Corica Park - South Course

I booked a 4 some for the South course 1 week in advance. When I arrived to the course I was instructed by the starter that we were playing the North course. I was a little confused as I had booked the South course and I was looking forward to playing it. Overall the North course was a great track but unfortunately because I was walking, I had no visibility on yardages since the course had yet to be mapped by SkyCaddie. It made playing the course more difficult and less enjoyable for me. Other than that, the staff was great and so was the facility.

On 3.27.2025 we were the 2nd group to go off, 7am. 2 people, one of whom works at Corica, played in a 2some in from of us. We waited on EVERY SINGLE SHOT because they took their sweet time. Although we finished in 4 hours and 20 minutes, it should have taken less than 4 hours. Did this person not understand that the first group sets the pace for the entire day? Shame on this employee for doing this.

Nice enough layout, I grew up in Alameda in the 60's 70's. The course is a nice enough layout but the costs for visiting senior golfers is way too expensive. $70 greenfees for walking? Monarch bay just down the road a much better value. And the greens are a lot more puttable. The greens at Corica are not fun. I play a lot in SF and the greens at Presidio, OlympicClub and Harding are much more fair.

This course is fun to play and just the right amount of challenge. It’s drains water after the rain so it’s my go to after storms.

The course is in good conditions and the greens are impeccable. Front nine is pretty wide open, with a back nine that values accuracy off the tee. Greens are firm and fast. Great challenge!
