Peacock Gap Golf Club extends along the shores of San Pablo Bay, but it sits inland enough to avoid the fogginess of the coast and enjoy consistently sunny weather throughout the year. The course's layout has undergone many renovations over the years that have brought it to its current playability, including a new drainage system, new tee boxes, a reshaping of five of the greens, and relocation of bunkers. The golf course kept the classic features of its original layout though, such as the inviting fairways that still provide a challenge and the tricky greens that deceptively extend past where the player thinks they end. In addition to the course, Peacock Gap has also improved their practice facilities over the years. There is an all-grass driving range, two large practice greens, and a chipping green.

Great location

Links style coarse well maintained, greens were slow and uneven due to being punched last week, but that will heal.

Beware after rain

I booked through GN with a cart. It had rained for a few days prior so they did not allow carts. Most fairways had significant water pooling. The course seems to have very poor drainage so I would avoid after any significant rain storms.

What's Wrong with the Pro Shop

An old female player was arguing with the Pro shop staff, Chris, for about 15 minutes. The pro shop staff was not helpful or courteous. She held up the check in line. She ended up started late for her tee off and affected every team behind hers. We were late and the traffic was jammed up. We quit after 15 holes! There was not compensation for us.

There was another problem with Chris at the prop shop. We played a few weeks ago and it was not busy. We were 20 minutes early and there were two openings before our tee time. Chris would not let us start early. We had wait until for our tee time because we booked the tee time from GOLFNOW.

His attitude and policy have to be changed.

The starter ED was super friendly. He even remembered my name-it shows how often we have played there.

Sad day

2.5 hours and not even through 8. Honestly the worse pace of play I have ever experienced. However, greens are great, albeit littered with pitch marks. Really great staff but will never come back on a weekend.

Peacock Gap - 3/5

The restaurant and practice facilities are awesome, and the layout is well-designed with interesting holes. However, the fairways are in poor condition and several greens are damaged, affecting playability. While the amenities are great, the course conditions don't justify the 4-star rating or premium pricing. Has potential but needs better maintenance to be worth the cost.

Rude Staff

We booked a 1:24 tee time and we got there early and we asked the starter if we can head out early since NO-ONE was on the first tee, fairway or green. He simply said no even if it’s wide open and just us on the course, we have to tee off at 1:24. That obviously caused the course to clog up as there were three or four groups teeing off around the same time.

Not well maintained

For great Layout the T boxes are in bad condition and Big branches of weeds that can be easily removed are near the Green's Fairways are not maintained.

If cared and $$ spent this can be one of the best Golf course in the area
