I decided to play this course, because I wanted to treat my buddy to a few holes. Unfortunately this was the only one I could find close to his place in Fremont, and it looked like the only one in the city. The staff were unaccommodating in having a slight reschedule to let us warm at the range beforehand. This seemed strange, as I've never had this happen to me before, especially on a course that wasn't packed whatsoever.

The course doesn't look to have regular maintenance. The fairways are littered with bird droppings, and the second cut looks like it hasn't been touched for months(better keep it in the fairway!). The greens were dried out, and although more a reflection of the people that frequent this course, full of unrepaired ball marks.

It's hard to rate the difficulty of this course, had the grass been taken care of, this looks to be a nice fun flat course with just enough hazards to keep someone entertained. In the condition that it was in, with the long rough, and hardpacked fairway, this was more difficult than it should have been.

I was lucky that I decided to bring my rangefinder, because ALL the numbers, on the scorecard, on the teeboxes, were mislabeled. This also made it hard to decide which tees to play. Sometimes the white played like the blues, sometimes the tips played like the whites. While this normally shouldn't be too much of an issue, I saw way to many people playing from the tips, which I can only assume is due to the yo yo labeling of the yardages.

Maybe after the rain season, this course will play better, and I may revisit. If you can afford to drive a bit further out, there are better courses, at better values to be had.
