Corica Park - South Course

Get private country club caliber greens for public course prices here. These greens are a fast, undulating roller coaster of a ride and the course has far better drainage than courses in SF and Oakland, meankng your ball still runs out after a few days of rain.

A good variety of lengths on the par 3s, 4s, and 5s make this a fun course.

A few tips:

- you're better short than long here most of the time.

- watch out for the lake on #10. You're better off with a lay up.

- the fairway bunkers can be rather penal with steep faces, avoid at all costs. With wide fairways and holes right next to one another, you're better off in the next fairway than a fairway bunker.

- 9 times out of 10, you need one more club than you think on #5 and #16, two into-the-wind par 3s.

Drains so well and the underlying course base absorbs so much moisture. Very few soggy spots and the greens were immaculate. The course had no internet connectivity so they let us play and come back to make payments later. Great staff, great course. Can’t wait for the North Course to open!

First time playing. Impressed at layout and quality of course.

Best public greens in the bay. Fun and challenging layout.

Here’s the catch….any tee time after 8am will take 5-6 hours. Before 8am, its like golf in 2005. Before 8am this is my favorite course, after 8am its not worth the time.

The marshalls do nothing. Ive playes 80 rounds at Corica over the past year - Ive never seen a marshall address slow groups in a meaningful way. The marshalls are con artists and Patel is ok so long as he keeps bring in money. The ownership acts like karma isnt real, he also plays a bs malbon bag like the pretentious fool he is. Hope karma catches up to him and his family

Sincerely,

A golfer whos played corica since 97, and still plays 3x a week.

Alameda Illuminati is real. Corica has 10 minute tee times until they don’t want to. This is why this course is 6 hours people…!

Starter barks out tee times loudly: 7:00, 7:10, 7:20, 7:30.

We get to our time, 7:40, and as we walk up to the Starter he says “We have a 7:35 AM tee time”

We inquire as to why, we get no answer.

We joke about how slow the course gets.

Starter barks back, “It’s a Public Course, you need to expectations”.

So we cannot have expectations that Corica will uphold their tee time sheet, but the moment you ask, it’s sit down and shut your mouth.

This isn’t new. Founders run this place. Might as well be private, oh wait, they want the City’s Money too.

Hope the Starter enjoys his free golf, the injected 5 minute tee times whenever Management wants should more than pay for it.
