Never got to play: course over-booked

OK, I like this course a lot and have played there before. Had a tee time at 1:20 or so and when we got there about two dozen golfers were all standing around the 1st tee. they were out of golf carts and over 1 hour behind. I really do not understand how they can get into this situation. They run a golf course everyday. Although they were nice about it, I heard them complaining about other golfers who had a negative opinion about the way they ran the course. Seems they had a point. It's not my style to be rude and confrontational but after some thought this is my review. Needs to be some accountablility.
And, not any kind of compensation for my lost fee on golf now or something.

Challenging Course.

Very challenging course with beautiful scenery. Really fun course for an experienced golfer.
Course marshal tells you to play faster when you are 1/2 hole behind. Then when you catch up you wait hole after hole. Do not stop for lunch, under-staffed cafe will keep you waiting and then when you tee up at # 10 the Marshal comes back and says you are behind. Lunch is poor and slow. (they staff 1 person on a Saturday but have a marshal driving around telling you to speed up -- what the h-XX.). Marshal ruined the day: we are still talking about it. Probably need a new management team -- just saying. Lots of great golf at North Shore, no need to put with this.

Mare Island is worth a visit, fun day with great views.

First time there and was very pleased with the course. the weather was perfect, sunny, no wind, and 75 degrees. Good pace of play. There are lots of areas that the draught has made dirt and not easy to play. This course needs good placement of shots, read your guides on the score card. Greens are really challenging and therefore fun with lots of slopes/breaks. Views are as advertised --fantastic. Really enjoyed the views and drive into the course.

Very fun and challenging course

The course is in excellent condition with lots of different challenging holes. It makes you want to come back and play after your first round here. Terrain changes, dog-legs, trees, wind, and small greens will keep you trying to make the shot that keeps your score low. Quite a unique golf course. Staff was very nice, facilities are great, and the pastrami sandwich was the best.

One of the best public couses in the Bay Area!

I have played here many times and this course is a great change for anyone who plays around the Bay Area. Terrain goes up and down., lots of challenging holes and a good test of any player. Views are outstanding and its a quiet round with the usual good weather around Pleasanton. Note: the draught has been hard on this and many courses in Northern California.

Beautiful location, relaxing golf course!

I have played golf here on vacation for over 20 years and really enjoy the course. The par 5 number 12 is one of my favorite par 5's. It's not a TPC course that is super hard but it's a great value and right next to Anacortes. Easy to get on and not crowded. Also, the greens are in fantastic shape.

Top Tier Golf Course with a history.

Bayonet is a dream golf course located on Monterey Bay. A former military course (hence the name) it plays long, has tough bunkers around almost every green, and challenges you to hit great shots. There is no easy way out like on the munis and easier courses all over. And, the Monterey Pines will get the faders and drawers. If you think youre a good golfer, test your skills here. Bring your "A" game!

Gorgeous course !

Beautiful course with lots of varying holes. A lot of fun and good challenge. It helped that the weather was stunning. In my experience,, this is a winner for Bay Area golfers. Only issue is slow play, a 5 hour round -- golf takes long enough without this. It's an issue for the sport, can't blame it all on this course. This course is worth your time to go and play, I will be back here!

Fun course, I like both courses.

Beautiful setting, relaxed play, very well maintained. I wish these courses were closer to San Jose, if they were, I'd be a regular. Ridge mark is over an hours drive south of SJ. Recommend either course, a good value for the money. (Staff needs some training on customer service, beginning with the pro).

I agree with you on all of this. Especially the part with the staff. I've seen them treat the members very well and treat non members like myself with short/rude personality. Could be a little friendlier indeed!

Very challenging course although views are outstanding and it's a good test of your game.

Wonderful course out of town up in the south San Jose hills. Very challenging greens will test your putting. This course is a treat to play and very different from all the older munis in the Bay Area.

A favorite course, Seascape is near the ocean and has wonderful holes.

Challenging but attainable. Beautiful course near the ocean. Has always been a favorite course for me. If you have not played here, recommend you play. Strategy holes and bomber holes.
