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.

Good practice course

The course is pretty well-laid out with two nice par 4's along the way. We enjoyed our play and appreciated the new Covid safety protocols in place. Easy to walk the course and the pace of play kept us to about a 2-hour finish for 9 holes. If you choose to go around again, the discount the price. We finished with enjoying the local BBQ restaurant which was fabulous! The brisket was excellent and I look forward to coming back to try the pulled pork nachos. Super friendly folks and made for a nice finish to our day.

It was pleasant

Nice short course. Two par 4s that are driveable. Fairways are lined with trees to limit how much errant shots run away. Enough shape to the holes to present fun problems and punishment is light enough to keep the course easy and fun. Greens are slow/sticky.
