Shoreline Golf Links at Mountain View
Played On 05/20/2019Santa Clara Golf & Tennis Club
Played On 04/11/2019Fairway in Good Condition, Confusing Layout, Very Windy
The nice part is that most of the fairways are well maintained and the lies are just right, not too hard or too soft. Most of the greens are in good condition, only a few seemed worn out.
A number of tee boxes are kind of hard to figure out. I suspect it would take a number of plays to figure out. Can be improved with clear signs.
The course layout is also very confusing for me. Often cannot tell which way or how far to go.
The worst part is the wind, stronger than Shoreline, almost every hole. It's location specific, certainly no fault of the management.
Deep Cliff Golf Course
Played On 03/24/2019Beautiful Setting, Kind of Slow Pace
I played here a few dozen times from my beginner stage (+30-40s on par 60-68) to now (+10-20 on par 72). I enjoy the beautiful setting, often run into deers. The distances are short, and the fairways are narrow, which can be frustrating for high handicap players, especially those shoot far (200+ with driver) but loose in direction control. The rough zones are thicker and deeper than all other places I've been, so once getting there I really have to lower the expectation in distance and direction control. The greens are recently aerated, very tough for putting.
The place tends to be slow, with many beginners and okay players. Once you accept the fact and pace with the flow, it's tolerable for what I have to pay.
Sunken Gardens Golf Course
Played On 05/26/2018Nice Conditions, Slow Play
Fairway and green are well maintained. Just be aware that there are always slow players in front of you. Be patient and don't expect fast plays, you'll be fine. Comparing to neighboring courses, the regular price is high on this par 29 course. I only play the hot deals.
Blackberry Farm Golf Course
Played On 02/18/2017Improved grass conditions. Friendly staffers.
I played this course often during the beginning year and occasionally as a practice course nowadays. It is low cost, $5-8, easy to get tee time, perfect for scheduling, even for a group of friends tough to find common play time. Several holes are very narrow, so be prepared for balls flying from other sides and stay cool. The trees and deep grasses make it easy to lost balls, reminding me to pay attention to my swings. Don't mistaken it as an easy course. My biggest complain is that the greens are very rough, quite a bit slower than other courses. The course is short and the plays are slow in weekends. Sometimes I can repeat some of the holes at late times when the course is empty. Hopefully the staffers will keep letting players regulate themselves (repeat plays instead of yelling at the guys in front).
Dear Guest,
Glad you came out and sorry about the wind. The day you played it was very windy all over the Bay Area.
Hope to see you again soon as you continue to figure out the golf course.
Best,
General Manager
