Played 18 today on a set of great rental clubs. Contrary to recent posts, the course was in great shape. Tees greens and fairways. Played soft throughout. Couldn't have been more pleased with the course and the folks I played with. I'll be back.

2025.8.3. Layout is not complex with flat fairways and not many hazards. Greens are very well maintained, and they roll fast but true. First time to play in California, what pleasant weather it is during this summer time!

I picked up golf during the pandemic like so many other golfers. This golf course is perfectly suited for my current skill level, which I would say is anywhere between beginner-intermediate (average score of high 80s from the tips). Frustratingly, I have struggled to match those scores on other golf courses. It’s flat, so you can walk easily. Greens are in good shape most of the time. Fairways can be better but the staff are doing their best, I think. I have played the course right after heavy storms, and it is still playable. Unfortunately, the course lost a lot of trees during last winter’s storms, so the course has gotten even easier. If you are looking for a golf course to have some fun while testing your skills, Poplar Creek Golf Course is a great option. It is definitely one of the cheaper courses in the Bay Area with a decent short game practice area, putting greens, and driving range. It has a nice restaurant as well. Pro shop has a great selection and folks there are nice. The only downside is that it can be pretty slow during the weekends at times but only understandable.

How come I didn't find Poplar creek earlier 😕!!!! Except the fact that the course design is not that challenging, Poplar creek has it all !!! Good condition, both fairways and greens; like Hole 3 and Hole 18 the most. There's a pond by the green of Hole 3, very elegant design, makes you wanna spend more time on the green; Hole 18 is surely another beauty, the astonishing green by the clubhouse is a keeper for you to keep coming back for this perfect ending.

Can play any shot here wide fairways, and a great atmosphere course is great for anybody.
