I ranked course conditions as average, but because of our California draught, all public courses have suffered. All in all this course is pleasant to play, helpful for short game practice, and good value for the money. The staff have always been very pleasant.

Ok Golf course

For some reason the Par 5 272 yards on the 2nd hole has been shortened to a Par 3 110 yard. This leaves only 1 Par 5 on hole 6. Takes away some of the challenge of the course. Also there were a lot of grass clippings on the tee boxes and they were barren in spots. ;-(

Golf and Food are tops!

Sunken gardens is a hidden gem in Sunnyvale CA.

A short 9 hole course that is well maintained with a great price point for both the beginner and the professional! Not sure if the food or the golf is better?

Amazing Course

Beautiful course mostly well groomed greens. Lengthy tee boxes are in repair. But do not let that cloud your decision. Plenty of course to use

Sizable range and putting practice.

Terrible shape

I play there often. I got no notice of greens aeration so as the greens are presently useless it was a waste of money even with the discount. The fairways were recently pretty good but now have deteriorated badly. Not sure what's wrong but there's soggy patches and lots of bare earth.
