The golf course features an absolutely great layout that effectively challenges players' skills. While the fairways are quite brown and in need of some TLC, which is understandable during the dry season, the well-maintained greens add to the challenge. Despite these issues, the course remains enjoyable, and I give it 5 stars for its outstanding layout and the overall experience.

Been hearing from other golfers that this place is closing, and the owner has sold half of the land to RV camping site ........ That's too bad, cause this is one of the best course around the Bay Area, even through it's not well maintained, but the landscape and ambience is 👍 good Lots of up and down hills, that you need to tee off across the ditches, challenging but fun. I like Hole 12 particularly, you need to drive the ball across a small valley, and you need to control your second shot by not hitting too well to fly over the green and get into another valley. BTW, the brown valley, the green trees, the blue skies, and the white clouds, it just all add up.

Look it’s a decent public golf course. It has some maintenance issues but the bones are good with some really memorable holes. I wish more Bay Area golfers walked as the game is meant to be walked and recognize that a cart is for those who are infirm at least on courses designed to be walked like this one. It’s a solid b+ and worth playing from time to time. Hope they go back and improve as this area is lacking in golf.

Here is my hot take... it this a course that is in Tour level shape? No, but it is very playable and doesn't deserve the knocks it gets. Scenic views with fun/open layout with some intriguing risk/reward shots. Most importantly, this is a course where you can play 18 in 4.5 hours on most days with a very fair greens fees.

4-21-23 2nd year hosting tourney here and we had a blast! Eric was awesome once again and dinner was great. Golf course is a fun track! ....Our group hosted a golf tournament today and Eric, Adam, Greg and the rest of staff were awesome. The course was in good shape and everyone loved the character of course. It was a nice track and somewhat forgiving. We'll definitely be back.
