Love This Course

This course is always fun. Just the right amount of challenging. My only complaint would be that it’s popular and the course can get backed up. Otherwise, it’s awesome.

Laid back course but strict rules

Mostly par 3 course, average conditions. Strict rule on having your own clubs and bag even though it's a really short course. They have rentals.

Quick 9-hole course of decent value

It was my first time playing a 9-hole course here and in the Bay Area. Pace of play was fast and finished 9 holes in about an hour and a half (with one partner). Found the course fun and straightforward. The course itself was not in the best shape, and the tee box on #2 was on the fairway. Would definitely come back though for a quick game after work.

Great course

It’s a great course, a little slow in the weekends but overall 2.5 hours 9 hole wasn’t too bad.

Staff rushes people so they can go home early

Wide open course in front of us, the other pair already hit when we are checking in, staff used the loud speaker to tell them to wait for us. We would have been faster as 2 pairs.
