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.

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.
Fun course. Moderate challenge for average golfers
Greens need attention and improvement. It's in bad shape.
4/26 - Wait couple of week to play
Every green was in terrible shape and probably need another couple of weeks to get in shape. 3 temporary greens. Round however was discounted 20%.
Temporarily Can't Recommend
Peacock Gap is one of my favorite courses in the Bay Area, but a fungus apparently attacked the greens this Spring and the course's response was a zealous application of stuff that made the greens virtually unplayable. I wish they had posted that info on Golf Now before I made my reservation -- or had a warning label on the reservation form.
Sad
This is my local course and it is absolutely unplayable currently.
I hope they get the greens repaired but that's going to be an all summer task. The greens are half dead and by far the worst greens I've ever witnessed. It is really too bad becasue the new ownership has made great strides in getting this nplace turned around.
Not worth 50% off much less the 20% discount they are offering.
Course has potential BUT
Greens are absolutely horrible!! You don't even putt they are so bad. They must have a disease or something. I'd imagine greens will be be closing for awhile to get under control. Think burnt, bumpy, bare muddy spotted green. My advise, go to hole 9 before paying and take a look. Even ask some players.
Avoid until course is re-built
I don't know what the plans are, but the greens have been left to rot. I haven't spoken with anyone, but they must be planning on changing the grass on the greens with the clubhouse re-build currently underway. Every green on the property, including the several practice greens, are half dirt. I paid ten bucks to play and was cheated. The poor guy I played with paid $36 (ouch). Golfnow showed an "aeration alert", but these greens haven't been aerated for many months. This is not currently a playable course.
The greens are unplayable
Great course design and I loved this course. They have serious problem with there greens and are unplayable and will be for some time.
Greens are horrible
I don't know what they're doing with their greens, but they are the worst of any course I've ever played. Looks like they may have had a serious weed problem and they're killing it now, lots of dead spots, divots and sand on greens. Completely horrible.
The course is a good layout, but requires attention
I have played Peacock for many years. The greens are the issue. They sanded them a while ago and there is still quite a bit of sand on them. We played automatic 2 putt once on the"green". Hopefully they will fix this problem soon.
Poor golf experience
I used to really love this course. Over the past 3 years it has gone from a forgotten relic to a restored gem but has fallen back into disrepair & has become quite ugly in many regards.
Sure the new clubhouse & bar are very nice and it is pleasant to see the old building in rubble. The newly designed greens & bunkers make for a much more enjoyable (and fair) round as well. However, my latest experience was lacking in hospitality & included a run-in with extremely rude golfers.
When I showed up to the first tee the starter barely acknowledged my presence. After swinging clubs for about 5 minutes. He asked what I was doing there. Shortly later he told me there was nobody else to pair me with and let me go off as a single. Shortly after that I was in the fairway about to hit when I hear golf balls dropping behind me. The starter had let a twosome tee off when I was in the middle of the fairway. The starter then drives towards me but just keeps on going as I ask him if these two guys are joining me. He yells something as he drives away & his little buddy behind him heckled me for not being on the green yet. Classy.
Luckily the twosome were extremely nice older gentelmen who I enjoyed sharing the round with. However, later in the round a group of "members" start harassing me for hitting into them. I believe my ball landed about 10 yards behind them while they were on the green. It was my drive on a par 4... I didn't realize I would put it that close to the green. I apologized but one of the members decided to use profanity & call me quite a few names before going on with his round. It was a beautiful sunday, nobody was hurt & there was no need for such ugliness. Again, no class.
The worst part of the round was by far the greens. Much more rude than the members! I remember when all the greens were in near perfect shape a year ago. Now they are barely playable. Worst greens in the bay area for a course asking $40 - 75!+.
It appears that Peacock Gap has hit some form of odious complacency after the reboot. From the staff to the members to the greens... the place has fallen far since last year.
Bottom Line: Terrible greens. Cold staff & abusive members. Not worth the money.
Nice layout and value, needs work
The course is good value for money in the area and has a nice layout, but needs work. The greens were practically unplayable due to a fungus problem the course was experiencing -- like putting over sand. The course also has a grass range, which could be great. However, most patrons that go there don't know how to hit off a grass range and take massive divots in random patterns as opposed to nice strips. I like the course, and it's inexpensive, but you need to temper expectations until they fix the greens.
