Peacock Gap Golf Club

Very impressed with Peacock Gap.

Had heard new owners took over a few years back and were planning to clean it up.

They did just that ! Very nice facility and golf course was in great shape.

Played Peacock many years ago. This course has improved tremendously in all aspects. Better course, conditions and amenities. Got a great deal on GolfNow and will definitely return.

The Golfnow tee time here is 1:57. Plenty of time to play 18. Also, light play at that time so no waiting

at next tee. A very good value.

Fairly easy and very short course from the tips.

When you walk onto the course, you get a great impression. A nice looking clubhouse and to the right is a nice large grass driving range. We checked in and the guys at the pro shop were super nice. Being our first time there, he walked outside with us and gave us directions on how to get around the course. We get up to first tee and had some fun with the starter before teeing off. Great guy that suggested we play the blues. We hit our tee shots and were off.

This course needs some help from the rain and that was evident on the first hole. The layout was nice. Nothing too difficult. My favorite part of the course were the par 3s, minus the first one (#3) which was basically hitting a ball to a top of a hill. The others were really nice with huge greens, some 3 tiered. The #16 could have been the best of them all, but there were so many geese on and around the green, it was ridiculous. We all hit our shot, walked up to the green and were floored by just how much geese dropping there was. Just to hit my putt, I had to shovel it off my line for a least 2 minutes. It was terrible and when its that much, it becomes disgusting. It just ruined what would have been the best hole on the course.

All in all, it wasn't horrible. The pace was good and it was packed in on a Saturday like many other courses. The range is awesome. The people were super nice and friendly. The one thing I can't get passed and its probably why I wouldn't return is the price and value. Since I live in San Francisco, I drive to most of the courses I play and at times, a good distance. So at $90 with a cart, this is at the bottom of my value list. San Geronimo is near the same distance and the conditions are much nicer, yet $25 cheaper. There are just nicer courses to play out there that are much better values.

Certainly not over challenging from the whites, with par 5s reachable in two. Course is an easy walk, which I prefer. Fairways were in good shape, given all our rain. Greens didn't hold. Putting slow. I played for $12 on golf now-can't beat that. Didn't ever wait. Walked 18 in under 4 hours. Had a great day. Would def come back.

We had no idea we had to play the front 9 twice, that was already a surprise then the starter ask us by the way did you know we just plugged the greens,how would Any feel finding this out after driving an hour from S.S.F to San Rafael?

I booked a tee time through golf now when I arrived at the course they said we had to play the front nine twice then we got to the first tee the starter told us they just plug the greens and they were all sandy. I was very disappointed!!

My wife and I had a great afternoon

A pleasant way to spend a afternoon. The course has been improved and offers a good teat for average golfers.

Used to play Peacock pretty often 10-15 years ago. Was always fun for the price. Then it was bought and re-done. Huge fee increase and ridiculously redesigned greens. Major complaints from the regulars. I played it once and "never again". Was bought again 3-4 years ago. Greens re-done #again# and enlarged/improved grass range and new practice area #although my formerly favorite hole #9 was reduced from par 5 to 4 to make room----bummer#. Saw a good deal on GolfNow because greens punched the prior week, so decided Friday afternoon would be a good opportunity to check out Peacock again #after 8-9 years#. The greens now #re-re-designed# are great--really interesting, and the layout still fair and fun #w/ some added traps around the greens, which I like#. It's a very scenic course w/ many mature oaks/pines etc. A good amount of water too. Teed off 12:30 and finished in 4hrs.15 min. #4-some# before dark. As expected, greens still needed 10-14 days to recover. But, really enjoyed myself. Was like spending time w/ an old friend that's recovered from health issues. I'll be playing Peacock again, now.

Pros:
The buildings are attractive.
Huge all grass driving range.
Course is walkable.
Range Cafe has superb food.
Great happy hour value.

Cons:
Though the booking listing noted aeration in progress, I was disappointed to learn that the back nine was closed.
The front nine greens were still covered with sand and made putting a joke.
Fairways are in really rough shape.
Waited on every shot.
Small bucket(30 balls) was $9.00. Seems a tad pricey for a warmup.

My overall impression was favorable enough that I will play the course again when the greens have healed. I will definitely go back for the locavore food.

A fun playable course. I am playing with a beginner and its a manageable course with some challenging holes with not a lot of water..

Drought has challenged this course but pretty good considering. Alway good luck at restaurant after or before round. Good staff, will be back.

There is a drought in the area. Understandable, however, the area surrounding the greens and tee boxes were rough. And I am not talking long grass. No grass at times just dirt where they are watering. They need to spend time fixing the course around the greens . Will not play there until it will rains again.

I realize there's a drought but this course is in terrible shape. Dead grass and dirt everywhere, including the fairways and fringes. $80 for this? No thanks.

Why does 11 have a well-kept reasonable fairway if it's all drought-related? Other courses have managed to keep the fairways and greens in decent shape somehow - especially those in the same price range. Peacock Gap - if you're just giving up and using the drought as an excuse, then lower your prices. You were overpriced anyway to start with and now it's ridiculous.

Had a great time. We are going again !!

It's a beautiful place with wonderful wildlife and a sense of serenity.

Food is great!

excellent
outstandig
also request waver of booking fee of valuable customers?

This course has a good layout and great food. But the biggest problem is its condition. The greens are really slow and the fairways are often wet and soggy. I kind of feel like the staff members are pretty shy.

I like playing different courses. If I can get a good deal I will drive to another course if the savings pay for my gas. I got a good deal here, $25.00 walking rate. I didn't know they had carts as they just show walking rates, I should have called but this is a course you can walk. The practice facilities are nice, good putting greens and a nice driving range. It is a very nice course but there are a lot better near by for a better price. The course is not that difficult so I feel just about anyone can play this course. I stayed and had dinner which was very good. I don't like saying negative things but the waiter kind of ignored me for about 10 minutes, he was nice but needs seasoning, needs to let people know that he knows they are there and he will get to them ASAP.

One thing that really bothered me was the $9.00 for a small bucket of balls, REALLY.

I would recommend this course to a friend only if he got the deal I got. I also would play this course again but only at the price I paid $25.00 walking rate.
