Berkeley Country Club

First time at the course. Very enjoyable and challenging. The greens have multiple tiers so local knowledge will help those that play the course multiple times. Lots of elevation changes and simply gorgeous views of SF, the golden gate bridge and the fog rolling in.

Tremendous club in need of a little TLC with perhaps the worst sand I have ever seen in 47 years of playing golf, some places you sink in a foot or so. We just rake and place the ball in the bunkers.
With a little extra mowing down of the natural areas and new sand this club would be outstanding and probably not have the membership problems that it has.

I have been playing BCC/ MV on and off for decades and really enjoy the clu.

This course has been private for many decades, now opens up some public tee times for GolfNow.
The course has many scenic holes, situated at the top of the Berkeley hills. Views to the Golden Gate & SF skyline.
The scenery is the star here, but when the wind really starts whipping around the hills it can be very challenging!
2 tips I would offer are very few holes require hitting the Driver, and the greens are MUCH slower than the beautiful nanicuring makes them appear.

Very well maintained course in the hills. Gets very windy that adds to the challenge. You will need to play few times to get hang of the roll on the greens. Overall a gem in El Cerrito hills.

perfect day. course in outstanding shape. Greens not to fast. course plays tough.

Was excited to play the course but it highly disappointed. Note to staff, just because we book on golfnow does not mean we should be treated differently than other customers! I thought about joining a few months ago and after today’s experience, happy I didn’t. Course is browning & greens were running slow. Definitely a different experience than San Jose Country Club (highly recommend)!

Beautiful course and clubhouse, well kept and very scenic. I'm not particularly fond of mountain courses with undulated lies yet I enjoyed Berkeley country club very much.
When considering the value of the member for a day pass is a no-brainer.

Drove an hour plus and think it was totally worth it I played it again the next day! Fun layout, wind and tricky greens made it all the more challenging. Wildlife and some pretty great views too.

Great course & great staff. Some of the member are arrogant. If they want it all private then they should pony up & keep it that way

We had a great time at this course. Not to long but a challenge. Hard to focus on golf with all the great views. Food was really good and staff were wonderful.

BCC is an absolutely awesome club to be a member. Great staff, great members, all welcome. Great programs for men/ women/youth. Update: New carts. the entire course now has paved, concrete cart paths, the course is in great shape and the greens are excellent. Views are absolutely specatcular, and the pace of play is almost 100% perfect. Membership is affordable and the staff truly provides world class and friendly service. If you live in the Bay Area, are looking for a club to join that will challenge your game (use every club in your bag!) but not quite bring you to your knees, then BCC is a must for you to check out!

A well-maintained course with small, sloping greens and phenomenal views of the Bay Area from up on the hill. The snack bar closed early, but we still had a great time. Will play again.
