Dont teust the front staff

Our group called in their tee times and were told 27 qith a 3 dollar reserve fee, I reserved through Golfnow, all of us were charged 30 dollars so where does it say a 3 dollar fee than still pay 30 dollars to play walking not with a cart. Simply due to the fact that they stole money from all of us is why I will not go back to either play or use the range. Players beware, I will be writing a letter of complaint to the City who actually owns the course and let them know how the management group is running things.

Santa Teresa 18

I had a 115pm tee time with a buddy. Beautiful day, greens and fairway were the best I've played on in the Bay Area. Very well taken care of. Unfortunately, we were enjoying it too much and got a visit from the Marshall to pick it up, but he was very polite and subtle (25 mins behind). I can't wait to play again. One of my best games!

Wish it was long ago

The greens are still sanding the greens. In a week or two they should be perfect.

I was a single and caught up with another group but they wouldn’t let me go by.

Now days they should have a marshal with so many weird people golfing nowadays.

The worst golf experience I have ever had.

This was the worst golf experience I have ever had. Being a golfer that plays 2-3 times a week. We booked a tee time for 7:30. My group woke up at 5:30 am drove an hour to get to the course. When we arrived we were told there was a frost delay and because of this the cancelled our tee time, (rather than pushing all the tee times back, like every course in human history does.) absolutely no customer service. When I spoke with Kevin, the pro shop manager, I was met with an attitude of “tough luck, it’s our policy, get over it”. It’s hard to believe a business in 2020 would take this kind of an attitude towards their patrons. I will not be back, please take note for any tee time you book in the morning.

Concrete Fairways

I've played Santa Teresa many times and enjoy this course, overall. The front nine plays more like a parkland course while the back nine has a mountain-esque feel to it with lots of fun elevation changes. That being said, the fairways are in TERRIBLE shape. I don't mind being penalized if I hit a shot off the fairway but if I put one down the middle, the second shot shouldn't feel like it's being hit off of a cart path. The fairways are incredibly hard and difficult to hit off of. I hit more shots thin today than I have in the last six months combined. If you're going to keep your course in this condition it's robbery to charge $50+ for a round. Until further notice, I'll be avoiding this course, unfortunately.

long wait and slow pace

I arrived early to warm up. That was way too early. As it turned out, with a 12:45 tee time, we didn't get out till close to 1:30. And then the pace of play was horrendous. Waited at every hole. And was only able to complete just over half the course! They know this and they should space out the tee times, particularly on a Saturday when many slow players are out and they are booked solid.

Played again here

It was nice to play here again after many years. They were very good about sanitizing the carts, and the course had not changed from what I remembered. Greens were decent.

Way over priced

Luckily I booked a twilight time to save a little bit of $. The price for carts is the most outrageous thing I've ever seen. $18 per player. Its not like they have GPS on them and they are always dieing on people. We couldn't even finish our round because most people walked , im guessing due to the cost of a cart. 4 hours should have been plenty of time to finish. Also the tee times are way too close together. The course was really congested. Maybe give a group at least 15 minutes before letting the next group out. 5 minutes isn't enough time. I most likely won't go back until something is done about all of the problems. I understand they need to make money but we are trying to have a good time out there without feeling rushed and would like to play the full 18 since that is what we paid for.

Good course

First time here. Really good course and really wide fairways. Definitely enjoyed it. If you’re a walker, there are a couple steep holes, but overall a fun experience. Please note, it’s a public course and some greens are pretty beat up. Overall, definitely a good time.
