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.

Read the fine print thoroughly....

Found Peacock Gap on Golfnow.com for supposedly “special deals”.....what they fail to tell you is that at PC the price “does not” include a golf cart ... that would be an additional cost added to the deal price...so be warned.

The greens at PC are quite undulating and challenging. Great course in San Raphael but back nine a bit of a wait.

Peacock Gap GC Review

Peacock Gap is a very good golf course to play, not only for the average golfer, but also for those who are very experienced. The course is in generally good condition, but a few of the sandtraps remain to be upgraded. The course is not far from central San Rafael and is in a beautiful location. Relaxing in the clubhouse at the end of the day is a definite plus with taasty food and reasonably priced drinks.

Fun Course Outside of San Francisco

My friends and I try to make it a point to regularly play golf outside of San Francisco. When we do, we typically head north to Peacock Gap for a variety of reasons. The course is beautiful and has multiple memorable holes including a Par 3 that plays over water. Additionally, the course has one of the few grass practice ranges in the area, so it's always nice to spend extra time getting some practice reps in. The staff has always been incredibly friendly to me and we often spend time afterward on the deck having a few post-round beers. All of this comes at a great discounted rate. I highly recommend this course for anyone looking to have a fun round of golf.

Greens in great shape

With rains coming in this afternoon, I teed off early to get in a round before the winter wet starts in full. I played solo and after a twosome let me play through on hole #2, I had nobody in front of me. (FWIW, I teed off at about 7:15 AM).

I finished in TWO HOURS, which was due to it being cold and me not dilly dallying, not waiting on any shots and also shockingly playing pretty well.

I will say having played this course a lot, I did so because it tends to not drain all that great - it's an older course and the drainage is what you would expect. So this may be the last round for awhile if the winter is truly here. Peacock isn't cheap and with it being one of only two public 18-hole courses in Marin, they have a captive audience but the greens were in great shape and most of the bunkers were as well. No complaints with conditions today.

October Sunday at Peacock

The course was in good shape. The greens were the fastest I have seen in 43 years of playing this course, really good. Played in 4.5 hours, football games probably helped. Fun, medium-difficulty course.

Great Golf No Traffic

Why sit in traffic? Enjoyed a great time on an excellent course then drove the rest of the way home without traffic. The greens rolled good and the sand traps are in excellent condition.

Sandy greens

I really like this course, but several times I have booked without knowing that the greens were just sanded. I think they can do more to inform people of these conditions. This game is hard enough without putting in a sand box!

Great neighborhood course

Staff is always great at Peacock. Very good practice facilities, except long drive is not allowed. Course is always in good to great condition when other courses are struggling. Greens tend to be on the slower side. Course is not very difficult but not boring either. Very good overall.
