Gilroy Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
It might not have a lot of competition, but Gilroy Golf Course dubs itself as the "Best 11-Hole Golf Course in America." Built by local farmers and businessmen in 1923, this unique 11-hole routing east of Santa Cruz features small greens and wide, tree-lined fairways set along the Uvas Valley that has changed very little since its founding. Though not a full 18, the golf course is still plenty challenging, including the 245-yard par-3 8th hole, a scenic tee shot considered to be the course's signature. Gilroy Golf Course has suitable BBQ and outing facilities for larger groups.

We booked 4 tee times for a family golf outing the day after Thanksgiving. The staff was fantastic. The course was in good shape and fun to play. The food in the restaurant is excellent! Everyone we encountered was extremely accommodating, friendly, and professional. Love Gilroy Golf Course!
Gilroy city golf course
Very good course for me as a beginner and the price.
Wish to be improved some. Attitude of counter employee shall be more business like, not the lazy government employees staying in the closed window excuse of Covid. No signs of pricing such as cart, range ball, etc.
Extremely dirty restrooms. basically dirty around the club house.
We all loved once in the field.

Great little layout and course is improving around the landscaping very fun course
good enough to enjoy the day
nice little course on the hill. a small piece of land with clever idea. you play most of the holes twice. but that is good if you play for the first time. we played on Monday so there were not that many people. the pace of play then not so bad. i think i would avoid weekends and holidays. staffs were nice. restaurant was closed. not a bad course. I recommend this course.

Excellent course
Beginners might want to avoid this course, as it is tricky and you slow down groups behind. this course is beautiful, has wildlife, great food, what more could you ask for… 5/5 in terms of course and staff over all. only thing i would complain about, is one older gentleman worker who is always giving the could shoulder. even tried to joke around with him a bit but just stone cold sarcasm back. don’t know if it’s just because i’m a younger player. other than that, 10/10 come check this place out!!
Pace of play and grouping
Course was in decent condition. Greens were ok. Pace of play waited on every hole. To many two someone’s on the course. Some golfer hitting two /three balls off the tee when sometime two groups waiting. Never was there a marshal on the course.. had to play through sprinklers running during mid day
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Gilroy Golf Course, and we hope to see you again in the future.
awesome place
great deals, awesome staff. great course overall. only complaint is walkers slowing groups down. other than that enjoy your time!
App is very confusing
I selected date and course.
But I realize the date was not selected and booked at same day of clicking.
Next day, I found the tee time was wrong and my payment was gone.
The Golfnow App is very confusing and I made a mistake. My money was gone...
There is no way to contact to ask or refund.
