san ramon

The signature 9th hole was being worked on so we didng get to play it and some of the fairway bunkers were also being attended to . The area around green #10 was under repair. With all the workmen and carts and trucks on 5 or 6 holes they should have informed golfers that work is being done and offer a discount or something I would think. But the layout is great and conditions are fair and with all that we had a great round I will be back soon.

Nice Muni type course with some difficulty

San Ramon Golf Course has been around for awhile. The course winds through a neighborhood. The homes are older but the area is nice. The course is long enough to challenge an avid golfer but manageable as well. The toughest holes on the course are nine and eighteen. Nine has an island green and the landing angle is very tough. Eighteen shares the same water hazard but has one open side to miss a shot without finding the watery grave.

Why even charge for the carts?

Played here fairly regularly over the past 5 years and it's starting to slip again. Carts are awful and most holes are labeled "cart path only." Greens were in good shape and finished 18 in 4.5 hours, so that was a positive. But the course Marshall was pretty ignorant. I'd prob not play here again until they have new carts and water the par 5's more.

Very forgiving course to have fun.

It's not a challenging course when you can slice a ball 30 yards off the fairway and the rough is cut to nearly the same length, BUT IT SURE IS FUN! This course plays short and is very forgiving. Difficult to lose a ball. This course also has a great membership rate for those local and or retired. My only gripe, the tee boxes need to be leveled.

Year end golf treat

I played Wente the day before in 50 mph winds, so San Ramon on this cool day was like a Caribbean dream.
The course was in good shape and the greens were true. Unsure if the waffle pattern is a new aeration technique, but it did not affect the roll of the ball.
The only frustration was our cart began to die on hole # 7. We made it to the turn and exchanged it for another. That cart began to die on #15.

Wet, wet and wet!

If it has rained for a week with no sun, please avoid this course! It was wet, soggy, muddy, had puddles, standing water.... Just unplayable. They should have closed the course for a few days. I have played the course before in summer, and it can be nice.

A decent public golf courese

This is a decent public golf course with some interesting layout. The course sit on a flat area, very walkable, still got some challenge with trees, water and OBs. Back 9 is more interesting. Hole #9 and #18 are probably signature holes for this course, both grees are well guarded by water, especially with an island green on #9.

Nice Course

Played here once before and its a nice friendly course. Have played most courses in the bay area and its a decent course . Not super hard and very fair . Greens in very good condition but fairways could use some TLC. Worth the money and it would be a good course for a beginner or intermediate player . You still have to have a good short game to score but not as hard as say StoneTree in Novato , or Hidden Valley. Would come back and it is well worth playing.

Value for money

Short course. Not very long or tough. Good for high handicappers and walkers. Pace if play could be very slow. We played as a 5 some and no marshals around.

Nobody behind us--the twosome we were paired up with were of low skill level, but they picked up (ran out of balls!) Really was a nice day for me and the wife.

Well done Mr. Greens Keeper

I have been playing this course for 20 years. And I hope that those who have been disappointed in the past decades don't find this again. For a public course who which get 61,000 rounds a year, the course was in great shape. Yes, I said great....the greens were fantastic. I actually had a moment to speak with the greens keeper, who is new. (only been there two years) As per his comments as why the change....."he cares". As for playability and difficulty. I am an avg golfer that enjoys the day as much as the course. My scratch friends tell me it is an avg course now in great shape. One weekends, it like every other course is ridiculously slow, so play it during the week.

Decent conditioned course with nice greens

Course is in good shape considering how dry it has been in the area. Looks like they are letting the edges of the course go brown and saving the water for the middle of the course. Greens were very nice. Did not have to wait much on any holes and had an enjoyable round.

Not much elevation change but good use of area

Holes are laid out well and requires fairly straight shots on some of the holes. The 9th green is an island green and requires a shot that lands and doesn't roll very much or else your ball will end up in the water.

The rest of the course is fun to play and works well for a social outing.

Fairly easy round enjoyed the course

6:33 tee time and the weather was absolutely perfect. Pace of play was 4 hrs.. My wife and I walked the course and enjoyed every step of the way. The Marshalls were cheery and helpful when needed. It's been awhile since I have played at San Ramon but I was pleased the greens were in very good shape and course over all played very well. I will return soon.

Great Greens Nice Course

Great weather made golf at San Ramon that much better. The fairways were average the greens were top notch for a muni course. Pace of play was fine. Holes are surrounded by houses. You have to cross many streets between holes. The rough was enough to hurt a little but not so much that you look for your ball forever. Distance was good. But the greens were fantastic. Don't plan on lunch, that have a full bar but the food is very very limited. Overall good value ...
