Presidio has aerated, a good thing as it indicates a level of hopeful commitment to the repair of a good course gone bad under worse management. However, they are being negligent in their treatment of golfers by failing to inform them ahead of time of the sanded greens. They have been losing regular golfs at a rapid rate due to the condition of the course and the treatment of the guests. Their tournament bookings have kept them alive but will eventually suffer attrition as a byproduct of the condition of the course and the hospitality that doesn't extend to regular guests.

Absent from the list of best courses for their condition is the Links at Bodega Bay. Without exception, there is a level of pride in the course, the greens, the bunkers, etc. The staff is accomodating, friendly and helpful. They do not allow carts on the course to their benefit. Bodega is a spectacular track that offers views of the ocean from 17 holes. You cannot afford to be distracted and it helps to play with someone who has knowledge of the course.
