GREENS
THE GREENS ARE HORRIBLE , NEVER THE SAME EVERY HOLE ROLES DIFFERENT.SLOW FAST BUMPY ECT.
Hi Michael,
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry about the uneven pace of the greens. Due to the unusually wet and cold spring, our greens took longer than anticipated to recover.
I hope you will come back soon and see what a difference sun and warmth have made.

Great Course To Play, Was Alot Of Fun
Tried this course out for the first time, it was fun and defiantly a good time. Was wet in some spots along with goose droppings, but was not a big deal at all. The course layout was nice with fairly good size greens. The only downside was the greens were recently aerated a week or two ago so our ball during putting was bouncing around. We spoke to the pro shop about it, the lady at the front desk was very nice and compensated us for money off on our next round. GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE! Overall this is a great course and layout, I will refer my fellow golfers, and defiantly be visiting again for another round. Big Thanks to Santa Clara Muni!!
Hi,
Thank you for the feedback. We are pleased you enjoyed the course and are planning to come back soon!
We have been drying out from the wet (did I mention really wet?) winter/spring and the geese have moved on. Our greens have come back nicely with sun and warm weather and are rolling well.
You are confident you will be pleased with course conditions for your next round.
Best,
Fun course , nice people
Only issue was that the greens were aerated but otherwise it's a great course!
Slow Play
4 hours - 15 holes. Quit out of frustration with the pace.
Hi,
Thank you for your feedback. I apologize for your slow play. We try to manage our pace to complete a round in 4:00 to 4:30 hours. We will continue to monitor the pace and keep everyone moving.
If at any time you have an issue during your round, please contact the golf shop for assistance.

Aerated greens
Recently aerated greens make this course unplayable. The greens were full of holes and covered in sand. Once putting your ball would take crazy bounces and turns due to the punched greens. I should have been notified prior to booking this round. I regret wasting my Sunday round of golf at this course. Also the pace of play is extremely slow as you run into beginner golfers getting down on all fours to read puts.
Hi,
Thank you for your feedback about the greens. I apologize you were not informed of conditions prior to play. We had posted discounted rates on GolfNow due to the work on the greens.
If you have an issue during your round such as with pace of play, please call the golf shop and we will be happy to assist you.
Thank you again for your input as we are always working to improve our service.

unplayable greens
Course provided no advanced notice that greens had been aerated. Due to he amount of sand used, the greens were completely unusable. But they still charge full price. Profit before honesty - not the way a game of integrity like golf should be run
HI Mr. Finch,
Thank you for your feedback about the greens. I apologize you were not informed of conditions prior to play. We had posted discounted rates on GolfNow due to the work on the greens. According to our records, it appears you received a 30% discount for a savings of $16 on your green fee/cart fee.
Thank you again for your input as we are always working to improve our service.
Thank you for your feedback.
Early Round
Course needs a bit of work but it is early March after the storms so the tree branches and soggy parts were expected. This is a good easy track to go work on your game at. In the summer it get over $60 a round which is a bit much and not good value but $30-$40 for this is perfect.
Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your understanding as we have been working hard to provide good conditions during significant weather challenges. We think you will find the course in good shape now that the wind and rain have eased.
Thank you again for your input.
We apologize you did not have a good experience when you played. We will investigate the pace of play issue and work to correct it.
If you would like to contact David's restaurant for any concerns, they can be reached at 408.986.1666. The restaurant is managed by a separate company from the golf course.
Thank you again for your input.
Opening season
After two months of over 60 inches of rain , the course was actually in decent condition. It turned out it holds water well. Of course you had to avoid muddy areas. I enjoyed playing the round today.
Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your understanding as we have been working hard to provide good conditions during significant weather challenges. Think you will find the course in very good shape now that the wind and rain have eased.
Thank you again for your input.
Bad conditions and expensive

We apologize that you did not have a good experience when you played. We agree course conditions were below average due to the tremendous volume of rain we had received in the week prior to you playing. We did try to inform guests about playing conditions and will work harder on our communication. We apologize that you did not enjoy your round and hope you come back now that the rain has eased and conditions are good.

49ers New Mall 2017
Sad to say this course which is a great play is going to be gone next year for stupid football. I've played this course 100 times at least and its always a fun challenge. If you have the chance do play this course before its gone!
Nice Course
Great course for the money accessible and relatively easy, bunkers could use a little TLC though too hard !
Hi Dennis,
Thank you for your feedback. We are working hard to improve course conditions after a wet and cold winter into spring. Please play again soon to see our improvements.
Best regards,
