old course and they think they are now pebble beach. Bad course for $100. Are you kidding me??!!

Lacks the $100 course appeal

Greens are much better with the new management, but overall conditions are not worth the price. Go play cinnabar instead at this price.

November round - course was good

Very friendly staff, Greens in good shape, aprons beautiful

Nice bunkers, great sand

Greens play tough, correct approach shot placement is rewarded

Some risk reward tee shots, as well as playing smart when driver isn’t needed.

The par threes require skill to score well, poor tee shots leave tough up/downs

Elevation changes abound, so be prepared to make adjustments to your distances

Great views of the south bay

Too pricey for current course conditions

They are trying to fix the course but until it is in better condition they shouldn’t try to get get over the top green fees. Even though the course was dry it was cart path only, wish this was mentioned up front, I would have passed. The course will probably be very nice in a couple of months.

On the right track but still not there

Improving from its all time low in 2019 when it became a dog track. Re-brand and some decent money have improved the course, but it's nowhere near where it was 15+ years ago when it was a top course in the area. Still needs a lot of maintenance work.
