Moffett Field Golf Club

I've played here about 5 times in the past two months after being away for 10 years. Apparently Google has taken responsibility for much of the Moffett Field infrastructure and is making a visible effort to improve the course. They've trimmed the trees and removed some other trash trees to open up the sight lines around the course. The poa greens are in good shape and run firm and fast. The fairways are a mixed bag due to the low lying flat terrain and Bay proximity. Some areas around the course have patches of bare/thin grass. Where bermuda/kikuyu has taken over, the ball sits up nicely. They're rebuilding the teeboxes one at a time and I expect the overall conditions to continue to improve. As to the course, layout there are some sharp doglegs and a quirky mix of holes that go out toward the airfield and back to the clubhouse on each of the nines. With the prevailing bay breezes, there are some challenging 200 yd. par 3's and longish par 5's to keep your attention. The daily fee is $37 for walkers and the staff is extremely courteous and helpful. The range is scruffy but the chipping and putting areas are well-maintained.

Can't beat the price for this course in that area for sure. Although the greens were a couple weeks post punch, the rest of the conditions were just average, lots of fairways in need of repairs, etc... Bunkers were good as well as the aprons, so kudos to the staff for that. Mainly played because this was rated top 10 military course in America, however 1- this course is not run by the military and 2- its not as good as at least 4 or 5 other military courses in California alone.

The conditions were terrible and not communicated before the round. The course was completely swamped. Almost everyone we ran into had a “holier than thou” attitude. Seems to be a large “in group” where everyone knows everyone, and if you’re not in that group you’re not welcome.

This is not a military course, it is run and owned by Google.

First time playing this course and I really enjoyed it. We played after recent heavy rains though, and it doesn't drain well with the bay 100' away. It was very swampy! Layout is nice although not especially challenging. Greens were in excellent condition.

Fun course, in an interesting location, it does remind me of other ex military base golf courses though. Pace of play really slow, but all in all it was a fun round. I give it a thumbs up.

Moffett course is a deceiving layout. It looks basic, and forgiving,,until you appreciate its long par 3s, challenging bankers, and several doglegs..
Playing at Moffett, reminds me of Maze game, since it requires some course layout familiarization.

Have played this course a few times. Came here on this past Sunday and found swarms of mosquitos in all the deep grass areas! These mosquitos are super aggressive in that they attack you and follow you all throughout the course. I couldn’t even finish the first 9 holes and decided to take off and save myself from becoming these nasty mosquitos lunch! Spoke to the staff that day, and he said that vector controls (city department) was suppose to be spraying and responsible for the pest control on the course. Apparently they didn’t spray the day before or for a while…

Golfers beware…

Walked off after only playing 12 holes. Apparently they run tournaments on weekends. Wait was two deep on every hole. Marshall did nothing to move things along. Nice track. Will try again in future and hope no tournament.

This course has been well managed over the past few years. Everything continues to improve to the point where it has become a very solid deal to play here.

The course is fairly straightforward. The greens are flat and were a little slow yesterday but looked like they had been punch a few weeks prior.

Having fighter jets flying around only adds to the experience!

The mosquitoes were relentless! Bring bug spray!

I've been searching for a second local favorite that's fun and affordable outside of my home course (Santa Teresa) and Moffett is a strong contender. I thoroughly enjoyed my first walk around it this summer. It was quirky and demanding and interesting, all at once. The conditioning was fine. The pace of play was questionable (as it is at all Bay area munis, it seems), but that's the only knock. It was tough to find the course once you get past the checkpoint to enter the NASA base, so leave some extra time just to make sure you're not late.

Just a super friendly and helpful starter (Mike) and after the reinvestment the range and course conditions were really nice

Who cares about the wind. Embrace it. Beautifully groomed course. The grass is very consistant. Choice of club use will be a part of the challenge. Watering of course front 9 begins promptly by 8pm. So don’t lag if you play a late round.

I last played this about 15 years ago as a guest. The greens and bunkers are much improved and in very good condition. The fairways could use some work. The layout is a flat urban style but long and challenging.
