Played last Sunday using golfguide.org after 10am for $49.00, cart with G.P.S. included. Course is in moderately good condition overall. Local rule allows g.u.r. for bare spots on fairways and rough. Course is neo-links style, i.e. no trees. Next to Oakland Airport so typically windy in the afternoons. Front nine is pretty much nondescript but the back nine is more interesting. Greens were in good shape, fairly true, rolled well but not lightning fast. Refreshment cart tantalized us but never made it to us for some reason. Play was slow at times due to second foursome ahead of us. Marshall was very nice and kept us apprised of the situation as he prodded them along. One of the few local courses that has a grass driving range. A good value using golfguide.org but it was a bit confusing finding the weekend rate after 10am because it was in a drop-down menu under the weekday heading.

All and all a very good test of your golf skills. Greens have a lot of movement in them and present numerous short game challenges. Links style course will vary dramatically with daily changes in wind velocity. Convenient location and reasonable rates are available if one looks around or is a e-mail member.

First time at this course. A little too much $$ if you don't have a discount ($65.00 to walk on 8/6/11 Saturday). Some long walks from greens to T's and no views of the bay, the airport yes and on the back you go by a treatment plant. PU. But all in all it was a good time.

Played 4-12, course in very good shape, fairways firm and fast, greens firm and smooth. Pace of play dragged as it usually does here but understandable since the wind picked up after 2 pm and it got t... Continue »

Played 4-12, course in very good shape, fairways firm and fast, greens firm and smooth. Pace of play dragged as it usually does here but understandable since the wind picked up after 2 pm and it got tough. $40 internet rate fair for the condition and will go back again.

Played day after Christmas rained for several days but did not rain today. Course holds up well overall with some puddling here and there but very playable. Greens were still true and fairly fast. Driving range was grass, not mats surprisingly. Fairways were decent considering time of year, tee boxes good. Cart have G.P.S. but cart path only today. Poles in fairway are for aiming only so without many yardage markers, you need some sort of hand held range finder. All in all, best wet conditions course in area. Staffers are friendly and helpful. No drink cart that we saw. Clubhouse in good shape, bathroom clean and modern. Well-kept premises.

Played early morning on 8/1/09 in under 4.5hrs. Fairways were amazing. Greens had many ball marks. Entire course doesn't favor left handed players with a fade as there is no bail out areas on the left side of the fairways. GPS in the carts work great. Holes 14 and 15 border a pond of waste, so be sure not to breath.

Conditioning was average to poor with hardpan /dry spots in the middle of several fairways. Greens were good. Skip it unless you've got a great web special. I wouldn't pay more than $40 w/ cart for th... Continue »

Conditioning was average to poor with hardpan /dry spots in the middle of several fairways. Greens were good. Skip it unless you've got a great web special. I wouldn't pay more than $40 w/ cart for this course.

Very challenging with the wind and planes flying right overhead.

It's a pretty course, challenging and a mixed layout. Especially pretty in some area with some marshland. Course is in good shape. If anyone knows bay weather near the coast, it is unbelievably windy at times, and the course seems to seem to be in one of the worst spots. Check the weather reports and play during a time before the wind start.

Otherwise, customer service is OK but the cost is a little high. If you can find deals on golfnow, it is well worth the price of admission.
