Fun, public course ruined

Unfortunately, in the past 2 1/2 years since I began playing this course, it has gone straight downhill.

When I First the greens were a Hidden Gem!!! The greens were hard and fast and excellently maintained. You couldn’t have the ball roll across the greens nicer on a public course the greens were outstanding.

The fairways were slightly above average and the tea boxes were well below average, but for an over all rating of this course 2 1/2 years ago, I would’ve given it a B to a B+ for a public course.

Now I honestly have to say that this course has slowly, but surely lost its luster for me.

Last year The greens were terrible and have continued to get worse each and every time I have played here over the past year.

This past Thursday 4/13/23 the greens were in the worst shape I have ever seen not only were they extremely poorly maintained. There were big patches of no grass, and look like some of the grass have been scooped out with a shovel right on the greens!!! Almost as if somebody had just ripped out sections of the turf on at least 11 of these greens.

On hole number 16 a very long par five when I got up to the green with my playing partners, we were in shock. It looked as if somebody had taken a car and done a burn out across the green from one side to the other and it had been sanded over.

And while we were playing the 14th green at approximately 10 AM in the morning, the grounds crew turned the sprinklers and watered the green. AS WE RODE UP TO THE GREEN!!!!! The grounds crew left the water on for a full 5 minutes and it was puddled water on the green, and we could not even put it and play out the whole!!! I was furious!!!!

not only was this bad for the green, but every single green we played on, was so wet that many of my groups of shots plugged into the greens!!! This was unbelievable I couldn’t believe it.

The fairways were very nicely maintained sand traps. Very nicely maintained T boxes could be much better.

But I have to tell you that this hidden gem of a golf course, and its former excellent greens are no longer good enough to waste your money on.

I would put this course at the very bottom of my list if I was going to plant any longer.

After this past Thursdays round, I will no longer play the scores unless they get a new groundskeeper.

Course is FALLING APART

I was extremely disappointed with Lansbrook golf course.

Played here last year many times over the summer and the course was extremely well-maintained greens were in perfect condition and in fact I was so impressed with the greens I told many friends about this course.

This summer I am back I have played here twice and the greens are absolutely in horrible condition and mini of the tea boxes were marked as on usable and had the tea boxes moved up to the fairways.

I will not play here again I feel that whoever is running this course has completely let it go

This could be a very good course if maintained sadly I feel that this was a complete waste of money and after playing here last year and being so happy with the greens in the course and complete disappointment do not waste your money here

Don’t waste your Monday!!!

First I want to tell you that I I registered for the round on golfnow.com and there was no explanation that on Mondays the course at seven springs closes its championship course and only lets people play on their executive course.

Because there’s no explanation that the championship course is closed when I arrived I was told that my teatime was for the executive course.

Since I was there and I had no chance to get a teatime early enough to beat the heat in Tampa I decided to play the executive course.

This course was absolutely terrible the tea boxes were barely usable the greens were absolutely atrocious not only did they not mention on GolfNow that you cannot play the championship course on Monday and are forced to play the executive course if you wanna play the greens had been punched about three days before we played on Monday.

I would not recommend this course to anyone and Golf now should make sure in the future that all courses that are closed on particular days should be advertised as closed on their website before you select to play it.

I want to tell you that nowhere on golf now was it mentioned that the course was closed on Mondays and you could only play the executive course on Mondays.

Do not waste your time here

Just OK

I was expecting more from this course tee boxes were pretty beat up.
The greens were average.
Fairways were average

I was expecting a lot more from this course people had told me that it was extremely good but I found it to be a little below average and the greens were just barely OK

Terrible greens and Tee Boxes

The course seemed really torn up.

One of the reasons I like playing this course is because of the extremely well-maintained greens.

However the last two times I’ve played here they have been terrible.

And the tea boxes were completely torn up some of them were not even usable so they had moved all the tea boxes 50 yards up.

I may not play here for quite a while.

I liked playing here because the greens were in great shape now I think I may have to find a new good course

Horrible Pace of play

I don’t mind being at the golf course for a while but this was a 6 Hour round of golf!!!! No marshals at all. The two groups in front of me joined up and became a 5Some!!! Horrible

I called the clubhouse and no one made an effort to speed them up. Horrible!!!

The course is an OLD MUNICIPAL Course that is in horrible shape. Most sand bunkers had not been raked for a VERY LONG time. Literally were like cement. The greens were extremely chewed up. So many in repaired divots it was sad.

But 6 hours!!!

Do not play here!!!!! Horrible

Mitch,

Thanks for playing SJ Muni again in August and September after you recommended to Golf Advisor readers that they should not play here. Please let us know what it was that has made you come back.

Sorry San Jose Muni did not live up to your expectations. Ball marks on greens are a constant maintenance issue when players don't take the responsibility to repair their marks. San Jose Muni is enjoyed by more than 80,000 rounds per year and no it is not in the condition of Pebble Beach Golf Links but according to Yelp and Google reviews it is more than just an average Municipal Golf Course. Certainly not HORRIBLE!

Average Course

I’m a very good weekend golfer. I practice a lot and usually play on weekends. This course is at best below average. Pace of play was slow but there was never a back up. Just slow walking groups. Fairways were just barely average to play. Tee boxes are lumpy and uneven Old and worn out and need to be redone as I had to tee up Very carefully on almost all of the tee boxes to make sure I was not getting an uneven downhill slope with my driver in my hands.

The greens were not in good shape. EXTREMELY BUMPY!!! Very slow!!!! A lot of unrepaired divots from many previous players, (I repaired 2 or 3 extra divots on every hole during my round just to clean up and help others). When putting - ALL putts the ball wondered off off my intended putting line!!! The holes were cut poorly and ALL looked like a volcano at the hole. Obviously didn’t roll the hole flat after cutting the hole. Putts would turn at the hole because of the big slopes around the hole because of the poor maintenance when the hole cut and pulled!!!!

I got what I expected when I played at San Jose Municipal golf course. Very nice staff!!!!! Below average OLDER course maintained to be just playable fairways with TERRIBLE GREENS!!!!

I played very well and shot a 78, my irons were very good (13 of 18 greens) but I missed many putts that HOPPED offline or turned at the hole as the ball was going in the cup.

I’m a very good weekend golfer and I practice many hours a week and I want to play on greens that are well kept!!! These are not well kept.

You definitely need to shoot good irons into the greens so that you can have short putts to keep your score low. Long lag putts are extremely difficult to gauge and at best your just looking to get your two putt and get on to the next hole.

Very poorly kept Greens!!! Bent grass greens need to be cut shorter and holes need to be rolled after cutting and placing them each day.

6 of the best old time holes in Golf

Holes 11 through 16 make you feel like you're playing in Scotland on a British Open links course!!!
These six holes make playing here worth every minute being on their course. These six holes are a hidden Gem!!!

The rest of the Pacific Grove golf course are completely FORGETABLE. HOLES 1 thru 9 of the course is not in good shape. They wind through a terrible layout on a housing track through Pacific Grove, CA. The first nine holes are terrible! You start the course with two par 3's.

The only reason for playing the front nine is so that you can get to the back nine, Hloles 11 thru 16!!!!!!

The last hole on the course is also a reminder of the first nine holes. It is a terrible hole after just playing some of the most beautiful and fun holes in all of golf on the West Coast of California.

I would recommend this course ONLY so you can play holes 11 through 16. These six holes are wonderful AND WILL MAKE YOUR time on this course worth it. It's too bad they haven't taken the time to beautify the rest of the course.

Valley course

Valley course is fun, couple of tough par 3's. A few groundhogs. A par 5 with an oak tree in the fairway should be removed. Fun course though. #10 into the wind is too difficult for the average golfer the tee box should be moved up 20 yards everyday and make the creek at the end of the fairway Risk-Reward, could be a great short par 4. Overall good course but a few small changes would make it really good. #11 could be a great hole if there was a sand trap all the way down the left fairway to force everyone to the right side of the fairway and punish shots left. I will play it again. Tournament course is definitely more challenging.
