Good value, if you can tolerate occasional slow play.

I’ve played here a number of times now. Both courses are fun and challenging for every caliber of golfer. The courses are kept in pretty good condition, and the staff is generally pretty friendly. Today was a bit stressful as they were dealing with a cart shortage when we arrived late morning for our round. As a result, we teed off 20 minutes later than we were scheduled to. But once we got underway, it was a smooth and fun round!

Fun course!

I have played this course quite a few times recently. It’s a great course for beginners and those seeking to work on various aspects of their game. If you play early enough the pace of play is usually ok. And you can’t beat the prices!

The Mare Island Challenge

This course is challenging in a number of ways. Lots of short Par 4s, but the layout requires you to place your tee shot in the right place to really have a chance to score. The wind can be tricky to mange and the slopes, forced carries, well placed bunkers and water hazards can really test your game. The mosquitos there are no joke! Make sure you bring some strong spray and wear pants. Course conditions are decent although 17th green? appears to be sick. Mare Island may not have the most comfortable conditions to play in, but I guarantee you it will leave you hungry for more...just not right away.

Solid Place to Play

I played the East last weekend and the West this past weekend. Both courses are fun and pose different challenges. There’s a reason why this place is so busy on the weekends. I will definitely be playing there more often. Pace of play can be slow at times, so it’s bet to get out as early as possible.

Solid Place to Play

I was visiting family and wanted a good place to play. After reading the reviews about it being fun, yet challenging, I booked my tee time. Course was busy, but didn’t feel crowded. I was able to play solo and finished in about 3.5 hours. I really enjoyed the layout and would definitely play here again!

Truly Enjoyable

I'm from Texas but have been living in San Francisco for the past 7 years. It's also where I picked up the sport almost 2 years ago. I chose this course because of the price and it's proximity to my hotel. It's the first I've played in Texas and I have to say I enjoyed it thoroughly! The holes were fun, well placed, and each had their share of that good old "risk versus reward" type feel to them. I'd also have to say I couldn't have picked a better day for my introduction to Texas golf. It was cold and much windier than the conditions I'm used to playing so needless to say, I lost a few balls starting out. However, once I got accustomed to the conditions I really enjoyed my round there.

Nice 9 hole Par 3 course

This is a great place to work on your short game. From the elevation changes to the small table-top greens, this place can really challenge you. The condition of the greens are ok and the tee boxes could use some work. But you can't beat their hot deal tee times! $5 for this place is a steal!

Nice course and friendly staff.

Played here during the early morning hours of 5/4/13. My only complaint would be that the grounds staff had just finished watering on some holes and on one Par 3 we had to wait 5 minutes for them to turn the water off. Other than that, we had fun and the course was in pretty good shape.
