Golf staff couldn't have been less helpful. I came for a 5-day stay at the Lodge and a 30-day stay at a house on the property. Somehow the latter doesn't give me access to play even though it's in our back yard, so I tried to play as much as I could while a guest at the Lodge. Because of their restrictions and the fact that they're closed on Mondays, that meant 9-holes during the rain. They told me I could play the same 9 the next day after I had re-arranged my schedule to accommodate their non-sense policies.

Moreover, I'm guessing all the amazing reviews about the course were paid advertising (or it gets better in the 9 holes I couldn't play). It's ok, but just an average golf course. Difficult only because it's long, not because it's well done. I have no respect for courses that are "better for carts" to begin with. They aggressively encouraged me to take one (a sign of bad golf culture), which wasn't necessary as it was walkable, just poorly laid out. I think the 'water holes' to which they're referring are also distant views.

In short, no one's missing out; don't be fooled by the mirage of exclusivity.

I live next door to the course and usually choose to drive 25 minutes to play elsewhere usually rather than deal with the management of this place. Every time I deal with someone there, they are rude and make me feel dirty. It's a shame because it's such a joyful course, but then you get a couple of holes in and realize you're in for a five hour round because of the way they've packed the place. You're better off elsewhere. Shame on the Presidio Trust for letting this management company ruin the place
