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.

Not April fools

Good condition with all the moisture.

Typical slow round with the volume of players. The greens look fantastic, except they are presently very slow.

Perhaps when they dry out a bit the speed will increase.

Nice day at Peacock

Path only due to rain previous day and greens still recovering from plugging and sanding. Greens super slow

But will be nice with a mow and a roll in a few days.

course has recovered well from the wet winter

They have been able to mow everywhere and carts were allowed off of the paths. Rough was mowed but a little longer than in the summer so balls were sometimes hard to find in the rough. This makes it a little slower to complete your round as it takes time for find any hits that ended up in the rough. Otherwise the course was in great shape and the greens have almost healed from the being aerated.

Good course

We played Peacock Gap for the first time. It was still very wet on the fairways but the greens were in very good condition. The layout is quite flat and an easy walk. There are not too many memorable holes apart from the 16th but overall it is a nice course. We were able to get the first twilight teetime and finished way before sunset after 3h45min as a two ball. The practice greens are well kept but be aware that the range does not allow any shots over 200y from the grass tees. So no warm up with any longer clubs.

Overall it's a nice course with great value for money.

A Good Course

Peacock Gap is a good course and worth the trip to San Rafael.

On the day I played it wasn’t the greatest weather (managed to miss the rain but the course was definitely still wet). That being the case it wasn’t as busy as normal leading to an excellent pace of play and a 4.5 hr round. Despite the rain the bunker sand was decent and greens were ok (though clearly sanded).

Swampy…

Normally would give this course 4-star rating but lots of rain recently has made the course extremely wet. Great course and venue - have played during the summer and it’s always in solid condition. But right now and probably for at least a few weeks it’s going to be swampy mess.

Great course AWFUL pace

I love this course and hopefully a one off but i am so disappointed at the pace Friday afternoon around 1pm. I have never been a course where there are THREE groups waiting at one tee box. This happened multiple times yesterday. Its ironic because the carts tell you that you are pacing behind and a marshall may ask you to skip a hole. WHERE IS THE MARSHALL?!!?!?!?

Hope this is a one off

Tee time put forward due to saving time issues

Due to the day light saving time, the pro shop and the starter let us play ahead of the starting time. There are quite a number of sand bunkers guarding the green which’s great challenge. We love this course.
