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.

Great finishings par 3 hole. Lost some balls when off the first cut due to grass being too high.
Hello, lyonli. Thank you for leaving us a review. We are sorry to hear your experience was anything short of 5 stars, but we hope you will give us another try in the future. Thank you for choosing Gilroy Golf Course.
SLOW PLAY
I played yesterday with a couple of guys from San Jose had a good time the only negative was a piece of play It was awful had to wait on every hole
Need a marshal at hole 1/10.
It was great for nine holes but had to que to play back nine because the same holes are replayed. If there was a marshal directing who gets to play, perhaps alternating between players on hole 1 and 10, it would be more enjoyable.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We apologize for any inconvenience you experienced with the repetition of holes. Your suggestion about having a marshal directing play is appreciated and will be taken into consideration. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the first nine holes, and we hope to provide a more enjoyable experience for you in the future.

Ownership needs to make a little more effort
This was my home course in high school and I’ve had many memorable rounds here. However the place has become more of a circus, as bad as Gavilan down the street. No course management, groups of 5 or 6 playing in front of an older twosome, and when called on about it at the pro shop I’m asked what do you want me to do. Your job, perhaps? It’s a holiday for crying out loud. It’s not worth the price of admission.
Driving range is atrocious, not worth $6 to get only 2 balls that might have been born after the Red Sox last won a World Series. Apparently there ARE twelve shades of yellow on a golf ball with no dimples left.
Restaurant - what restaurant? Signs and website says the place opens at 6:30 or 7, yeah more like 9:30 and that’s a maybe. Word of advice, call TWO holes ahead for a bite at the turn, and if you’re lucky and they answer the phone, your food might be ready. Maybe.
