Sunnyvale Municipal Golf Course

Sunnyvale has let this course slide even further. While there is a restaurant/bar above the proshop, the 9th hold snack shack is still an unused dilapidated look building, the snack cart has a poor selection of drinks, and it's always frustrating to remember that their practice/warm-up facilities consist of one putting green - no chipping, and no driving range. Most of the water features on the course have been 90% drained, so they are just big mud pits now, really takes away from the look of the course. The tees are in pretty bad shape, you have to move around to find a spot that isn't super uneven and/or sandy - who wants to slip while hitting your drive? The greens are in reasonable condition but they are SLOW. Unfortunately the overall state of this course seems to be typical for municipal courses in the area, Palo Alto Muni is about the same, if not worse, and I've heard Santa Clara is worse than Sunnyvale.

I'm a 10 handicap. The course was easy to get on. Pace of play was ok. Course ok. Amenities are poor. No cart, no water coolers. Drinking fountains were warm with poor water flow.

It is a nice course and we had a great pace of play.

Great price when we played.

The overall course condition is good. But the pace is slow due to some walking foursome groups. It seems common on this course because the course administrator intentionally holds all players until 12:00pm even course is nearly empty. If you want to play with regular pace, better to avoid those groups. Otherwise, this is a fun to play course. Wish the administrator can be more flexible.

Called in advance to ask about rental clubs and told it was "no problem". When I checked in they handed me a set that was missing a six iron and had a blend of steel and graphite iron shafts. No time to resolve as they were rushing us out early ahead of our scheduled 10am tee time because of s tournament.

Ok the course the maintenance crew had not touched a single bunker that day. The sand was hard as a rock. We told the pro shop about it when we returned and honestly didn't care. Not planning on coming back.

I played this Monday. The course was relatively empty. I played four holes and had to quit as the foursome ahead was so slow...that it was a chore to watch them. I went to their bar and had a glass of wine. Waited till there was a gap at the first hole. Played another six holes, joined up with another single and then another umbrella brigade with nary an idea of what they were doing. I quit.

The last time I played Sunnyvale was a year ago. It was a bad experience then and...never again.

I remember Sunnyvale Golf Course back in the eighties when Nick Pagonis ran the Lookout Bar and Restaurant upstairs. The course had a great pro-shop run by Art Wilson...the bar and restaurant were run well and always lively and...the golf course was run like a golf course. It's sad to see to the level that it has deteriorated.

Staffs are not super friendly, just OK to get on to the course.

This course has 2 characters separated by highway 237.

Hole 8 is always challenging, tough drive, tough approach, tough putt.

If you never play there, you should go try it out.

Not super difficult but still challenging enough.

Very walkable.

The course was in very good condition, pace was good. Staff was very friendly, it did not used to be, which is why I stopped playing there. They just opened up a cafe there which makes it nicer as well. That had been closed for 3 years or so.

The only con is that the price was the same whether I booked it on GolfNow or called the course. Where are the discounts?

The 4 some in front of us is so slow affecting our group performance.Although our group perform better but the thing is it could be better. We are waiting more than what it should be.I time the whole game is about 6 hours. People in front of us instead of moving forward they are spending there time looking for their lost balls.We did inform the pro shop but nothing happen so we just waiting and waiting.

Is in better than usual shape. Greens good to great, fairways lush. An occasional " casual water " areas, but a good trade to see fairways so lush.

Had a 4-hour 18-holes, w/ a fast 4-some in front of our 3, going to 2-some after #2, yet they were never in our way! Nice round of golf!

Only complaint, was that our "hot deal" was only available @ 12:37 or 1:00 pm . . . We like to start EARLIER, say 8:30am, but the price made our decision. A 55 + "Senior Rate" would also bring me out more, (60 in August, lol!).

Oh, another minor issue. Wish Sunnyvale had a driving net or "cage" (no driving range), just so we can take full swings at balls to warm up!

The course was in great shape, especially the greens. We played 18 in just under 3 1/2 hours.

Very well kept course a lot more challenging from the tips, surprisingly great pace considering it was a weekend...just wish the quality of sandis better but overall I always liked this course. Greens were true.. will be back for sure..,

Tee boxes, greens and fairways are in pretty good shape. Rough has some weeds growing, but it's not too bad. Course isn't particularly interesting - very flat, few hazards, sand traps weren't great. Very walkable; I'd recommend not taking a cart.

Concession stand looks like it hasn't been open in years. There's nearly no drinking water on the course, and there's no refreshment cart.

Slow play was not an issue - Saturday at 10:30am and we played 18 in 4:40.

All in all, it's adequate, and I'd prefer to play here than many of the other public courses in the area.

Pretty much flat has 2 somewhat challenging holes no restaurant no

snack bar at turn

Played 18 in 4 25 hrs with cart. Course was in good shape. Friendly staff. Good day.
