Sunnyvale Municipal Golf Course

Grass is knee high on the rough, impossible for non pro to hit out or even find the ball. I know we been having lots of rain, but they need to trim the grass down.

The fairways and traps were in good shape for all of the rain we’ve had lately. The greens are still healing from the recent aeration but still very playable.

The only big improvement I would suggest would be to add a bathroom at the 9th hole on the front track since there are 13 holes to complete before getting back to the clubhouse bathrooms.

We arrived to play our teaetime to find out They were aerating the greens, and we had no notification of this. Not only were they doing it during the round, they moved the flagstick to the fairway, so there was essentially no putting.

Played on a Tuesday afternoon after a lot of rain in the past few weeks. The course was definitely a bit soggy but quite playable. Pace was very slow especially for a weekday afternoon - took us nearly 5 hours to finish as a threesome, in part because I suspect some groups head of us split into smaller groups. I wish the marshall would've kept that in check to speed up overall play.

Big fan of the course layout as it's not just about hitting long and straight, some interesting strategy decisions on various holes.

when its wet have to find way to hit ball cleanly //greens were not slow so that was gud

but no roll on fairways at all and bring ur towel to clean muddy balls

I've played a lot of Bay Area munis and I have played this course more than a few times and I have to say that I think that it has gotten worse.

The pace of play is a joke because there are only 7 minutes between tee times (meaning almost 9 groups going out per hour!) and because they don't require people to pay up front, each group is a hodgepodge of twosomes, threesomes and foursomes.

There are studies that show that tee time spreads of <10min cause 5+ hour rounds before noon and this course goes out there and puts tee times only 7 minutes apart.

Course design is horrible with 2 par 3 holes nearby back-to-back. The back 9 takes over 3 hours to finish. Also, no course marshal to regulate pace of play. It’s a pretty flat course, so a lot of senior walkers. Unfortunately, many are very stubborn and won’t allow you to play-through even though they’re bottlenecking the flow.
