Lovely little par-3

Well maintained, looking great and the greens are looked after. Some super short holes but great for practicing your short game.

Nice little par-3

Super little par 3 course that’s well maintained and has greens currently in good condition. Some tricky short holes, it’s nice for practicing your pitching and putting.

Simple layout but trees make life interesting

Loved this course. First time playing Skywest, despite living here 5 years, and we'll certainly be back. Finally discovered a course on the East Bay that doesn't leave you with an upward (or downward) lie for every shot! Good pace of play - no longer need to allow 5+ hours for a round of golf - and the breakfast sandwich was superb!

Caddyshack lives on!

I hadn't played Sharp Park for a year, but it's better than ever. Love the mix of wooded and links-style course, friendly club house and unassuming pro shop. It was a firm favorite of mine when I lived in SF and I'll be returning again soon - we'll worth the drive!

A bit soggy, but good nonetheless

With the amount of rain we've seen recently, i was unsure whether the course would be closed. However, they've kept it open - it does have some large wet patches, and it's cart-path only for the foreseeable future - but the greens are lush, the fairways are generally in good condition (if you can keep out of the puddles), and the breakfast burrito is a WINNER.

Sharp Park - a fun 18 on the beach

Love this course - friendly staff, great crowd of locals, just keep out of froggy territory or you'll lose a sleeve of balls.

Mind the geese

Front 9 was slow as our pair was grouped with a dad teaching his son - and a slow couple playing as a pair ahead of us... But fortunately they headed off after 9, and after the turn there was no issue with slow play. Could do with a few more par 5s, but after their renovation work is complete it should be a good course. Very friendly, helpful staff.

Up and down...

and up and down... You'll struggle to find a course with more hills - the par 3 just after the turn is basically a lob wedge into the air, and see if it lands on the green - roughly 60ft below you. Some amazing views, and a well-kept course considering the lack of water around.

I enjoyed it, would certainly play again, and hope that when the renovations are complete the course will play a little fairer!

Tough course, but great views

Some of these holes seem deliberately tight and tricky - almost as though the designer didn't want players to want to come back for more!
Disappointed at the lack of refreshments cart, and the half-mile ride from green to tee became a little exasperating as we entered our fifth hour of play, with 4 holes still to play.
It's a beautiful-looking course, with great, friendly bar staff and a fantastic breakfast burrito. But each player in our four-ball agreed that we would prefer to return to Cinnabar Hills and pay an extra $20 than endure The Ranch again!
