Very nice course

Hadn’t played this course in over 5 years. Was a nice day so wanted to play a round. With all the rain wasn’t sure what condition the course would be in, was pleasantly surprised. The greens were in great shape, bunkers had water in some but most were in good condition. There were wet areas in some of the fairways but there had been a lot rain. The majority of the fairways were in pretty good shape. I will be back.

Must PLay

Great course. Fairways get a lot of roll, sand traps had sand and the greens were in great shape. This is a well maintained course. I will definitely play this course again.

First Time

First time playing this course, really liked it. The course was in beautiful condition, fairways run a little better and for me that is great. Greens were in great shape, fast and very tricky. Liked their bunkers, had sand. I will definitely play this course again.

Nice Course For Anyone

First time playing this course. It was in very nice shape, fairways were great, greens were in very good shape, sand bunkers could use some work as well as the tee boxes. #9 was the hole I liked. Tee shot had to cut as it was a dogleg right. Second shot had a tree middle of fairway, you have to go left of it, nice set-up. I think it is one of the better 9 hole courses I have played and I have played a lot of them. One thing I have to say, I got $10 off a hot deal so to play it was $30 for 9 holes walking.

NIce course

I have played this course a few times over the years. Some fairways are wide open and some are not, hit the ball straight. The fairways seemed a little slow, the grass was maybe a bit long, but were in good shape. Has a few forced carries, a little water, a lot of doglegs but a very enjoyable course. I will definitely play it again.

Starter Course

Nice little course for the starters, which of course the majority of the people out there were just that. I see that the city of Cupertino is looking at closing the course, hope that they don't do that as this is the perfect place for beginners to have fun and not be pushed. I wouldn't recommend this to a friend as my friends are seasoned golfers. I played this course because I like playing different courses.

Nice Course

Played this course once before, worth playing. For a city course it was in good shape. It was Father's Day so the price was higher but it was a good day. This course has water, sand traps, some forced carries which make it a somewhat challenging course. I would recommend this course.

Very nice course

I picked this course because it was close to where I was staying. It was a great choice. It was a diamond in the rough. I couldn't see anything wrong with this course. Great fairways, greens and sand in the traps. I didn't get anything to eat at the turn but did have a beer after the round. I would definitely play this course again.

Quiet Course

This is a naval base course open to the public. Because of where it is away from highways and noise you could almost hear a pin drop. Nice course, had great company, as good as it gets. The course was a gem, not spectacular but a course worth playing. I would play this course again.

A Shame

Got a golfnow hot deal. I was told after I played that the course is in the process of closing. The course has some character and views. The fairways had not been mowed probably for a few days, had to really watch your ball to see the area it landed in. Sand traps were non existent but the greens were in excellent shape, weird. What a shame that a course like this goes into disrepair.

Best 9 Hole Course

This is the best 9 hole course in the Sacramento Region. Has a little bit of everything, sand, water and some forced carries, short. Very well maintained course. The greens, fairways and traps are in excellent shape. If you want to play just 9 this is the course to play. It is a par 36. This is a nice course for a beginner.

A course worth playing

This course has everything, water, sand traps, forced carries, left to right and right to left. Play this course a few times a year and really enjoy it. Has a high slope rating because of what I said above. You have to hit it straight and hit your locations. It’s a very nice course, fairways and greens are in great shape, sand traps are good but the tee boxes need some work. You will enjoy this course.

Good beginners course

Play this course often. Not long, has water, sand traps and some forced Carrie’s if you don’t hit it in the right spots. Had a lot of wet areas this day which I haven’t seen before. This is a nice course for everyone.

A Course You Have To Play

Have played this course a few times, never get bored. The course is in pristine condition, fairways, sand traps, greens, everything is nice. The only thing that surprised me was how many divots I fixed on the greens. Probably fixed at least 3 per green. One was about 5 feet from the hole and deep. Anyway I highly recommend this course, you won’t be disappointed.

Worth the drive

Try to play this course a few times a year. Nice course, nice layout and the course is in nice shape. I always look at public courses for what they are, not resorts. I put worth the drive because it isn’t really crowded like the city courses. I think most people would enjoy playing here.

Course in great shape

Played this course for the first time and really enjoyed the layout. Very well maintained course, especially for a city course. Let me sneak out early and played the first 4 holes fairly quick before running into a fivesome. No problem, just played a couple of balls and enjoyed the course. Didn’t use the restaurant but looked like people were enjoying it. Nice course to get some practice on. The gentleman in the clubhouse were very nice and pleasant. I will play here again.

Yikes

This course is worth $10 at best. Got there early and saw that there were openings to go out. Was told that because I had a hot deal with GolfNow I had to wait for my tee time, hour and a half. Restaurant was closed so I went and got something to eat and came back. Went out at my time and the people on the first two holes let me go through and I finished in an hour and 15 minutes, no one ahead of me until the ninth hole, that hole took almost 15 minutes. Not giving them a bad rating for the time but because the course is not in good shape. There is a course in Hayward 15 minutes away that is cheaper and I am not lying 100 times better. This is the first course I have ever given a bad rating. I gave a 5 for pace of play only because 2 groups (both twosomes) let me go through.

Very nice course

Got a hot deal through Golfnow. Wanted to play a different course while in the area. Came over from Oceanside and was pleasantly surprised by what I saw. The course was in great shape, greens were excellent, fairways were very nice and the sand traps were surprisingly not bad. I like playing courses that have views, mountains etc. This is a very nice course and next time I am down here I will play it again.

Only weird thing the golf cart would stop as you got closer to the green, 30 yards to 100 yards out, no warning. I know golf courses do this but it would have been better to have signs out there to let you know.

Didn't comment on the amenities as I didn't use them but did see a lot of people over there so it must be OK.
