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.

Invest in the golf course

I'm so happy that you are making money - driving range sales are triple pre-covid levels and the course has never been busier.

While we understand that revenue from the restaurant is down, please invest in the golf course. Weeds in the bunkers, barren stretches of dirt in the fairways, and overall maintenance should be ramped up to keep the course conditions decent.

Great course a little slow

I love the layout of the course for a casual round. Distance isn’t too long from the blue men’s tees and the hole design and pins make for a fun round. Fairways are well cut. A little dry in a few areas but overall really great condition. Pace of play was slow for me and my partner walking.

OK but not inspired to go back soon

I thought this course has some very nice things and some not so nice things. Course itself is in pretty good shape, interesting layout, relatively flat so easily walked and longish. Greens had been recently sanded so were slow but in good shape. Bunkers had real sand. Fairways good. Rough in some areas but in general hard to lose a ball. The two gentleman we played with were very nice and enjoyable company.

What I didn't like: limited range space - people who use it don't know how to practice on grass so they were super chewed up, thought the general atmosphere was "we're all really rich and have nice cars" so a little snotty. $14 for a medium bucket of range balls seems VERY high. You have to carry clubs in as no carts in the parking lot which I understand but don't like...Would play there again as long as I can find a tee time for less then $40. Didn't buy food or drink so no comment there.

Acceptable Round

Considering how full the course was, the pace of play was decent. Greens were in good shape, though recently sanded (so a bit slow). Windy, but nice weather. Acceptable round overall.

Great track!

Peacock Gap is a solid course with some challenging holes to keep things interesting. The staff there have done a great job keeping things clean during these crazy pandemic days. Would definitely recommend!!

Pace is an issue

I've been playing here for years and have always enjoyed the golf course. It's generally fun, walkable and in decent shape. Unfortunately the last two times I've played at Peacock Gap, we've quit after 12 holes because the pace has become painfully slow. I think this is partly due to extremely high demand during the pandemic, but that's not really an excuse for a 6+ hour round. They don't make any effort to speed up slow golfers and when a marshal finally came around, we asked about it and his answer was "its Sunday" and his recommendation was to play 2 balls. No wonder pace is so bad! Its been one of my favorite courses to play in the Bay Area for a long time, but sadly if they don't make changes to improve the pace of play, I won't be coming back.

Fun Course, Painfully Slow

Peacock Gap has been a go-to for my friends and I for years. We love the layout. It's fun and relatively easy. Conditions are usually pretty good. Unfortunately the last two times out, we've walked off after 12 holes because of how slow the pace has become. The course is extremely overcrowded and there is no one out there managing the pace. We waited for 15 minutes on every tee box. A marshall finally came around and we asked him about the pace and his response was "it's Sunday. Just hit two balls". That might explain why things we so slow! I won't be coming back here until pace improves.

Expected More, but still a good course

Based on great reviews and generally upper mid-range pricing, as well as the posh north bay location, I figured this course was going to impress me my first time playing it. Unfortunately it fell a bit short in terms of expectation and that's possibly more on me rather than the course. Overall it's a nice feeling course, pretty open for the most part, but you will get punished if you play it too loosely. Greens were slow, but pin locations were very difficult. Hard winds made for some rough tee shots, but all in all, the shortness and design of the course make it less interesting to me. Still great for anyone local to the north bay! FYI they have the nice GPS w/ touchscreen enabled carts, but beware you don't get close to greens, creeks or teeboxes, or the cart will automatically die unless you back up slowly...
