About
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.

Pace of play
The Marshall's need to deal with the slow groups. They are riding around in their carts but allow the foursomes to take too long. Not fair for the rest if us.
Peacock Gap
I hadn't played here for about 15 years so I don't remember much from my last time there. The course was in good shape, the greens were fair and true. One drawback was the restaurant not being open until 8:30 a.m. on a Saturday which was surprising and had I known I would've picked up breakfast on the way. All in all I'd play there again but I don't think $81 to ride on a weekend is a great value especially when you have other courses nearby for cheaper.
Course needs serious help...
No starter managing when people tee off, no marshal on duty. Several times during the round, other golfers skipped holes and jumped ahead causing delays. At one point a single walked on and squeezed himself in the half hole gap between us and the 2 some ahead of us. We called the pro-shop early in the round due to slow play and said they would send a marshal right out, no marshal ever came around. Greens are in decent condition, soft but healthy. The rest of the course looks like it has been abandoned. Dry, weed covered fairways, trash, broken tees covering the tee boxes, etc. They also have a goose problem, along with that comes a goose waste problem. It's a shame, I really hope they don't let this go any further it needs serious attention.
Pros: Practice facilities are decent, cafe / food is good.
Thank you for taking the time to review the experience. I'm sorry that your experience didn't meet your expectations. We're constantly reviewing our procedures to ensure that we offer an exceptional experience. With a new greens keeper at the helm, we've addressed many of the issues that you outlined. We hope you can come back to see the improvements. Just the other day our greens stimped at 11.1
Give us another try, I'm sure you'll agree that our conditions are second to none. Happy Holidays.

A quiet place to play
A fair course with a friendly staff in a very quiet setting.
Good course in a neat setting
Course has little elevation change but makes good use of creeks and other water features to make the course challenging. If there is wind it is even more challenging. We played starting at 2:30 pm and really had most of the course to ourselves. One group in front of us by a couple of holes and no one behind use for at least 3 holes. Weather was about 73 degrees under clear skies.
Thank you for taking the time to review the experience. We've only gotten better since you played last. We hope you can come back to see the improvements. I'm sure you'll agree that our conditions are second to none. Happy Holidays.

short and sweet
peacock gap is a nice short course , the conditions are usually great. It's on the spendy side for me so I only go if I find a deal. For other eastbay golfers who know Willow Park, I find these courses play similarly although the conditions at WP are vastly inferior. The greens at PG this round were firm but receptive to shots from inside 170 yds. The fairways were on the long side about 1.5" but dense and fluffy the dirt below was firm and dry, the fairways showed some signs of recent airification
Thank you for taking the time to review the experience. We keep our fairways just under 1/2" with the exception of times of specialized maintenance procedures. We hope you can come back to see the improvements. I'm sure you'll agree that our conditions are second to none. Happy Holidays.

Peacock on a Friday morning
Good overall value especially during the week. Backs up a bit but if you go out early (before 9 am), pretty sure to have a 4 hour round which is a positive. Course in pretty good shape though would like to see more holders repair their ball marks on the green - I repaired 5-7 per green. Service at restaurant somewhat slow but quality of good / beverage is high for a public facility. Practice area best in Marin.
great features!
outstanding course
and so beautiful scene.
Recentry repared greens.
fareway...
Concern about water hazard....

Great weather, very open
Course is in good shape. Not too crowded and is relatively cheap. The course is also very open, hard to lose a ball here.
Mayor of nob hill says....
Pros
Close to the city
When your game needs some work it's a good place to find your game again.
Grass range
Your not going to lose more than one ball.
Staff is friendly
Locals are starting to hangout there.
Cons
This course is about $10 over priced
Tips are shorter than some white boxes
Lots of goose terds but it has improved
At times this course can be very slow
Eventhough staff is nice they lack polished service. This makes me wonder about large events?
With new ownership this place has really improved but its time to focus on the course more so
than the event planning. Yes events bring in capital but it is a golf course. This place is almost there, don't stop!

nice course... TERRIBLE greens
Facilities were great and everything is brand new. Driving range is all grass which is perfect. Fairways perfect. Rough was a little long (bring a lot of balls the disappear right in front of you it was rediculous) and was a major complaint for a lot of people out there. The greens.... awful!! they were long and seemed almost weedy along with being aerated semi recently and a lot of unhealed ball markings. Worst greens I have ever seen. Was very frustrating.
Thank you for taking the time to review the experience. Our greens have fully recovered from aeration. It's a necessary evil but we help our guests with 20% discounts during the healing process. I agree that the greens were less than ideal this year. We've made some changes to our maintenance practices and actually stimped the greens at 11.1 recently. I'll put these greens up against any course in the area. It sounds like you played during a time when our rough mower was under repair. The rough was growing fast and there was a premium on hitting the fairway. We hope you can come back to see the improvements. I'm sure you'll agree that our conditions are second to none. Happy Holidays.

course
fun course to play, Plays slow some times need more marshals. should lower the $$$$ a little.
Enjoyable golf experience
I enjoyed walking the course. No waiting during the week. The staff are very professional. Greens are in good shape. The red tees are short...the white tees were very challenging for me. I would recommend this golf course. I have been playing this course since 1990. Great practice facility and teaching professionals.
Fun course good price
I always enjoy Peacock Gap,play there about 3 times a yr.Its a good layout.There have been some complaints about the greens recently but they seemed to have tackled the fungus infection and almost all the greens are back to pristine condition..For the money you cant beat this course.
This course was ordinary. A little bit crowding.
It was nice course to play.
Fairway condition was tolerable, green good.
It's a real pity that they just don't seem capable of improving the quality of their greens which frankly are an embarrassment
Some of the dollars that are being spent to rebuild the club house should have been doesn't on the course. The great location and pleasant layout is spoilt by very poor condition.
Thank you for taking the time to review the experience. 2013 was a difficult year for us. An unfortunate fungus overtook the greens and created some difficult playing conditions. We've turned around the conditions 180 degrees. The greens are the best I've seen them. Just the other day we stimped them at 11.1
We hope you can come back to see the improvements. I'm sure you'll agree that our conditions are second to none. Happy Holidays.

Great value....
Great deal at $15 to walk. Pace of play was slow for a Monday afternoon. Green were better than had been in the last 6 months.
fair enough
even though certain degree of attention is required in fairways and greens, overall course condition is fair enough. surroundings and atmosphere is good. Most of all, great value for money!!

Thank you for taking the time to review the experience. We agree that slow play is no fun. We've addressed our policies and procedures and even added GPS to our golf carts that helps us monitor the pace of play. We've already made great strides in that department. We hope you can come back to see the improvements. I'm sure you'll agree that our conditions are second to none. Happy Holidays.
