Great Course for Quick Play

Careful for frost warnings on the course. 7am is too early until the thaw begins by 815.

Try to get out before the regulars or you will have to play extra balls to kill the wait time

Otherwise Sunken Garden is an awesome course for anyone’s game experience

Love This Course

This course is always fun. Just the right amount of challenging. My only complaint would be that it’s popular and the course can get backed up. Otherwise, it’s awesome.

Laid back course but strict rules

Mostly par 3 course, average conditions. Strict rule on having your own clubs and bag even though it's a really short course. They have rentals.

Solid course

Fun little par three course.

They still have not fixed the 2nd hole tee box, so you’re playing a par three not four. Nice course, not challenging but fun to practice your iron play. Greens roll great

Great course

It’s a great course, a little slow in the weekends but overall 2.5 hours 9 hole wasn’t too bad.

Quick 9-hole course of decent value

It was my first time playing a 9-hole course here and in the Bay Area. Pace of play was fast and finished 9 holes in about an hour and a half (with one partner). Found the course fun and straightforward. The course itself was not in the best shape, and the tee box on #2 was on the fairway. Would definitely come back though for a quick game after work.
