San Ramon Golf Club

We paid for 18 holes - only played 10!! And we skipped one hole to get in front of some Very Slow Players. There definitey should be a Starter to make players aware of some Very Basic Rules! For the same reason there should be a roving Marshall - we only saw him when we teed off on the first hole and we played for 2 3/4 hours - then left!! Also there were non-players riding bikes on the course and also a group of walkers with dog in mid-afternoon on Sunday -- it was Very Dangerous!! Signs and penalties should be posted for Their Safety and Yours - if they should get hit by an errant ball.

You can't expect 4.5 hour rounds on the weekend, but yesterday's round was terrible! San Ramon G.C. allows 5 somes, and does not have Marshalls to monitor play. We muddled through the front nine, and we thought play would speed up after the group in front of us dropped out after 9. We caught up to the group in front of us after the 10th hole, and found out that it was a five some; playing as if it was the final round of the Masters. There was no group that we could see in front of them, and they did not have the common courtesy to let us play throug. After 12 holes I couldn't handle it any more, so we called it a day. I complained to the Pro Shop, and they appologized. They also confirmed that 5 somes are allowed, and no marshall were on duty.

Greens are in great shape. Fairways are good condition

Played this afternoon taking advantage of the great twilight deal of $16.00. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the restaurant staff were friendly and helpful as well. The staff were very flexible at getting me out before a foursome, but the afternoon was busy. was paired with another single and we went out at 2:30 PM. The front 9 played very slowly, 2 hours and 45 minutes, we waited at each hole for 2 - 5 minutes before hitting and sometimes waiting in the fairways too, the back 9 was a different story with due to the cold wind that was blowing all afternoon. Was able to walk over and tee up immediately, with no waiting at any hole. POP was 4:40 minutes, with the back 9 taking 1 hour 45 minutes.

Conditions:
Tee boxes: were mainly level with just a few that took a moment or two to find a level spot to tee from, but the grass was lush with only a few having divot damage that I poured the sand / seed mix into.

Fairways and rough: the fairways at times had some divot damage, but were mainly in great shape, the rough had some areas with bare spots, but mainly pretty thick, and challenging to hit out of, which was frequent being the course is very tight.

Greens and sand-traps: The greens except for new ball marks, from a couple groups playing before, that were not repaired amazed me, repaired minimum of three to four each hole sometimes more. But they were rolling very smooth and true and Fast, took about three holes to adjust. The sand-traps, was never in one, all looked to be in good shape, the sand was fairly soft from what I could tell watching my playing partners hit out of 3 traps.

Recommend this course, enjoyable but be ready for the tight and windy conditions.

Glad we played the blue which made it more challenging and fun. The greens was not bad and easy to read. The fairways and rough are well in control. This place is overall fun to play if you do not try too had to push for distance. The second shots are more important than the the first from the tee box.

No starter. Guys in the clubhouse not informative. Too may singles, twosomes playing more then one ball and a fivesome in front if us. Bad golf etiquette ! And no one to call. Will not play here again if it's like this on a Thursday afternoon!!!!

Really fun to play. Need to play it a few times to know the "ins and outs". The staff was very friendly. Only issue was lack of notification regarding some of the fairways being recently plugged and the greens were sanded and aerated a few weeks ago. Course will be in great shape by middle May.

The greens were just sanded and we played on a cart path only day but other than that I loved this course.All the cart paths are smooth concrete. Fairways were wide and in good shape. The staff was great. They honored our tee time even though we were a day late ( not sure if we had a senior moment or golf now made the mistake ) .
Thanks again Pro shop. I just booked another tee time for next week

I like go back to play this course every month regularly. but most weekend they have lots people to play. sometime we spend more then five hours to finish the game. If we can finish between 4 to 41/2 hours,

Greens are in great shape and the play time is good.

Course is a pretty typical Muni course, with an interesting layout though. Some holes you have to watch your tee shot, or lose the ball into some persons backyard. The pro shop person checking us in was very friendly, and even helped us out because we had to leave half way through the round because of an emergency that came up. Pace was pretty slow, which is tough. We played on the Friday after Thanksgiving.

Played the San Ramon Golf Course today. Known for their 343 yard, Par 4, 9th Hole with an Island green. Where a decent shot off the tee will leave you with a short iron approach to the a front sloping green. Hitting it above the slope should keep you dry and out of the water. The course plays 6526 yds./Slope 127 from the tips. Most holes are fairly straight forward ...only a few bunkers, doglegs and trees hazards, but plenty of houses which line most of the fairways left and right. Fairways were in decent shape with a few dry spots and the greens were a little bumpy from being punched recently. But they weren't rolling to badly. Weather was great today... mid 70's with little to no wind.

No marshall to maintain the courses. Too slow a pace.

Great weather to play and have a great time with friends.

I hadn't played here in a while, seemed like the last few times I played here the course was crowded on the weekends. But, I had a chance to get out there before the crowds on a Tuesday (tee off at 3:30) and was surprised that it was very open. Had a blast out there. Course was in really good condition, fairways were nice, greens were nice and the sand traps seemed maintained too. I really like the hole layout here too, some tough holes mixed in with some manageable holes. I will definitely be going back. Good value for the money!

The course is challenging because it demands shots be made to keep the ball in the fairway on almost every hole so that you are not hitting into someone's backyard. I had a great time and will be back.

San Ramon Golf Course provided a fun, well balanced, and scenic tour through the heart of a beautiful community. The GolfNow deal w/ the cart was fantastic.

This course has some redeeming qualities. #9 and #18 are fun because of the water. The Par 3s are tough and the greens are in fairly good shape. The course uses reclaimed water which smells terrible when the sprinklers come on. Many of the ball washers are empty of soap and water. Too many sand traps are just dry and hard with no sand. It's an OK value at $30 w/cart but I would never pay $63 on the weekend when I can play Tahoe Donner for $60. SRGC needs help, it is bordering on becoming a cow pasture.

Played on Sat afternoon and after taking 2 hr and 45 minutes just to play 9 holes, I quit. Groups in front of me were terribly slow, playing from back tees, and there was never a marshal. When I turned in my cart key to get my deposit back and told the person in the shop, all he said was sorry, I am here all by myself. Not worth it, unless you like 6 hr rounds!

I love this place. It's not super hard but it is challenging. The greens are nice and the pin placement is as it should be on a Sunday.
The staff is very friendly and extremely helpful especially Dan and Rob.
Thanks,
