Corica Park - South Course

Beautifully recently remodeled “Australian-style” Course. Relatively flat layout adjacent to Oakland airport and the bay. But the rolling hilly roughs and bunkers is a bit challenging as there aren’t many trees or other natural hazards.

Those giant greens are tough, no problems getting on in 2–3 on most holes even on the par 5’s, but the 3 putts once on will get you in the end and make you pull out your hair.

Nice new pro shop, restaurant, courtyard, new blue carts with gps range and map app.. but didn’t redo the bathrooms or the men’s locker rooms? I assume same for women’s side. Why not finish the whole job?

Second time I've played the course and again enjoyed the round. Being a links course the wind typically comes into play providing a challenge. The course was in excellent shape, a few brown spots in some of the fairways, but not unexpected at this time of year. However, the greens were still in excellent shape, fast and true. Diffidently plan on playing the course again.

I think their greenskeepers needs new glasses, all the water they should be putting on the greens is all over the cart paths. You might as well save $75 and putt on your driveway. Stupid.

$65 for Wednesday morning round with punched greens

When I asked the golf shop attendant why they didn’t aerate the practice green when they are aerating g the rest of the golf course, they responded”we never aerate the practice green”

When I asked why they don’t inform customers that they are aerating while they check in the day of, the response is:

“ because it doesn’t really affect gameplay.“

I suspect that the folks at the front desk do not play much golf. Call in advance and request to speak with the superintendent if you wish to know any current facts about golf course conditions

Great layout, awesome greens. Makes for an great round and walk.

Corica Park south course in Alameda is a very good course. The greens are in immaculate shape and the fairways are very good also.

The course is interesting but not too difficult.

We played in 4.5 hours but had to wait a bit as the course was crowded.

Fantastic layout and maintenance. Greens were huge, perfect and fast. Great walk.

Nice layout... good fairways ... the greens are very true and not so easy... which it make it fun and Challenging... nice pace.... be ware of hidden traps... and treaky... shots.

I really like this course. I think they did a great job redoing the layout, greens, fairways... everything is new! The greens are really large and have crazy undulating surfaces, but they roll true and fast. Depending on the pin placement, each hole can feel like a different hole each time you play here.

And they have likely the best cart gps display I've seen so far. I'm looking forward to when both the 18's are open and available for play.

This was my first time playing this course. I found it a pretty good challenge, not one that you can simply drive, wedge, and putt in. You will definitely need some strategy and at times great touch to place the ball where it needs to be, especially on the greens which run EXTREMELY fast. The layout was nice, and the obstacles are well placed to keep the average golfer on his/her toes. The back nine can get a bit more windy, but not awful. I thought the driving range was nice and so was the putting green, but I did not see a place to chip. The carts come with a touchscreen display which shows hole location, distances, scores, flyovers and even allows you to order food right from it.

For the value of after 5 p.m, $30 + $15 for cart, I think it was a great deal for how well maintained and manicured this course is.

Impressive design for a flat piece of property. Good bunkering and tough green complexes (very firm right now but hopefully will soften up with time). It is nice to see a tired old course come back to a great second life, more cities should invest in their golf courses like Alameda did!

The fact every review is not 5/5 stars blows my mind. The new renovations to this course make it the best muni course in the bay area, if not the country. Greens are fast and roll true, fairways and rough are LUSH, and the tee's can be set-up and played for any skill level. It is not worth your time to go to TPC Harding Park considering the value you can get on the South Course. The food in the restaurant is really good too! There are a lot of folks from the general public who eat there everyday.
