Very interesting course

This course can be difficult. Very hilly. Not recommended for walking. Greens were slower than expected. Overall the condition was good very considering it is the middle of a very hot summer.

A bad day to play but still like the course and the pro shop

Got caught behind a five-some with a disable golfer. After playing two holes, the five-some was already two and a half holes behind and the gap was easily growing. We skipped three holes (3, 4, and 5) to play in front of them with the marshal's recommendation. After finishing the round, the pro shop was very gracious to let us replay the entire front 9. I just wanted to finish 3, 4, and 5 but he said it was easier to play 1 through 5 without interrupting others. He was absolutely right but I didn't have time so i called it the day. I really appreciate his effort to give me the opportunity to finish. Normally I would take him up on his offer but just ran out of time.. Good job pro shop. Sorry I didn't get your name.

Ok but will not repeat

Good thing I got a great deal because I was a little disappointed with the course. There was a concert nearby so traffic and parking were difficult. Lots of people roaming around drinking. The course itself was ok, but dried out in places. Greens were in good shape. The back nine had holes in renovation so it was difficult to gauge the course. I would not want to pay the regular full price because the course is quite ordinary.

Disappointing

All of the tees on the back nine were under renovation so the temporary tees were moved up to the fairways as much as 150 yards, very disappointing and boring experience so it was difficult to gauge the course as a first timer. Not sure my friends would give me credit for scoring 4 birdies and an eagle in the back nine. The front nine was nice though, challenging.

For the money, hard to find a better course. Great staff. Good condition even though the greens were punched.

Great neighborhood course

Staff is always great at Peacock. Very good practice facilities, except long drive is not allowed. Course is always in good to great condition when other courses are struggling. Greens tend to be on the slower side. Course is not very difficult but not boring either. Very good overall.

Deperate need to mow

The grass near fringes around the greens and the roughs was ridiculously long. Lost about 8 balls from near misses. I'm not talking about wild errand shots, but 4 or 5 feet into the rough or just off the greens. Impossible to see a ball even if standing over it because the grass was nearly a foot long. Pace of play was great though.

Awesome pace of play due to weather

3.5 hours for a Sunday afternoon was fantastic but it was due to the rainy and wet weather. Very sloppy conditions but i rather play fast and sloppy than slow and pristine.

Long round

Luckily a group ahead of us quit after 14 holes because we were close to darkness after we finished. Even then we took 4 hours 50 minutes to finish on MLK day. The course wasn't that packed with people but the recent storms resulted in cart path only so invariably the people in carts slowed the pace. Much to my surprised, the fairways were in good condition except for standing water but the greens were extremely bumpy probably due to the excessive water from the storms. Every cleat marks were visible. Greens need to be desperately mowed.

Great pace, great course, but sloppy condition

Fantastic course and staff with amazing vineyard backdrops but the course was very sloppy because of rain, which was not the management's fault, just had the bad luck of playing after several storms. Long drive for me but I would definitely play again especially with the reasonable green tees. The greens are difficult, 3 putts are the norm for some of the greens.

Typical gated community golf course

Great layout but not a walkable course. The fairways and roughs were inconsistent and really show signs of prolonged drought like many inland California courses. However, the greens were in great shapes. I would definitely play again.

Friendly staff, fast pace

The greens were punched but weren't notified by Golfnow. Can't complain too much since the price was so low. The fairways were ok but the roughs were dried. Finished under 3.5 hours, fantastic! Staff is always friendly.

Decent muni course

Great value but the course needs some work, especially the fairways. Greens are pretty good, slow but in better shape than the fairways.

Slow play due to Tournament

Nice course great condition except random large patches of damaged fairways caused by wild boar digging for food. Very friendly and helpful staff. Unfortunately I played behind the dreaded tournament so it was waiting at every hole to tee off, very single hole, all 18 holes!

Bumpy greens

Greens were not in very good shape, very bumpy and slow. 4.5 hours to finish on a Wednesday afternoon was a bit longer than I expected but wasn't too long. Fairways were in good shape which is why it was such a surprise to find the greens below average.

First time in three years

Finished in 3 hours and 45 minutes, fantastic. People were great. The course was a bit dried out but the greens were moist and a bit slow but otherwise in good condition. This course has some very strange layout and extremely hilly so walking is not recommended. Elevation changes are pretty extreme with many steep uphill approach shots. Even push cart seems arduous. Unless you have a sherpa, get a cart.

Super slow play 5+ hours

We waited at every hole. About 4 or 5 holes, there were multiple groups waiting. Excruciating slow play but nothing the marshal can do since there was no noticeable gap. This course is normally super slow on weekends so I expected it going in.
