As usual, excellent.

I drive 3 hours to play here, routinely. For what you get, very well worth it. No other public course in the SF Bay Area offers this experience.

Unique experience

Minuses: An unavoidable part of playing the front nine is the general poverty that abuts the course, which may or may not bother you. I did not find enjoyable walking by someone's backyard/ front yard filled with junk.

Pluses: For an inexpensive muni, the greens were in great shape, the fairways decent, and bunkers showed signs of care. The surrounding environment improves on the back nine. Holes 12 and 13 are gorgeous. Still, the overall experience is not something I'll do again or recommend to someone.

As usual, great experience.

Yocha sets a very high standard for course maintenance and user service, and yocha meets it every time. For maintenance and service, this has got to be the best public course north of San Francisco, west of Tahoe.

Beautufil course

Liked everything about the round, including the holes laid out between homes.

In general, I found the fairways very wide off the tee. it was windy but I suppose that is links golf. I found hole 16 very beautiful.

It exceeded my expectations. Will definitely revisit.

Fabulous

The pluses are: high level of maintenance of the course and the care the course provides to the Pistons: bottled water on the course, golf club cleaning, etc. Even the to-go sandwich was good. The bread was not stale or soggy.

I can't think of any real minuses. Some par fours were to long for me but that's on me.

I think the course drains well too. Heavy extended rains had preceded but the fairways had no wet spots.

Overall, I am definitely returning and very impressed. It sets a standard.

Better than average course but great vaLue

Better than average layout, staff, pace of play. Putting green is terrible. Driving range has natural turf. Value is excellent.

some holes too short

agree with all laudatory reviews: beautiful setting, smell of redwood in the air, well kept conditions despite drought, etc., etc.
one demerit for me - reflecting my personal preference for the driver and not a fair criticism of the course itself - was that some holes were too short.

otherwise, beautifully laid out and well maintained. worth playing here at least once.
