Blue Rock Springs Golf Course - East

It is an older "short" course designed before the advent of the ProV1. It really a second shot course. The greens were in fairly good shape, the tee boxes were ok. The pace of play is slow. They allow 5 and they let people tee off both 1 and 10.

The service is poor. The guy at the front desk wanted me to pay twice. I paid on line but he said he saw no record I paid on golfnow. It was unusual because he saw my reservation on the system. Good thing I printed out the online receipt.

A comfortable challenge:

If you've ever played Hiddenbrooke which is located in the same area then you have a very good understanding of what this course offers in terms of challenges vistas and views.

I learned that I must check for scheduled tournaments prior to booking a tee time. The pace was almost unbearably slow. I normally enjoy playing this course - it's in great condition except for the hard pan bunkers.

I went to play Blue Rock GC in Vallejo, CA this past weekend. As I went to check in I was met by a very busy clerk behind the counter. His tone and deportment was curt and direct. I wanted to check in a little early, get a cart, and head over to the range to hit a small bucket of balls. He did not have any carts available for me. Since the driving range is too far away to walk to I was left to put on a small putting green near the pro shop. The clerk said he would notify me over the intercom when a cart was available. However, he never notified me and as I got within 15 min of my tee time I made my way back to the pro shop. I asked him if he had a cart available for me since my tee time was in 15 min. He immediately spotted a cart that had just been returned by a patron and told me to take that cart. The cart was littered with cigarette butts, garbage and the seats were dirty from spilt beer. I ended up going to the restroom to wet a towel to wipe off the seat so I could sit down. More fun began as I began my round. We had players in front of us who were throwing down extra balls and doing things like going to the next tee box to tee off and then returning the the previous green to finish holing out. No marshalls were available to get this slow play group in front of us moving. The course phone number was left unanswered. As a result, our round was one of the most painful rounds I have played in a very long time. It took 7 hours to complete! On top of that, I counted two water jugs and one weak water fountain available on the course and No drink cart available. The sand traps had zero sand in them w/only hard pan clay dirt to hit off of. I honestly could not recommend this course to anyone.

The course is coming out of Winter in great shape. The one thing they need to work on is the bunkers. Terrible. Like hitting off of gunite.

Played Blue Rock West yesterday and the course is in beautiful condition. The greens are firm and medium fast and the fairways are lush. Played the round in right at 4 hours, only had brief waits throughout round. Nice views from the higher tee boxes.

Great place to play 36 holes. Price is reasonable.

Went out with 3 others on a Saturday morning. Weather was a bit chilly at first as tee time was 7:40am. Weather warmed up and conditions became excellent. The grass was wet due to rain from previous day, but nothing to drastic. Had a great time out and a great day. Pace of play could have been a just a tad but quicker from the couple of groups in front of us, but that wasn't too big of a deal. Overall, I really like this course. I would have to say I still like the East side just a hair more than the West course here at Blue Rock Springs Golf Course, but only because I have played it more often.

Always fun and challenging.

East course is very underrated and well worth the price of admission!

Greens were in excellent condition however fairways were very sloppy due to recent rains. Paid $34 on a Sunday morning, very reasonable. Looking forward to playing again in drier conditions.

Love playing here great course with lots of challenges. I play this course often and the pace of play is usually very good, but due to the rain the course was cart path only and there were a few groups walking anyway besides that this is a very good course with a west and eastern side 18.

Seems the Men's Club is not only the top but the only priority. Played a round on Friday, Cart path only, in front of us was a fivesome (again, cart path ONLY) This "feisty" five were teeing off from the tips , very often just carrying the Reds. We made a query, so to speak , to the Marshall, we got a "oh , there with the Men's club" a brilliant retort. REALLY, so clubbers can gang up and play , not only bad, but slow golf from a tee box designed for golfers that can at least carry the ball past the teeing ground complex. Never again.

I would have given the course a 5 star if the sand bunkers did not have big rocks in it.

Clean fareways and beautiful putting greens with beautiful views! Plenty sandtraps to challenge the best golfer!

First time playing this course. Have played every course around it and decided to try it, glad I did. Played the East Course, has some great views and some outstanding holes. #7 is a great hole, straight downhill and then 90 degrees right. #15 is another great hole uphill. Greens were in great shape, fairways the same. Traps were the only problem, not enough sand. Loved the course though and will play it again. Didn't comment on the 19th hole but I hear it is good. Had a great polish dog at the snack bar. I highly recommend this course. Star Rating 4.8

One of the best courses in the Bay Area condition wise.
Greens true and soft.
Fairways green and we'll cut.

My wife and I played here for the first time Wednesday November 4th, 2015. We were pleasantly surprised with the course and its conditions. The pace of play was great with only minimal wait times at the first tee. My only, minor, complaint would be that certain members of the grounds crew seemed to be oblivious to golfers. After leaving my approach shot short on 12 I was left with a 10 yard pitch. As I'm lining up the shot a groundskeeper drives on the green and starts to sand it. I know that course maintenance is key at any facility but driving onto the green as I'm about to be on it is a bit excessive. Other that the sanding situation happening on a few holes on the back nine I was happy with our visit the Blue Rock Springs.

Rude and unintelligent people run the pro shop. They also play with no tee time causing backup and refuse to let twosomes play thru their tiresome with no groups in front. Gonna make a point to play here less often.

Fun course, we played 2-3 weeks after aerification of greens - they had recovered OK, not quite as well as I expected after asking in the pro shop though. We moved well enough on the front but hit a road block on the back, but overall pace of 4:18 not horrific.
