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.

The greens are dead
The overall course was in okay shape but the greens are absolutely terrible. They should not be charging as much as they are with the greens in such bad shape. Putting was nearly impossible.
Greens were horrible, wish I knew I wouldn't have booked...
The greens had some kind of fungus. Thats what the staff told us. It was either no grass and sticky like mud/clay or just sand. I think they should close and fix the problem.
Good location. NIce driving range (grass). Needs the greens repaired
I played this course in the Fall and was pleasantly surprised. The greens were in good shape and the layout was nice. This most recent time (3-3-13), unfortunately, the greens were in terrible shape due to a severe Poa annua infestation. It is the worst infestation I have ever seen. I like the course and its location but will not return until the greens have been repaired.
horrible greens
Greens were the worst greens I have ever played and they didn't even give us a discount!
Greens were awful
For $65, definitely not worth the weekend rate. Almost all of the greens were in poor condition, as if greens were infected by some type of disease causing rot and ugly blemishes across the green surfaces. SF muni Lincoln Park in much better condition for 1/3 of cost. SF golfers stay home.
Fun course with a great pace of play. Amazing grass driving range which is rare.
This is a fun course that is generally in great shape. They are having problems right now with a fungus on the greens. Otherwise, a great time.
With a cart for $77 and the greens were just mud painted green.
Honestly, I like the practice area at Peacock, but the course in the winter isn't even close to worth the fees. I can't believe they think the greens are even worth having the course open right now. I haven't played golf for that long, but there wasn't a single green out of all 18 holes that was worth the price. Until the greens are improved, I will only use the practice facility.
Course is really nice except . . .
The greens are the big downfall of this course. The fairways are in very good condition. They have a nice lounge area and grass driving range. (although the range balls are pricey) Also it was not crowded at all. But the greens are very poor, they are a combination of grass and green mud, which marks very easily. I would probably play this course again.
usually a good course
greens were really bad, a fungus or something as a moss was crowding out the grass.Rest of course was fine.
Beautiful course, greens in disrepair.
Greens were damaged and bumpy. Seemed to be in process of repair.
Ok course but kind of dull
This course was kind of blah, not too many standout holes. There were a few water hazards, but most of the holes were straight forward and did not require much strategy. The greens were terrible but we did play in mid January, so I'll give them a pass on that. We played on a Saturday and had to wait at most holes and the round took a full 5 hours.
The proshop was tiny but the range was fantastic! In my opinion, it was a little pricey for a muni course experience.
This place looks like its been abandoned!
I would give this a -5 star rating if possible. There is no grass on the greens, they are slick mud covered. The only thing they care about is the restaurant. $37 to walk!? No Thanks!
Good course layout greens were in big trouble
Price for this course is set on a walking rate and although the cart price $12.00 is reasonable quite a few players choose to walk. This makes the average round close to five hours. Course drains very poorly and when we played it in early December 2012 the greens were suffering from too much rain and a fungus. Staff was friendly and the course is well maintained but has difficulty with a moderate amount of rain.
Peacock Gap has improved to a first class golf course
I recently played here, and I was pleasantly surprised to see the improvements made in every aspect. It is an enjoyable and well maintained course. You will be happy that you played here.
What a shame....please read
First let me say this golf course is absolutely beautiful. We reserve the 712 tee time and showed up at 6:30 because we had a wedding to go to and needed to be done by 11 AM. Despite accomplishing this goal and having a round of 18 in-under four hours we were asked by the Marshall to speed up play. I suspect the group behind us did not like waiting a few minutes at the turn and called their buddy who was the Marshall. Without investigating the merits of their request the Marshall told us to speed up play then proceeded to accompany us on the remaining eight holes to ensure our play was fast. Of note, our threesome had caught up to a single golfer two holes later however the Marshall accompanied for the duration of our round and watched with binoculars as we hit every shot.
For other reasons that I won't go in to, I got the impression that this is a "locals" course and although open to the public they certainly are not welcoming to outsiders. Their "good ole boy" network made sure that my family that traveled across the country from Hong Kong to spend a relaxing morning together proved anything but relaxing.
If you're traveling from outside this area I would think twice before playing Peacock Gap golf club. This is a shame because the course is an absolutely fantastic shape and this could've been a wonderful reunion with new family. I sincerely hope that this day was an aberration and I would certainly hope that typically this course is receptive to those traveling from outside the country, however based on this experience and how sad I felt after a round of golf I have to give this beautiful course a very poor rating.
What a shame!
Peacock is tattered. Greens are garbage, course is neglected and were it not for the convenience of the course NO ONE would ever go there.
Golf Now rate has a hidden fee for a cart - nice little bonus when you arrive and the staff is rude and knows they are getting over on the cart fee - very weak!!!
Seventy something to play that track is a travesity..
Way better value at Indian Valley, San G or Stonetree...Adobe and Peacock are the 2 worst kept courses in the area but at least Adobe doesn't gouge you.
Fun Neighborhood course!
Better course than I remember. Fair. Fun community course with great staff and friendly locals. Will come back.
Nice wide open course
This is a nice course that scores easier than most. I had one of my best rounds here. They have a couple of par 5's that would be par 4's elsewhere, but this is a good course. The staff is friendly and the pace of play is pretty good. I only had to wait a couple minute for a group in front a few time, very reasonable. The course is wide open and has a great vibe. No complaint with maintenance of the course and the greens were about average in speed. Booked the tee time on a hot deal and was very satisfied with the course and the time I had.
The new clubhouse has transformed the Peacock Gap experience -- super easy to check in, hit the range, grab a snack.
If you haven't played this course since the greens were re-designed and clubhouse completed, you really need to go and play. Good value, more than a few challenges, nice people on the course!
