Regulation at Las Positas Golf Course

First time playing Las Positas and I found it to be a good experience. Staff is friendly and the greens are in excellent shape. Got through the round in 3.5 hours and didn't have to wait on any tee or feel "pushed". Allowed one single to go thru and he probably finished in 2.5 hours.

Only detraction was some standing water on the course but given that it is the start of a heat wave, I understand. I will go back again.

Worst conditions since I have been playing here in the past 30 years. Sad to say I will stay away from this GC for awhile.

1. They had tee time booking issues and were 45min behind schedule. Our tee time of 11:44am didn’t start until 12:30pm.

2. Overbooked and too many people on the course playing. Pace of play was extremely slow. We didn’t even finish our round and left early at 6pm.

3. Also dangerous with that many players on the course. Also got hit with balls on our fairway from neighboring holes. Balls flying everywhere. I also had my 12 year old son and he almost got hit.

5.5+ hours for a round of 18. The club and marshal must do better to respect pace of play.

Our Sunday, pre-8am (Sun.) tee time delayed 15 mins. That by itself is no biggie, but come to find out they let groups of 5 Amateurs walk... from the blacks! The marshal told us at the beginning the multiple groups (at least 3) "play" same time every Sun., but they are quick.. ha! We would've never reserved or played knowing it.

I am an amateur and respectfully play from the appropriate tees.

To the dude in the red shirt, you have no business playing from the blacks.

To the rest in those groups, it doesn't seem "age appropriate" to be playing from the blacks. Put the egos away and respect everyone else trying to get a round in.

I golf every week. Hadn't been here in awhile. Won't come back. Waiting 10 to 20 minutes each hole. Waste of time and money. Overpriced for the layout.

Buy some sand for the traps, they are filled with Wet Dirt. No need for a starter, your Tee Time will be delayed 15-30 minutes..

Not great conditions and normally slow pace of play. Staff is very friendly, restaurant is big and pretty good. They also have a 9- hole executive course and the conditions of that course are very good.

The photos on Golf now are not an accurate representation of the courses current condition. I really liked the layout of the course however the condition of the course was pretty poor. The grounds crew mowed the rough and left all the trimmings sitting on top of the rough all throughout the course. The bunkers were extremely wet with some having standing water approximately 2 inches deep. it was more of a wet compacted mud bunker than a sand bunker, The par 5, 18th hole was closed as they were replacing the fairway and an alternate par three was added in its place. The greens were not aerated but for some reason there was a thin top coat of sand on them. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Pot holes, no grass, odd layout, mud spots

The only positives were the cheap beer prices

The staff was just short of being rude, not only with me but with other customers as well.

We were also overcharged and made us feel as if it was my fault.

Conditions getting better from the last time (about a year ago). Didn’t notice much dirt patches in the fairways as before. Finished in 4 hours walking so no complaints. One hole was closed for maintenance so had a temporary par 3 in its place. But still great value on a hot deal

Las Positas is a good course with interesting and diverse holes, sneaky lurking water hazards and excellent greens and tee boxes. This course is going thru a full fairway redo of #18, so a short hole is provided to make it 18 holes. The green for that hole is a little rough, so just take the automatic 2 putt once on the temp green. The only other negative is the number of geese - unfortunately a national nuisance on golf courses!
