Gilroy Golf Course

Course conditions were terrible.

There were gopher holes everywhere throughout the course which caused one of persons we were playing with to take a fall. Grass length in the rough was anywhere from 4 to 5 inches long so it was nearly impossible to find your ball unless you were standing directly above it. Hole direction signs are confusing and need to be updated for clearer direction of course layout. The course had poor water runoff and grass was in bad condition despite it being November.

I've played in courses for far less cost and in way better conditions.

This is a decent place for people to learn how to play golf. The only issue is that several of the holes are too well guarded by a bunker or overhang hanging tree to block the green with no option for a conservative option.

I hate to write this review because I have played here multiple times and the staff are always kind and welcoming. However this time was completely different. We show up for our tee time which is one of the last times that you can play a full 18 without it getting dark, and we get told there is a league today and a 30 minute delay. We had no idea there was a league and we’ve played many Saturday’s without running into this. Some kind of warning would have been nice. Worst of all, some group comes in with their own golf cart and tries cutting the tee time in front of us after we had all waited 35 minutes extra to tee off. We walk to the tee box and that group argues with us saying it’s their turn to tee after we saw them arrive a couple minutes ago. We did not budge and eventually they start giving us attitude. They tried cutting the group after us as well but finally after the group behind us talked to the pro shop they made an announcement of what the order was. Ridiculous management. We did not even finish 18 because the first 9 was so backed up. That rude group have clearly been cutting people many times because not a single worker went up to them and said anything

Course is kept tidy consistently.

Certain holes with have dry greens, even sand, but have been putting in more work in the maintenance as of late.

I live just around the corner from the course so it’s my weekly course, but if it was out my way, I wouldn’t come here to often as there are other considerable courses at the price point.

Course condition is terrible. It is a $10-15 course max. I would not play this course again even if it was free.

Having played this course for years I could not have been more disappointed. First tee box littered with squirrel holes/mounds, fairways looked more like cow pastures, greens had dead grass or dirt patches. Trying to find positives was near impossible. No marshall to control pace of play. Had I not booked and paid on Golf Now I would have walked off after 3 rd hole and demanded a refund.

Gavilan golf course is a much better value and 6 minutes away.

Overall value of the money was great, HOWEVER...

Be prepared for horribly dry and hard fairways, huge areas of rock-hard dirt patches and areas in the middle of the fairways I would not use even my irons as the hardpack dirt was rock ridden. Hole 17 (par 5 headed up the hill) has the best conditions of the course on the entire course.

Overall play pace is decent, but for sure wishing for the rains to bring some moisture back to the course...

Gilroy GC is a fun day on the links! Very few people can say they have played an 11-hole course.... but that is just what you get here.

Basically, it is a 9-hole course mind set, but you get a surprise when you get to the 8th hole. Tee box is the same for 8 and 17, but one goes left and one goes right (totally different holes). Then 9 starts on one side of the hill and 18 the other. Again, different holes.... but a shared green.

If you like quirky and laid back, give Gilroy GC a try!

This is a fun little course. If you are looking to have a casual day out on the course with friends and family, you may want to consider playing here. Staff is friendly, course is in good shape and the surroundings are peaceful.

Course is challenging. Greens are fast and lots of ups and downs.

This place isn’t anything fancy, but it’s a good place to play the game. There’s always room for you and pals. Weather is great. People are friendly. I really enjoy a fun relaxing round. This is where you get that. Enjoy.
