Tee boxes in bad shape otherwise course is ok

Tee boxes in bad shape otherwise the course is ok. A couple of holes within sight from the street are cart path only. Not sure it is worth $100 a round considering other courses in town.

It's not a golf course!!!!

It is a bar with batting cages and a golf simulator. It takes big ones or tatal desperation for Gofnow to put this on their site.

Disappointing Conditions

While the layout is good, the course conditions are horrible and getting worse. Courses across the country are enjoying full tee times and record attendance to improve their courses and repair neglected maintenance issues but not Sunnyvale.

Please fill the ponds and creeks, the drought is over

This is a fun course and it used to be one of the prettiest courses in the bay area until they let the water hazards dry up 5 years ago. Every golf course is seeing financial windfall this year, including Sunnyvale. It is time to return this great course back to it's former glory and fill the ponds and creeks.

CART PATH ONLY...WHY???

Played this course in November but when we arrived it was cart path only, they said because of renovations. It is very hilly and difficult to walk, the pace of play is slow because of the cart path only rule. It is now 6 months later and I still see people complaining about the cart path only rule. Really don't understand why6 months later they still don't allow carts on the roughest walking course in the bay area.

I know they will post the default reply blah blah blah "We apologize for the pace of play issue you experienced. We always try to keep a great pace when having our golfers on the course. Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback as we will use your review to better the experience going forward. We hope you give us another try in the near future!"

Too pricey for current course conditions

They are trying to fix the course but until it is in better condition they shouldn’t try to get get over the top green fees. Even though the course was dry it was cart path only, wish this was mentioned up front, I would have passed. The course will probably be very nice in a couple of months.

GOLF CLUBS STOLEN - HIGH CRIME LOCATION!!!!!!

We had our golf cart with 2 sets of clubs, purse, cell phone and car keys stolen on the 7th hole. The staff didn't react well and called the parks department instead of the police. Come to find out there is all sorts of vandalism, thefts, etc. and this came as no surprise to anyone except me. Why don't they put up some signs indicating their is a crime threat??? Not a sole from the golf course has reached out to me about this situation and I am a regular player there. SHAME ON YOU SKYWEST!!!

While the greens and bunkers were in good condition the fairways are 50% dirt. The clubhouse restroom had an overwhelming stench of urine.

Water Hazards...NOT!

I liked this course when I first moved here from SoCal, then the ponds and creek had water. Now that the drought is long gone and the watersheds are at maximum capacity you would think they would fill up the water hazards. The water hazards are completely dry with 5 foot weeds growing in them. It almost seems like they want this course to fail so that they can claim poor attendance and sell the land off to make more industrial space. Shame on Sunnyvale golf course and shame on the city council for letting this once nice course fall into this horrible condition. The pictures on the website are misleading and border on fraud, remove any pictures that show water.

90% Cart path only! No ShadeTrees

While we liked the course layout we were pretty disappointed with our overall golf experience.
Almost every hole was roped off and cart path only. Not sure why, it is definitely not TPC grade by any means and being very hilly terrain and extremely hot it was more of a survival test than an enjoyable game. There were no shade tees or any type of relief at any of the tee boxes so waiting for our tee was brutal. The greens and bunkers were in good shape but the fairways were a bit sorry but it is the end of summer so I would think that would improve during the test of the year.

Course needs a lot of work.

I really liked the layout, water holes, elevation changes, etc. The tee boxes and greens were good but everything in between was so neglected it was sad. Seriously, had to move the ball around on all fairways and rough to hit off of grass otherwise you are hitting off of dirt. The same traps looked interesting but it had recently rained so will give them a pass on the bunkers condition, looked like they definitely need attention as well.
I would have loved to see this course in it's prime even though it is only 17 years old, it doesn't look like anyone considered maintainence to keep it nice.
