Confusing

For a 9 hole course it has a couple of nice long drives for you but the tees & the holes aren’t marked very well.

I think it was hole 3 that isn’t marked at all & keeps you walking around trying to find a tee box or a sign. That was a well spent 10 minutes. Stupid. Tee box 4 an elevated box looking straight off on to hole 5 green. No marker saying that the hole 4 is around the corner. I hit 2 beautiful shots (err I mean 1) just off the green. Feeling pretty good about the shot, I walked down noticing the hole to the left, realizing I tee’d off to the wrong green. I was thrilled!!! A wasted tee shot & I’m not walking up the hill to tee off again. Little things you take for granted.

Course in great shape

I played on a beautiful fall morning--it was chilly when I teed off on 1, but by the time I was on the 4th tee in the sunshine, I peeled off my outer layer.

They had just mowed the fairways and greens, so the course was in excellent condition.

If you've played here before, then you know that there are 4 tees that are basically mats, and that there's no hole longer than 375 or so. It's still narrow in places, and misses can be penal. Still, a fun course to play especially when it was fairly empty as I could get in 9 holes in about 75 minutes.

An adequate course

This course was fine for the price. Beautiful scenery, but greens were pretty poor shape, some of the tee boxes were strange and made of Astro turf, and the course fairways were really tightly packed.

Great for kids

Perfect track for my seven year old. Not too stodgy, not too long, and not too nice for a kid just trying to learn and be with his dad. Good for me too as there was enough challenge without being concerned if my son was breaking etiquette (impossible here).

Fun, scenic 9 hole course

A great little gem of a golf course. Although the par 4s are short they offer up a challenge. Great views of Mt Tam and redwood lined fairways make for a wonderful round. You might even see a few deer.

Yardage Markers

Are the yardage markers current? If so, I hit can hit the ball much farther than initially thought.

I know this is weird but MV used to have amazing sand traps. They are now very hard.
