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.

Quick, good pace, and works your putting
Nice and well maintained course. Greens hard to read so really challenges your putting..and some iron shots.
Fun executive 9 hole course
This is a fun executive 9 hole course. It is in good shape. The fairways are tight and there can be balls flying across from one to the other, but there is enough of a challenge for everyone to have a good time!
fun
Easy and fun course that you can play in about 1.5 hours or less. The elderly back it up sometimes, but everyone is super respectful. The best part of this course is the trees! Many courses are challenging, but because they are new (20-30 years old) you can pitch over any tree you come across, but at Blackberry, the pine trees are unforgiving and punish inaccuracy. Great starter course, plus it's at the base of the foothills, so the greens often have a slant or elevation which can be a challenge. I always play here after I take a lesson from a pro at a different course.
Course moves fast
Clean, friendly, and no delays. It's great that a nine hole course has some par 4's
Holes are too close to each other. Grounds aren't kept up very well.
Holes are too close to each other. Grounds aren't kept up very well. Tee boxes are uneven.
Great short game course
Features :
Small convex greens.
Good bunker placements.
Tree-lined fairways.
Bugs :
Hole number 3's tee box has been in a perpetual sorry state. Its green is also awful - unsuitable for putting.
Most of the tee boxes are not level (dont know if that is intended).
No water in the water hazards (it looks ugly).
Great course for average golfers.
The course is in pretty good shape, could use a little work and they should put water in the ponds. That would add a little challenge and it adds beauty to the course not to mention benefits the wildlife. The guys that work the proshop are very nice and accomodating.
Great 9 hole course for a beginner
This is a 9-hole course, great for the beginner. Has beautiful surroundings and the staff is very friendly and manage the course well. Has a really good restaurant with nice views of the golf course and the hills. Easy access from freeways
Nine hole course, flat, plenty of trees
This was a great place to take a beginning teenager. Easy enough to allow him to reach the green eventually, it was later on a weekday so we didn't slow anyone down.
No water this time of year but plenty of sand.
Friendly staff.
Very nice way to spend a morning or afternoon
I really enjoyed playing this course, I got to work my irons a lot, Beautiful tree lined fairways, also the greens were challenging. Not to long of a course , just a nice way to spend your morning or afternoon
Short executive 9 holes with narrow fairways on 2 holes
Pretty good to check and practice your iron shots. Trees can make your play a bit difficult, but overall for the money it is a good course for iron shots and for a few hybrid shots
Nice green and fairway..
It is excellent 9 hole golf course. good for seniors or beginners to practice golf swing, especially the iron!!
Local, convenient, 9 holes in 1.25 hours
Nice course to "tune up" my different swings.
Challenging par 3's.
Cupertino locals are Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful,
Friendly, Courteous, Kind,
Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty,
Brave, Clean, Reverent.
Great value and enjoyable experience
Pro's: Friendly staff, well maintained greens, quiet play, a good balance of both long and short holes
Con's: Tie boxes and fairways are worn due to winter months
Overall: a great value and fun to play
No bad
Tee boxes were sand boxes but greens were perfect. Pin placement was set next to steep drops which made the course go from easy to somewhat challenging. Lefty bad shots equal lost balls. No driving range but the $1 warm up area was nice. Practice chipping and greens were free. Course is on Stevens creek. Golfnow GPS had me waaay off. Staff very pleasant.
Watch out for the fast greens!
All the greens are small and "Domed", (slope away from the pin), with small rises to all edges of the green. A reasonable 4 foot putt could easily run four to five feet OFF the green!
Great for beginning golfers ...
This is an ideal course for beginning golfers and even those more experienced players looking to to improve their short game skills. A fairly straightforward layout offering some interesting challenges (trap guarded greens etc) on a few holes. Given the volume of inexperienced golfers that flock to this place the course is in reasonable shape and the greens are generally well kept. I could see that things could get backed up in some situations so pick your time to play. For $20 my 9 yr old son (new golfer) and I enjoyed a great afternoon of golf - he was thrilled to play and improve his skills and was able to shoot a 43. Courses like this enable new golfers to build their skills and confidence without being intimidated by the a more traditional 18 hole layout.
Great location and really pretty for the amount of money paid.
This is a well kept nine hole course that has a couple holes where you can take out your driver. The surrounding is very pretty and serene. You get the sense that you are off in the wilderness although it is right of Stevens Creek Blvd.
Short and sweet
This is my go-to course for a quickie. Tee boxes are a bit uneven, but the rest of the course is just as expected for a short Par-3 course, with a couple Par-4s.
