Great Staff
A few things are being corrected but this time of year it should be expected. There was no inconvenience and those areas did not effect our play.
I plan on playing here it offers some great holes to help work on my game.
Very Bad Shape Course
I played this course for 5 holes only and gave up. Everything was in very bad shape. I didn’t enjoy it at all. This course shouldn’t be open, it should be fixed first.
Nice little course
This is a good course to work on your short game. Pace of play was decent, finished it in 4-1/2. All greens are reachable in one to two strokes. The fairways & greens were in fair condition. The staff is friendly. I play this course about once a month or so.
Not much good deal anynore
Nice little course for $3 Hot Deal but for $10 plus $3.50 is too expensive for walking
this tiny 9 hloes course
Easy Golf
The price was super. The course greens were in the process of being worked on, but that did not take away from the fun. It was not crowded, and displayed
a great atmosphere to play in. The staff was helpful and friendly. There was no need to feel hurried as we walked the course. Yes its a bit rough compared to other courses in this area. But for the price, its a steal to go play .

Fun Relaxing Golf
Wanted to get in some practice and this is the place to play. It is not too short nor too long. The price is right and course seems to be improving. You won't find a nice clubhouse, but staff is super friendly.

Hurm's Review
The price is right, but they need to upgrade maintenance at the course. I still had a good time.
Hurm
nice course
greens, fairwaysimproved. range, and putting green still in not good shape
nice course to shapen one's short game
There should be more courses like this one as part of a community college. I would play Gavilan more often if I lived closer but I don't.
A fun little 9
A good little spot to keep your game in shape. Has a couple of par fours long enough to get out the driver and a ±207yd par four that you need excellent control to go for. Also a couple of longer par threes that keep things interesting. Overall, will play again when in the area.
Great value for $$$$
Played 9 holes with a small bucket of warm up balls for just under $6 by using GolfNow to make reservation. I challenge anyone to find a better deal in the Bay Area.
Great course for beginners.
The course has good features, a variety of short and long drives, obstacles like the little pond on # 8, gullies on #2 and #9. All in all a pleasurable experience, except for the loud music coming from
the Football/baseball field.
Fun round good price
Had a great time. Holes are easy, Greens rolled slower than true. Wide Fairways. Fun round for a good price.
Rugged, but a great place to learn!
Cool course cool people, the sun seems to always be shinning there. The wind going through that canyon is something else, very challenging The greens are really slow compared to other courses, I enjoy this place a lot.
