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.

Unbelievably bad!

I know there is a drought and water is scarce, but the fairways and tee boxes were awful!! You don’t need water to keep them mowed! Staff at pro-shop are unfriendly, and pace of play is ridiculously slow. Here’s an idea...how about spacing out the tee times so you don’t have to crawl up the next groups bung hole every single hole! What a joke.

Problems at Peacock

The course was crowded and the play was slow. We were sent off as a five-some which exacerbated the problem. We finally gave up after 14 holes.

My pet peeve was the electric cart settings that restrict where you can go unmercifully! Really frustrating !!

The course was very dry, (we are having a drought) but quite dramatically so.

Used cart

forced two-somes in cart, with delta variant spiking...

BEWARE! peacock's head golf pro and staff supervisor just began mandating that golfers must ride in carts together, even if they are total strangers with no knowledge of the others' vaccination status or health conditions.

or, they must pay an additional $16 to the fees already paid, in order to ride solo on a golf cart, which had been an allowed practice over the past year.

they're saying covid is over, even though the delta variant is rapidly spreading all through out the world, including here in the u.s.

they also said that all golf courses are charging the extra fee, if a golfer wants to ride solo, which is not the case, since i rode solo at journey at pechanga in temecula just last week.

Dry and hard- slow play

Crowded took us 5:30hours. Fairways are hard and dry, but it is a drought. Greens are in good shape and receptive.

Very slow, uncaring staff, not worth the money

From hole 1 play was painfully slow. Waited at least 5 minutes per shot. 2 hrs and 45 minutes to finish 9 holes. After 9 we talked to the starter who said their pace is a 4.5 hour round, but I should also tell the pro shop. No marshals keeping things moving. The pro shop staff was rude when I told them we were stopping after 9 because of the slow pace. The man just kept saying “this is a typical round for our course”, which he repeated about 3 more times. Not an ounce of concern or even a sorry. $150 wasted. It’s not a great course, don’t waste your time or money.

In solid condition

There aren’t that many options in Marin County for public golf. Out of the one there are, I think Peacock Gap golf club is the best one. And right now even though there are water restrictions the course is in remarkably good shape. I especially enjoy the greens which are pretty smooth and reasonably fast. I’ve never loved the layout as much as other great courses but it’s still a decent challenge and a fun round.

Our pace of play was average but that was due to one slow person in our group. Had we not had that person we would have finished in less than 4 hours

True rolling greens

Great course for a quick, morning round. Shot my best round ever that day. Pace of play was great until a slight slowdown on the back because of a single that jumped out in front of us. Otherwise, great staff and a good value. Would definitely play again.
