Could Be Better....

When you walk onto the course, you get a great impression. A nice looking clubhouse and to the right is a nice large grass driving range. We checked in and the guys at the pro shop were super nice. Being our first time there, he walked outside with us and gave us directions on how to get around the course. We get up to first tee and had some fun with the starter before teeing off. Great guy that suggested we play the blues. We hit our tee shots and were off.

This course needs some help from the rain and that was evident on the first hole. The layout was nice. Nothing too difficult. My favorite part of the course were the par 3s, minus the first one (#3) which was basically hitting a ball to a top of a hill. The others were really nice with huge greens, some 3 tiered. The #16 could have been the best of them all, but there were so many geese on and around the green, it was ridiculous. We all hit our shot, walked up to the green and were floored by just how much geese dropping there was. Just to hit my putt, I had to shovel it off my line for a least 2 minutes. It was terrible and when its that much, it becomes disgusting. It just ruined what would have been the best hole on the course.

All in all, it wasn't horrible. The pace was good and it was packed in on a Saturday like many other courses. The range is awesome. The people were super nice and friendly. The one thing I can't get passed and its probably why I wouldn't return is the price and value. Since I live in San Francisco, I drive to most of the courses I play and at times, a good distance. So at $90 with a cart, this is at the bottom of my value list. San Geronimo is near the same distance and the conditions are much nicer, yet $25 cheaper. There are just nicer courses to play out there that are much better values.

Thank you for your comments. We take our guests experience and evaluations seriously. We recently invested in a service to address our population of Geese. We've made great strides to reduce the amount of birds on the course and it's been going very well. It's hard to be on top of the issue at every moment but we're doing our best.

We've been granted permission to allocate more water to the course of late. You're probably aware of the severe drought California is in so we've been conserving water and the turf definitely takes the brunt. We kept our greens pristine during the drought and they're still among the best in the county.

Hopefully you can return soon, we'd love to have you back.

Respectfully,

Peacock Gap Team

Nice people. Terrible course maintenance

The fairways are close to being a goat pasture. More weeds than grass. Clumps of dried out grass and weed clippings are all over the place. They're big enough to hide golf balls.
The worst golf course upkeep in Marin.
Nice people in the clubhouse and at the starters booth though.

Great day, course was in great shape. Greens were impeccable as usual.

Do not ever, ever buy golf balls here!! They charge $80+tax for a dozen top of the line golf balls. I asked why, and the guy in the pro shop said 'we can charge what we want because you have to drive 25 minutes to buy balls from somewhere else.' They are proudly price gouging. I love this course, but it's quite sad they're this money hungry. Be better

Not April fools

Good condition with all the moisture.
Typical slow round with the volume of players. The greens look fantastic, except they are presently very slow.
Perhaps when they dry out a bit the speed will increase.

Nice day at Peacock

Path only due to rain previous day and greens still recovering from plugging and sanding. Greens super slow
But will be nice with a mow and a roll in a few days.

course has recovered well from the wet winter

They have been able to mow everywhere and carts were allowed off of the paths. Rough was mowed but a little longer than in the summer so balls were sometimes hard to find in the rough. This makes it a little slower to complete your round as it takes time for find any hits that ended up in the rough. Otherwise the course was in great shape and the greens have almost healed from the being aerated.

Good course

We played Peacock Gap for the first time. It was still very wet on the fairways but the greens were in very good condition. The layout is quite flat and an easy walk. There are not too many memorable holes apart from the 16th but overall it is a nice course. We were able to get the first twilight teetime and finished way before sunset after 3h45min as a two ball. The practice greens are well kept but be aware that the range does not allow any shots over 200y from the grass tees. So no warm up with any longer clubs.
Overall it's a nice course with great value for money.
