Regulation at Las Positas Golf Course

Course is in good spring shape. Greens appear recently aerated but mostly recovered. Pace was reasonable — completed our middle-day weekend round in 5 hours.

Be sure to bring enough water, there are no refill stations on course.

Another 6 hour round on a Saturday. They pack people onto the course and then don’t manage them at all. Don’t come here on a weekend unless you like waiting on every single shot.

I wished I had known. Suffered a lot to make par being a mid handicap.

White was moved to red. And blue was moved to black.

Not encouraging for mid handicappers

The good: the greens are in great shape, rolling fast and true. The food at Beeb’s is solid and the bar staff are nice.

The bad: the pace of play here on the weekends is awful. This course is worth playing, but only on a weekday if you call ahead to make sure there aren’t any leagues or groups teeing off before you. On the weekend expect to spend 5+ hours, no matter what time you tee off. I’ve played here 2 Saturday mornings in 2025 so far and both rounds clocked in at about 5:20. They don’t have a regular on-course Marshall and for whatever reason people play slow here with no repercussions.

I thought Las Positas was making some improvements, but yesterday’s round that was proven wrong. It took us 5 hours and 40 minutes to play the round and there was not a marshal to be seen on the course. They simply don't care about pace of play. They just pack people on and forget about it.

This was the fastest round we have ever played on a weekend. They also seem to be taking better care of the course lately.

Maybe they hired a new superintendent but this is the first time it appears they are doing something to improve course conditions. They have installed walkways in and out of some greens and they actually had some fairways blocked off so that some grass would grown on the dirt. Could be a turning point!

Course was in good condition. Cart lady had drinks snacks and a great attitude. Could use more ball washers. Pace was extremely slow, only completed 16 holes got too dark, had to call it a day after 5 hours .

Saturday morning tee time around 8 am. It took 4 hours and 10 minutes to get to hole 13 and we just left or else it would have been a 6+ hours round. Fairways are wet and soggy even though it hasn't rained in the past 10+ days. Disappointing.

This course was really nice but difficult to find shots in certain areas that weren’t directly in the fairway. The weather conditions for the few days prior were a little soggy so I can understand how they weren’t worried about cutting the grass with it being wet outside but it has definitely been longer than that since some of the areas had been maintained. It was my first time playing this course and it was my fault more than anything that I wasn’t in the fairway to begin with, but I had more than three shots that were just off in the first cut that could not be found. With that being said there is plenty of other areas where you can pick up more than what you had lost and was overall a nice course. Thanks to the pro shop manager and everyone else at the facility for what you do, will definitely be back and hopefully with more fairways hit in regulation.
