Greens were in very bad shape. Large areas with no grass created unpredictable ball path.. They had also been recently aerated and sanded. Crabgrass was plentiful on the fairways and rough. There were also several swampy areas near the green.

Go somewhere else

Tee boxes are chopped up and the greens look like a desert. Save some money and play at Rancho or Pruneridge. This course is a joke!!

Best 9 hole putt in the bay

Most challenging flag placement that leads to challenging putting. The tee boxes are a challlenge too.

Go somewhere else

Poor course, poor management, poor attitudes by staff. This used to be one of my favorite quick courses to play around. The staff and course has definitely changed for the worse. Sunnyvale City Council should shut it down and sell the property at this point. Would be a better use than the shame it is now.

Sweet short games even for beginners

This short 9 hole course offers a good practice for your short game. With only two par fours and the remaining par threes this place is a good well maintained course. The Greens can be better.

Fairways great

The course is nicely laid out, but the tee boxes were chewed up and not very level. The greens were both rough, brown and could use attention.
