San Ramon Golf Club

Golfnow had a warning (exclamation mark) next to tee time, but no information about why the mark was there. We didn't find out that the tee boxes and greens had been aerated (and greens covered with sand), until we arrived. Also no warning that the driving range and snack bar were closed. The staff provided a discount for playing, and were apologetic. Course was in good shape, and other than a few wet spots the course was fairly dry 36 hours after rain. The sandy greens were heavy and slow, and playing cart path only turned the round into 5 1/2 hours. The rough was 3-4 inches and heavy, applying a severe penalty if you were off the fairway. At the turn, we noticed the driving range and food service was open. The weather was great (70 degrees, 5-10 mph wind). I will return when the rough is lighter and the greens heal.

This course is fun because of the lay out. It's in rough shape due to weather which isn't a big deal. The grass was being cut for what looks like the first time in a couple weeks while we were playing. My issue with this course is how terrible the maintenance staff is. The crew mad no effort at all to get out of the way of us playing. My father had to play his shot from 100 yards in the middle of the fairway with a mower parked right inbetween him and the hole while another one continued to roll right to the side of him. The entire front 9 we had to play around the maintenance crew and they wouldn't make any effort at all to get out of our way to play. I understand that they have to do their job but this was ridiculous. Very frustrating.

nice course for the price you can get good deals I played in the winter and course was in good shape

You'd better watch the lake right before green on 9th & 18th holes.

The course was in good condition but there was no Marshall on the course. The front nine pace was okay By the time we got to the back nine, the group in front of us was two shots off. By the time we got to the 14th hole, ( a par three), the 15th hole, ( a par 5) was completely open.

I cheap place to in the Tri-Valley...
They were 30 minutes behind on the tee time and the pace of play was awful. People behind playing up and people ahead complaining that I were hitting to quickly. Maybe we just got stuck between I bad group.

Nice course. all the holes run in between houses. Lots of slope around some of the greens. Allot of soft spots where water acclimated.
I hit some great shots that actually ended up in really bad spots.
Greens rolled nice and were in good shape.
Pace of play was nice. We teed off early and they let people out on the back 9 and we got slowed down in the last 4 holes. We still finished in 3.5 hours so not bad.
Course could play harder if the wind started blowing.

I have been to San Ramon many times and this is my first review of the course. I got a hotdeal from golf.now and so it was worth it. The course has a good layout. The first hole is interesting. For long hitters, it's a 3 wood or less off the tee. The second hole is 200+ yards from the blue and is a challenging 2nd hole, especially if you haven't warmed up at the driving range. The fairways are green enough, and the rough is thick - especially around the greens. Sand play is not too bad, at least it's not hard pan like Brentwood. The greens are moderately quick and depending on where the pin is, there could be some challenging approach and putts.

Tee boxes - some were not flat and were hitting with the ball above level or below. But not too bad to affect the tee shot that much.

Pace of play for a Sunday was 4+ hrs. We did not have to wait, but we stayed at least a shot behind the group in front of us. Cart person was available throughout the round.

All-in-all, a good value at $29/person w/cart. Though I wish that they would have more water stations throughout the golf course.

My son and I had a wonderful day of golf at San Ramon. We had great weather, got paired up with two nice men (Carl & Paul), and putted on the best greens I've played in years. These greens are fast and true. We both agreed these were the best putting greens we
have played in a long long time. It was fun.

Very nice place with great staff! Also nice practice area...thank you!

Had a company meeting/bowling party in Pleasanton.
Then my co-worker and I decided to shoot a round of golf at 3:30pm, better than sitting in traffic back to Napa. Course was in great shape easy to get too. I would recommend this course and I would come back again.

Thanks

Customer service was great. Course was nice, up kept well, and had good scenery. Will play again!

But 9th hall is very difficult .
If you make flet green it will be good course.

San Ramon GC has always been a fun course to play but recently they re-did all of the bunkers - moving some, taking some out- with the resulting bunker play greatly improving the play. It's a great course with the improvements!

The course is looking great! New sand in the bunkers, brand new carts, and the fairways and tee boxes are in better shape than expected. Some areas of ground under repair, but that's to be expected. Conditions much improved over last year.

pace was too slow, golf should not take over five hours to play on a Thursday afternoon. need to marshall slow play

Marshal was rude and actually drove up on a player as he was taking his shot

I've played here many times but today wasn't the most memorable. I realize with the construction going on it probably couldn't be helped. The center of the course was pretty good but the rough was a bit too tall Maybe with construction, mowing got behind??

Good value for the money the greens were plugged and sNdied

The course has been under construction, new sand traps etc. I am a beginner so not a lot to compare it to. I enjoyed the wide open flat fairways and mostly flat greens. I will play here again and look forward to the finished product.
