Peacock Gap Golf Club
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.

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.
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!!
Greens are improving, Great practice area, lots of construction
My first time here; I was worried about the greens after reading all of the reviews. Yes I could see patches where repairs were under way but I could still putt through them. The practice area looked nice although I did not have time to partake (practice green, a bunker with chipping green, grass driving range.) There is another practice green up between the 1st and 10th tee which proved very useful as I waited for the groups ahead of me to tee off.
I was very worried about pace of play to start; we were backed up on the tee box, the starter left his post and never returned. I was a single and expecting the others to join me for my 1:39 tee time, nobody showed. I instead went out with a later threesome. The starter should have been there. Because there was a group of 3 ahead of us and we were 4, we kept pace but rarely had to wait on a shot. Likewise there were only a few times where the threesome behind us had to wait on us to finish.
There is a ton of construction going on so dust, noise and confusion abound. I'm sure when it's all done the place will be fantastic. I don't know what this place usually costs, I got a last minute Friday afternoon tee time from GolfNow for $20 which is an insane value.
Course has gotten in better shape.
Played Peacock in May the course has much improved since.Especially the greens.Fairways are nice and green .Course in general looks and plays really nice.
The changes to this course are excellent
Not having played this course in a while, the re do makes this a fun excellent course..Nothing hard or easy, but extremely fun. The changes made were great improvements to the greens and the addition of some bunkers.. Yes I will be back..
This course still needs work.Green are still slow.
The greens are still very slow and some of the fairways as well as some of the tee boxes need work.Playing in the afternoons on weekdays with affordable pricing does have its advantage.
On the way up
Course has come a long way under new ownership. An enormous new club house and banquet center demonstrate that there is long term vision for course and grounds - so I'm sure plans are to continue to maintain and invest in both. I contine to be impressed with the weekend pace of play. Consistently at and under 4 hour weekend rounds will keep me coming back! Only negatives: fairways are spotty, exacerbated by local goose population. A common problem for many bay area courses stymied by state waterfowl protections. A serpintine creek provides a continuous water hazard around the course. No issue with the hazard, but do wish they could make the water less stagnant and flow more like a real stream. Perhaps a few strategically placed pumps and some hydraulic engineering are included in future plans.
Forgiving course
This is an easy to moderate course, not very long, and very forgiving. For the price, its a good deal. I also liked the grass driving range.
Good overall
We had a good day. I felt the greens could have been a lot better. They were slow and rough like they had not been cut in a few days. Other then that the course is in very good shape.
Thanks...
This course is ridiculously expensive for what it offers...
Peacock Gap is a nice course, please don't get me wrong. But for a round of Golf, a cart, and a bucket of balls, I could pay the same amount to go to almost any of the very nice country clubs in the surrounding area as a guest. In some cases, it would be even less.
Peacock has gotten a bit better, but there are still course inconsistencies (mud splotches near greens for example) that for the premium price they are charging you'd expect to be in better shape.
Greens need attention
I played with my wife, we were booked as a twosome. It was slow playing, so we joined a solo player in front of us.
The greens were not in good condition, and the course in general needs attention.
Beautiful location, very nice staff, and a great bar and restaurant.
I am sure that when the club house is finished, it will add to the quality of PGCC even more.
1st time there
Very pleasantly surprised. Near the city, friendly fellow players, nice facilities I thought the fairways were lush and the greens full, maybe slow, but nice shape.
Great course
Greens very slow but course in excellent condition.
Had a great round of golf at a descent pace...
Peacock Gap was a pleasant surprise. Course is in descent shape, better then expected and new&improved huge club house is being constructed. Place is shaping up nice!
Continue the good rebuilding work!
The greens are getting better. A couple more months and peacock will be the best public course in Marin. Some really nice holes. The sand traps are really well maintained. Enjoyed the day, especially because I could hit a good bucket before I played.
Greens were in horrible shape, it was like putting on a gravel road
Course a bit flat,, good location.. But all the greens need to be redone period.. Horrible condition
Shag
Putting greens have been redone from the disaster a few months ago. However, might consider putting with a driver from distance because they have the speed of a shag carpet and are slllllllllllllllllllllllow!
Greens have had some sort of fungus, liked the layout of the course
Had a hole in one on number 10, so I was happy! Greens weren't in good condition as they had some sort of fungus over the winter. Liked the layout of the course overall and was challenging enough without being ridiculous.
Good course with great views, but the greens are in rough shape.
Pretty nice course, and good for the price. A few of the holes had great views over the water, so that was nice. I didn't really have many complaints aside from the greens being in rough shape, but that's because they were doing a bunch of repairs. They were slow to start the day off, but quickened up once the course dried up and we got to the holes that didn't need work. Overall a good course, and I'd definitely come back once the greens were fixed.
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.
Sincerely,
