Nice Course & Great Views

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

Nice Course at a decent value

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.

Bad customer service

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.

Blue Rock East in mid Oct

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.

Love Blue Rock golf course

Four of us played in the morning if a very hot day. Blue Rock was perfect as usual. The views from some of the west course T boxes were magnificent. So if you're having a really rotten round, the view of the whole Bay Area will certainly improve your day.
Staff of course always gets 5 stars. Course is outstanding. Well kept. They take pride in their golf courses appearance even during the worst drought in 30 years. The food at the cafe is very good.

East course blue rock

I just started golfing about 2 years ago. I was able to get a good deal on golfnow for a twilight tee time. The course is in good conditon, the staff is nice and prompt. West course is usually all booked up for some reason so I always play the east course. Some say the west course is a little more open for the beginner that's why it's always booked. I don't mind east or west as long as it's a cheap tee time. Lol. So anyways back to my round. Me and my father inlaw played the east course on a weekday at the twilight time, there were suprisely a lot of people playing being that it was late in the day. We were able to get a quick 18 in about 3 hours and able to catch the game after. Driving range and putting area are in good condition. I Live close by and always enjoy playing the east course. Good condition, good pace. Would recommend for a quick 18.

Players attitude

Overall the course was very good and play was going along at a reasonable rate. At the 7th hole which is a par 5, I believe, was a downhill dogleg right where you can see the entire hole from the tee box. On our drives, two of our foursome hit the ball in the middle of the fairway and when we got there both balls were missing. As it turns out both balls plug and it took some time to find them. For the next shot we had to wait for the green to clear because one player in our foursome could reach the green in two which he did. Well an individual in the group behind us took issue with our play and called the clubhouse to complain about our style of play. He was not complaining about our pace because we were right behind the group in front. When the course marshal caught up with us, and we were backed up waiting to hit our balls, all he could say was to play ready golf and that the group behind us called and complained. Needless to say that when the individual passed us words were spoken and they were not to kind. In fact they were very inflammatory. Eventually when we were on another par 5 on the back nine he hit into us. Granted it was a down hill par five and we were over the hill and out of sight but he should of checked before he hit because we were waiting for the green to clear. When he came over the hill and saw what he did all he could do was laugh. We did or say nothing to him. The round of golf was one of the worst one I have ever played knowing he would hit into us at any moment or even start something on the course. As it turned out the marshal came back to us and explained that the reason play was so slow was the group that was two fore some in front of us. They fell back about two holes and he asked them to pick it up. Don't know if this is an ongoing issue at this course but my guess is that the individual who cause all of the trouble behind us has done this before. I an sorry I did not report him to the pro shop but he should be either educated on some form of golf etiquette or be kept off the course. I think the marshal handled the situation as well as possible but than again he may know the individual because he seemed to be a local.

Good course for the money.

I played on the east course last Labor Day for my first time at Blue Rock. The course was in good condition for the drought, especially the greens. Course was interesting and had some pretty cooll holes. On minor knock is that of the 5 par 3's, I used the same club for 4 of them, meaning there wasn't much distance variation.

Look forward to trying the west course.

Excellent value - great course

I've play here a few times, overall it's a high end course disguised as a public one. It's very comparable to private clubs I've seen.
Generally the course is in pretty great condition. The service staff is always friendly and carts and walkers are in good working order.
Accuracy is rewarded over length mostly. The par 3s are not typical give mes. The par 4s are just right, and the par 5s are narrow. Tee boxes are very good although patrons should make an effort
To fill divots. Fairways are good and there aren't too many out of bounds unless you actually hit out of the course... The only water hazard comes into play on the last few holes. The Greens are very good and challenging. The only major draw back is the sand traps which are pretty hard.
Play is generally smooth but sometimes slows and some patrons are not familiar with rules and promptness on the course but it's not a deal breaker.
Again overall value is excellent. The course design, conditions, playability and service is outstanding.

The layout is great

Overall the course was in really good shape, however the bunkers had about as much give as the parking lot!! They were hard and full of rocks. I'm no expert by any means but usually I'm a good bunker player, getting out with the first shot but it was taking a minimum of 2 and at times 3. It wasn't just me either the other two players in my group were having the same issues.

Good Public Course

The course was in good conditions especially with drought conditions. It was still green and the greens were a little fast. Now the cart I had broke down, and their staff stinks but once you get on the course and get a cart that works it is fine for the money. Pace of play was slow bit should expect it on the weekends. Also no sand in the bunkers!

Wow! What a surprise!

What the heck is going on at Blue Rock!? Something good obliviously cause the course conditions are outstanding! I'ts been about two years since I've played the rock and when my buddy suggested to play there I told him we should play elsewhere because my last experience at BR was not good. We decided to give it a try and I am so happy we did! The east course greens are the best I've ever seen them! Wow! Holding shots, putting true and smooth as glass! Wonderful experience on every hole! I will be spreading the word that BR is the place to go to! Guys in the pro shop make you feel like a long lost buddy back to visit! Great experience all the way around! Definitely getting the bang for your buck!
