Overall the course was in a decent condition except for the bunker and green. As we had some rain in the week, the sand bunker was not sandy any more. It seemed there was not much of sand originally, and it completely flattened down from the rain. Putting for me was very difficult and later I found that it was not just for me. Seemed like the greens were not maintained for a while..

Course has no driving range or cage to practice. Putting green was sanded recently so putting practice was not true. Carts were, generally, in good shape. Some seats had tears in them. The course was in good shape. Greens rolled true. Fairways were pretty clean (except for the geese droppings). Rough was pretty rough (lots of lost balls in the 4-8" roughs). If you hit a pretty straight ball, you shouldn't have any worries. If you don't, bring a couple extra sleeves of balls.

Good course to play, has its challenges but nonetheless in good conditions compared to years past. Greens could use a bit of work along their bunkers, fairways are the exception, well kept and rough areas have improved. The improvements on the course are noticed however I would hope that would translate to the customer experience. Few times I’ve walked into a pro shop and not feel welcome, today was yet another reminder why I don’t play the course as much. I noticed their site has all twilight time available so I gave it a chance, tee times showed $32 on their site, as a walk in I was being charge $45, I mentioned the prices online only to find out there is a $13 charge for walk ins? Never heard of anything like this, proceed to try and book tee time online, booked a tee time for 5:30, pro shop employee made sure I waited for 30 minutes and did not let me tee off any time before even if there were no other players in front of me. Sunnyvale muni could learn some customer service tips from neighboring courses and be up to par, hopefully others have better experiences.

As far as muni golf courses go, Sunnyvale ain't too bad. If you're golfing for fun or just a beginner, a course like this will be enjoyable. Came here with some friends in a weekend afternoon and had a low stakes fun time. It's well kept enough.

My 2nd favorite "value" golf course in the immediate Bay Area. Sunnyvale has done an excellent job of maintaining their fairways and greens - especially for a muni. Fairways are absolutely lush and the greens, while a bit on the slow side, are very consistent (a must!) The sand traps, though, are hit and miss, with some barely better than soft concrete, while others offer the texture of sand one expects. The rough isn't kept up, but hey - you shouldn't be there, right? Admittedly, the flat terrain doesn't offer the most interesting layout in the world, but Sunnyvale has a very attractive finishing hole, and the the number 1 handicap #8 hole will challenge every golfer (with water left, right, and in front of the green). The staff is pleasant and efficient but, most of all, the senior walking rate is excellent. I'd give Sunnyvale 5 stars for value, if they'd just lower the cart rate - at $20 per rider, it's VERY pricey compared to a lot of courses!!
