Not an “In-Person” review but information I feel should be passed on…

Got some intel via a reliable source from within the Admiral Baker Men’s Club who played there today that the greens, which were aerated last Tue/Wed, are in “horrible condition”. He alao added “they were like temporary greens” and “they need at least another week or two…if not more…to recover”.

Got some intel via a reliable source from within the Admiral Baker Men’s Club who played there today that the greens, which were aerated last Tue/Wed, are in “horrible condition”. He alao added “they were like temporary greens” and “they need at least another week or two…if not more…to recover”.

Considering the amount of play the course gets, that seems like a fair assessment. And with that in mind, I’ve gone ahead and cancelled a tee time I had for this Friday without hesitation.

Played on Sunday, the last day before overseeding and it couldn't come soon enough.

The good: greens were in nice shape, starting to return to speed and holding nicely. Rough is heavy bermuda, ball sinks to bottom most of time. Penal. The way it should be.

The bad: Everything else. Looks like an abandoned golf course from the street. When playing it's even worse. ... » More

The bad: Everything else. Looks like an abandoned golf course from the street. When playing it's even worse. Reminds me of the Bonneville salt flats. Basically dirt with some small patches of grass with white sand/salt showing thru. Tee boxes weren't much better.

Hopefully we see a transformation by Dec 1. Not holding my breathe.

Played this AM on a beautiful morning for golf.

Senior rate $51 which is not bad for the quality of this golf course.

Course is doing aeration later this month but right now it is in top shape.

Tee boxes all fine.

Course is doing aeration later this month but right now it is in top shape.

Tee boxes all fine.

Fairways nice and green with good lies good roll out all morning.

Rough was not to penal but being damp it played a little tougher than of course when it is dry.

Traps were perfect heard no complaints even from me.

Greens here as I have mentioned before are HUGE. Getting your ball into the right area to avoid 3 putts is challenging. Local knowledge is important when playing this course when it comes to putting.

Excellent customer service in the shop.

IMO one of the nicest public courses one can find in N CA.

One of the worst experiences playing this course. Starting off they never mentioned any bad conditions on their course. They charged the full rate though the conditions were more than terrible. The greens were so bad that we just wanted to leave after the 1st hole but were not sure if we will get refunded. 2nd hole had a temporary green which is so horrible that you should just... » More

One of the worst experiences playing this course. Starting off they never mentioned any bad conditions on their course. They charged the full rate though the conditions were more than terrible. The greens were so bad that we just wanted to leave after the 1st hole but were not sure if we will get refunded. 2nd hole had a temporary green which is so horrible that you should just skip it. Every hole the greens are like it’s 18th century. Bumpy, sanded , punched, fungus, brown spots, you name it. Fairways have so many loose gravel all over the place.

After change in ownership it started to show signs of a good golf course. Seems like they let that go. Don’t see any maintenance on this course. I think this course is damaged beyond wildest dreams. If you are planning to play, Beware. Greens are just F***d up. Save your dollars and just avoid playing here. So bummed that course has no shame to even communicate taking our money. This is no more than a $20 course, if this is the only course on planet earth to play. Unbelievable.

GK pls update your green quality on this as Solid bumpy and brown. It’s no where green. Scammed.

We had another beautiful morning with no wind and a beautifully maintained course.

Tee boxes all great.

Fairways had been mowed cleaned and provided great lies on lush fairways and good roll out.

Traps all clean and no issues playing out of them that early in the day.

Rough had been cut but was still about 3/4 inch and while able to find your ball you needed a strong swing to get the ball out.

Greens had been mowed and were just great to play on. They held and released shots depending upon what you were trying to do and chipped/putted excellent all round. No signs of divots or unrepaired divots as well.

Terrific customer service in the shop.

Stopped into the Fairway grill and had my usual breakfast sandwich and coffe for $6.
