A nice day, but should be noted that the greens rating was severly influenced by the recent aeration. Nice layout, but could be better marked in some cases. E.g., the temporary tees on 15 were difficult to find (across the water) and the distance to the green was not well marked. In general, well worth the cost, and a fun track.

I live a mile away from this course and never thought enough of it to bother playing it until now. But now,the cost of gas makes me shy away from long trips to better courses, and after finally playing on Earl Frye a few weeks ago for the first time in years,I discovered..... this is actually not a bad course at all. Its better than I thought it would be. Compared to high quality landscapes like Hiddenbrooke and Stonetree, alameda ,of course,cant shine like that, but for what its worth,alameda(earl frye) has just enough interesting landscape, mostly found in the dog leg holes,there are just enough interesting golf shots,over trees,cutting corners, just enough interesting contour of the course,avoiding water hazards,etc,nice condition fairways,and greens that are in good shape (for the moment/ but they will get chopped up through the summer),a decent twilight price of 20 bucks for residents, ....that it all makes this golf course a decent place to play.Not spectacular,but just good enough to be satisfied. and the bonus,for me, is that when I'm finished....I'm 4 minutes away from home. would I go out of my way and drive 40 miles to play here? No. would I pay 30+ dollars to play it ? no. In comparison to other courses you may be familiar with, I would call it slightly better than Metropolitan; maybe on a par with Tilden and Franklin Canyon. not quite as good as San Geronimo,Rancho Solano,Roddy Ranch or Shadow Lakes in terms of scenic beauty, or great golf shot landscape. Alameda is a flat course,and I like the rolling hills and interesting contours of courses like Delta View and Tilden,different looks to every hole,elevated greens,just things that make a hole Look interesting and memorable,inviting you with enough challenge to make a great shot .Alameda has some places where that happens,mostly on those nice dog leg holes.... but theres not alot that a designer can do with a flat landscape to make it look interesting, and alameda does about as good as it can to give you some interesting golf shots...a few narrow fairways,a few interesting water hazards,nice dog legs, strong wind at times,and just enough challenge to make you work for a good score.
Earl Frye is a decent golf experience. the staff in the proshop is considerate and flexible.The course is typically crowded but the pace of play is not hideous.
The practice facility is very good.and is lit up at night.
Its worth playing Alameda (earl frye) and if you live in the east bay, you might find it as nice to play as metropolitan and maybe even a little better.

Greens are up and down, some nice, some not so great. The course is short, not terribly difficult.

Overall, I'd say you get what you pay for.

This used to be my home course so, I've played more rounds on it then I can remember. I've seen it in worse shape (temp greens and a whole lot of aeration going on) but it still left a little something to be desired. The fairways are in really good shape but the greens were riddled with scars, bare patches and ball marks. The green fees are very reasonable so you can almost overlook the condition of the course. However, if I were going to spend the money anyway I'd rather pay a little more and play somewhere else.
One positive: If you join the free E-Newsletter for the course you get a free birthday round of golf good for the week before and the week after your birthday. That being said any course is worth playing if you can play it for free!

Course was is good condition, staff is always friendly and courteous. Even though it rained, the course held up very well. Earl Fry Course (North) though shorter in distance is the more fun to play then the Jack Clark (South) course. I would definitely recommend playing North course if at all possible. Great value for the price, $35.00, for non-residents.
