SGGC gets a lot of my golf attention. I have played it as much, if not more, than any other course in the Bay Area. It is not perfect and the ownership/management pattern has been in flux for the past few years. American Golf came in an built some bridges, replaced some bunkers (with slightly new configurations) and just scratched their head about the deceased, in my opinion, signature tree in the middle of the 18th fairway. Underfoot conditions can be spotty at times while the setting is among the best in the entire area. Many memorable late afternoon rounds here and as well as my best NCGA Qualifier for the NetAm in 2000 (if memory serves me well). The practice area, that used to be part of the 9th hole, allows one to hit full wedges and sand irons. A large practice putting surface offers every conceivable break. Front and back are dramatically different in character and #11 is one of the toughest par-4s in the Bay Area. The Clubhouse and Pro Shop are comfortable and generally well stocked. I have a soft spot in my heart for this course and find it a better value (with internet specials) and challenge than many.
