Beautiful course. Postcard views. The only issue is having to return the cart by 7:00.

I actually like the layout, though I’ve read that some people were critical of it. The grounds were a solid 8 out of 10. The greens were receptive, so sticking an approach shot was awesome. Highly recommend playing here.

Bad management policy

Went to Fremont Golf course just to practice putting to kill some time while my son was practicing basketball. I walked into the clubhouse and asked if the putting green was open. The young man (teen) said yes, so I proceeded but then he stopped me and said “ you have to buy a bucket of range balls”. I said “I’m just going to putt, I don’t need range balls”, to which he insisted that in order for me to use the putting green that I had to spend $9.00 on a bucket of balls that I didn’t need. I thought it was absurd, told him so, and left with the most foul taste in my mouth. Why would you... never mind. I’ll never set foot in this place again. Stupid management.

Beautiful views. Greens in great condition. Amazing views were at times distracting...not a bad thing though.

One of the few flat courses in the Bay Area. Fairways like carpet. Nice layout.

Mace Meadows needs a makeover

First time playing the course, and I had difficulty finding the entry as I discovered on the way out of the parking lot, that the sign for the golf course was not facing the street but propped against a tree.

The course itself was very dry, which is to be expected at this time of year but really dry. Goose droppings cover 3-4 greens. Green conditions were unputtable in places. Directions around the course was at times confusing to say the least. I finished the 6th hole and proceeded to what aesthetics should have been the 7th tee, but was actually the 9th. I later found a small sign with small text pointing to the 7th tee. Two other groups playing that day has similar issues. The guys running the place are very friendly, but the course needs maintenance. I’d only play there again under its current conditions if the price to play was $20.00

Played this course many times before but not in the last 4-5 years. I’ve always liked the course because I play the hilly courses in the Bay Area, and this is flat enough to walk and not exhaust yourself...unless you play on the day that I did when it was 105°. Glad I got a cart.

Redwood Canyon course review

I live a short drive away from Redwood Canyon Golf Course and I play there more than any other course in the area for three reasons. First is that it’s so close to home, second is the value, and last is the challenge the course presented. Even though the length of the course is not super long, there are some very tight fairways. Tricky, and a value for sure.
