5/12/19 early out on a sunny cool morning start. Golf Moose special rate for two plus the early weekend start time extra fee. Worth the rate. My kind of golf, set the brisk pace let a couple singles through. 3.5 or less POP
Course condition is in good to better than good right now. I read the older reviews here and didn't know what to expect as I have not been here for a couple years. Happy to report that course is playable and fun. "new" management in third year doing good job.
Greens good to better than that rolling med to slow holding lines not to undulating medium sized mostly. The cart paths are a little confusing at times (front going to 4th tee and to 7th) and the back (12th to 13th and sight line for tee shot on this par 5) Your eye sees the 14th green straight out but the hole doglegs over the right sand trap. Green keeper helped get us reacquainted. Good mix of shorter longer holes. Fairways good rough maintained and the bunkers OK with material but need TLC to fluff up imo for more consistency.
Friendly staff well stocked 19th Hole.
Out of the way course unless you live in the area. River levee, and surrounding walnut farms borders course nearby rice patties are seen driving in from east.
A fun easier track went here to build confidence to elevate my game for the more golf challenges to come this spring summer. Did that; Recommend.

5/11/19 mid afternoon Saturday round in perfect weather. This is a older military course turned city or county muni and holds on to it's AF roots with tees named Bomber Navigator Mustang and water stations "hydration hangers" the tee makers shaped like bombs.

Older design good shape overall and a decent $35 rate with cart. Greens good to very good rolling medium slow a few unrepaired ball marks. Consistent and full no bare spots. Fairways good tight lies rough not overly penal, tee boxes a bit shaggy but playable.

Bunkers ok seems like a lot of courses are not maintaining bunkers as well as they have in years past. Played three days in a row and the public course bunkers seem average to less at best. Don't find many prepped with a machine drag or raking for consistency.

Good day beer cold service great. Course seemed busy but starter said it was a bit slow for the perfect weather and course conditions. We played as a twosome following many groups and were at that pace all day to the 4 1/2+ hr POP too slow for me but had to get a match in. You can score here with a decent game of which I didn't have this day.

Recommend and a follow-up review coming a 5/25 return planned.

5/10/19 early afternoon round. Great deal $8 to walk found on-line. Rack rate $16. Overall course is in good to better shape. It is a challenging 9-holer with all skills needed to master this foothill track. In a valley and plenty of shade with the large valley oaks and redwoods. Greens medium to slower speed wise fully healed from aeriation. Ready for the summer.

Got around in two hours POP is usually ok as it was today. Simple functional facility great staff and three Buds for $10.50 (1 each for 3-some) doesn't break the budget and was refreshing on this sunny afternoon.

Recommend.

Also part of the GK event 5/5 teeing it up for the first time here at this down under links style. Which I would say is architecturally accurate. Flat and fast fairways with tight lies the norm. Previous reviews of this day are accurate and telling. Conversed with the starter at the turn and she said it was typical for the wind to kick up in the afternoon. It's location on the east side of SF bay supports that and was what we experienced. Busy place and the slow play offset by the company and playing a course for the first time to keep it interesting during waiting. The large greens were immaculate and fair for the design. Where the play maybe to bump an approach in and roll to the pin instead of the high pitch and sticking it. Either skill necessary and productive depending on your angle in.

I will add that the large parking lot is necessary as there is another regulation course (North) here and a par 3 course and a nice driving range some stalls having shade coverings and automatic ball set. The facility was busy as mentioned and the pro shop well stocked. Service great with friendly staff. Beverage cart out seeing it many times.

Service was great. The beer cold, and the food was good. However my reuben sandwich was burnt on the plate side and delivered late as the after round gathering was mostly finished before it got to the table. It was busy in the restaurant all day but slow when we finished.

Great day and recommend as well as the GK event. Sign up for one. It's good FUN! Thanks JohnnyGK nice to have met you and the others and will do it again soon.

Played 5/3 mid Am in mild sunny weather. POP 4.75hrs acceptable for a busy Friday but a little slow none the less. Greens in great shape rolling true poa annua medium speed too slow IMO, but in really good shape few ball marks or imperfections.
Fairways above average rough well kept. The bunkers however inconsistent at best. Some had brownish sand but many had red mud and impediments. Two fairway bunkers on same hole were marked GUR and should have been. I was in one.
Overall a good track that plays short and is not that challenging. It's location (many better courses I drive by or are closer than here to my house) so I don't get here often. Like other reviews big range smaller practice greens. Staff friendly the beer is cold.
Golf moose for two deal was 46% better than the rack rate of $46 each. I won 2.5 of 3 points playing a match play event hooray!
Not a hard course so opportunity to score from any angle. (ie abutting fairways)
