Blackberry Farm Golf Course
About
Situated along the banks of Stevens Creek, Blackberry Farm Golf Club in Cupertino has a scenic and tranquil setting amongst forests of mature trees. The layout features narrow fairways lined with trees and small, gently undulating greens. Accuracy is essential for scoring well on this golf course, especially since there are come subtle but tricky elevation changes to contend with. Even though it's a nine-hole course with only par 3s and par 4s, it still offers a great opportunity to improve your short game skills. There is a large lake that provides the occasional water hazard and the bunkering is minimal but strategic. The holes have interesting designs that will force even advanced golfers to carefully strategize. Blackberry Farm provides an excellent round of practice for an affordable price.

Great day in Cupertino
Weather hard to beat - golf game not quite as good. Can hardly wait for the surrounding improvements to be completed.
Lunch time play
Great 9 holes course with several of the greens being a little tricky due to being domed. We always enjoy playing this course even though the water hazard is dry.
A good practice course
The course has been under renovation for the pass few months. It should be done soon. I like how they are beautifying The last two or three holes. Some the greens of the other holes still have lines of uneven ground. The facilities was basic and the fairways are short but the course still make a good practice course for beginners. Advanced folders will find this course uninteresting.
This is a friendly course for the beginning golfer. Go there and enjoin
Go there and enjoy! The staff is friendly, the facilities nice and the greens well groomed.
Course in Good shape
Grass and greens are in good condition despite the ongoing drought. This is a very short, up and back 9 hole course. We played on a holiday and it was a bit backed up however, a local told me you can have the course to yourself on weekdays. Fun, quiet place to work on your short game. Good deals to be had at GN.
bang for the buck
Small but friendly place hidden by the hills of Cupertino. The last hole has been temporarily shortened and is still under remodeling, but they are making fast progress. Another bonus, the water hazard is dry so you won't lose so many balls :-)
watch out for #6
Blackberry Farm is a good 9 hole course that you will need to play very well to leave with a Par score. It has trees along most holes that make you split the fairway, and there are a couple of 270+ holes, 3 of 170+ along with the shorter par 3's. Hole 6 is a short uphill shot to the toughest green on the course. Stay below the hole for the best chance to putt out. The drawbacks here are the Tee boxes - pretty beat up, and sometimes the course gets backed up. It's a great choice for the days you can't play a full 18.
Under creek renovation
The city is renovating the creek so the course has several detours leaving it in less than desirable condition for the same cost we've paid in the past. There was no indication of this until we showed up to check in. Will not go back until it's done.
Friendly and Fun!
Blackberry is a friendly place with a laid back atmosphere. It's a good value and pretty easy course.
Course is in repair
Always nice to visit Blackberry except they are in the process of a major overhaul. The two par fours have been cut in half and the yardage at the temp tees is off. At $9 or a buck a hole there are better options if I drive 10 miles more. Looking forward to their improvements..
Advertising as 9 holes deceiving.
Because of construction to adjacent land, reducing the two short par 4s to 4 short par 3s, two with temp greens takes all the charm out of the golf course. Anything more than $7 and you're better off hitting a bucket of balls. Look forward to seeing the construction finish.
Course shortened - 8th and 9th under construction
8th and 9th holes are under construction, so 2nd and 4th have been split into two holes. This would be ok but the greens in the middle of those two are utterly rubbish. Just weeds, not even a cursory mowing. Wait for the course construction to be over before playing here.
Had a great time.
It was going slow because two holes are closed. So I got paired with another player. Had a great conversation through the game. Nice place quiet and beautiful trees. Easy course.
Terrible value
This course advertises 9 hole play when in reality the 8th and 9th holes are obstructed by construction and the administration has attempted to ameliorate this situation by splitting the only two par 4's on the course into two par 3's. The result is disappointing yardage and more than 4 holes just over (or under) 100 yards. I could have taken my money to the driving range and gotten more satisfaction from my money. This course did nothing more than provide pitching practice for me. For two players (one being a compete beginner) it took us just under an hour to complete 9 holes. Take your money elsewhere, even the "hot deals" aren't worth it.
Renovations
I booked through GolfNow for a Sunday afternoon. It was never mentioned until I arrived that the course was being renovated. They took out the 8th and 9th, and the 2 par 4's were each split into 2 Par-3's. There was a little sign on the clubhouse door, but I'd already pre-paid. 2 of the par-3's have greens that used to be fairways for the Par-4's, so putting is a mess.
Cheap.
Almost always easy to get a Tee Time on short notice, especially for a single player.
Great short course for a quick 9. Same day tee times and usually no waiting.
Course and greens need some attention, especially to watering.
a cagey old vet
I used to play this course twenty years ago once a week. It is still challenging. The greens are very small and convexed, yet not too fast. I played solo so the urge to score low wasn't fueled by competition. I was behind a slow threesome and I hit more than one tee shot and approach shot on some holes, sorry. I hope they bring back the ponds as I missed the frogs splashing and an occasional lowing.
surprisingly disappointing
Ive played at blackberry enough times to know what to expect from this golf course. It is a 9 hole and being that it is public and inexpensive, you cant expect too much. Unfortunately my last visit was not up to par. Large portions of the course were flooded, many of the the tee boxes had many unprepared divots, there were many patches of dead grass all over the course. The worst was a construction fence that lined the last couple of hole of the course. It seemed like they were in the middle of a failing course overhaul. This may have all been understandable if they had made that clear before my visit. I'm really glad i booked through golfnow and did not pay full price it would have been extremely disappointing.
room for improvement
Great course for family, friendly, fairways can be improved.
At the end of the game, to top it a cold beer at the blue Pheasant and good food!
