Sharp Park Golf Course
Played On 09/03/2021A true seaside gem from Doctor Mackenzie!
A true 'hidden' & under appreciated gem from the Doctor himself. I echo the same sentiment that, I wish the city/county put more care into, what I think, is the perfect Muni! Indeed a fair amount of course conditions leave a lot to be desired at the moment; But with TLC & appreciation for what an historical, amazing, and beautiful track this is; I pray for a real revival of this track, one day...! If you're truly a fan of golf ; Don't miss this track from Dr. Mack!
Blackberry Farm Golf Course
Played On 08/26/2017A 'Berry' Great Experience at Blackberry Farm GC
Played @ BBFarm GC today & I had a great 1st time at the course!
My Summary & Ideas on this 9-Hole getaway in Cupertino, CA:
Conveniently located right off a main passageway in Cupertino [Stevens Creek], Convenient distance from major freeways, Sunnyvale/San Jose/Mountain View/SJC Airport.
Pro Shop is well-stocked with both equipment & refreshments.
Was able to snag the great Hot Deal rate near 2:30PM on a Saturday [8/26/17], Was a little crowded & busy with groups waiting to play.
Staff was kind & courteous, Especially when letting myself & my playing partner tee-off as a group of 2, when the other group of 2 didn't show up in time.
Small putting green & 'batting cage' type of structure for swing warm-ups.
As for the course itself, I found it to generally well-kept on both fairways & greens; With tee box conditions being left with a little more to desire.
A sneakily challenging mix of shorter & longer Par 3's & a couple of Par 4's that allow Driver play [For the more experienced golfers, I think the course will at least make You ponder a very good amount of your shots..!!! :)]
Narrow fairways & green sand traps keep you playing honest & focused on accuracy & consistency.
Greens aren't the smallest, & not the biggest, But still demand accuracy & care to knock it close.
I found the greens' slope to be lively on some holes, with a good mix of uphill/downhill looks; Fairly well-kept greens, fairly consistent ball roll.
& As with most 9 Hole courses, definitely a great place to practice your Short/Recovery game, & a great place for Beginners/Youth.
[Didn't get to check out the 19th Hole features, but will definitely add to the review when/if I ever get the chance to check it out.]
I'm a local; Was very satisfied with my experience! Will definitely be back & will certainly add Blackberry GC in Cupertino to my list for a quick golf round & a challenging practice round in my area.
