Callippe Preserve Golf Course
Played On 06/11/2023Marshalls needed
The layout of this place is super fun and they keep it in pretty good condition. Unfortunately that doesn't overcome the awful pace of play. Took us almost 5 hours to get through 15 holes before we quit and went home. Didn't see a single Marshall, but we definitely saw the group with multiple holes open in front of them that was slowing down the entire course. My buddy took his clubs off his cart and pretended to be the Marshall and told them to get moving. This course needs a dedicated Marshall on each 9. Hard to play well when you are taking 20 minutes to play each hole, waiting to hit constantly.

Played On 01/12/2019Figure it out
Booking tee times at intervals that don't ruin everyone's experience isn't hard to do. Every other course can figure it out. Chrystal Springs, for one reason or another, can't handle it. 4 groups backed up on the second tee. Completely unacceptable. And that I'd pretty much par for the proverbial course at this establishment. Which is a shame because the layout is awesome and with better management and a new clubhouse this course would be a gem.
Berkeley Country Club
Played On 07/05/2019Cool track
Got a member for a day deal for 67 bucks on GN. First time playing here, and I enjoyed it a lot. Very hilly course. I think I only had a handful of shots all day that I didn't have to club up or down due to the elevation change, which you really need to respect because I was consistently coming up short on uphill shots. Beautiful views of the bay and SF. Course was in pretty nice shape, no complaints. On the first hole the group in front of us had a player take about 10 shots to reach the green, but they immediately let us play through on the second and we didn't have to wait to hit another shot until probably the 14th. Finished in about 3 1/2 hrs. Will definitely buy that deal again if I see it.

Spring Valley Golf Course
Played On 12/22/2018Fun track
Pretty fun little course. Greens were in great condition, fairways were nice as well. Played in 4 hr 15 min on Saturday before Christmas, so the pace of play was reasonable. It's a little expensive for the rather basic layout, but I had a great time.
Seascape Golf Club
Played On 07/21/2018Robbed
I have played Seascape for about 20 years and unfortunately will never be playing there again. I made a foursome with my golfnow VIP membership, which they say has cancellation protection. What they don't tell you is that you have to cancel via the website or app. I called the course to cancel my round a few hours in advance as something came up and I was not able to make it. A few days later I received email saying that I was being charged 180 dollars to cover all the four tee times. I called golfnow and they said there was nothing they could do besides trying to call Seascape on my behalf. I emailed the general manager and nobody ever replied. They literally stole money out of my bank account for a service that was never provided. I would understand if I had just not showed up, but I called with plenty of time to cancel. I have never in my life had such a disappointment when dealing with a business.
Baylands Golf Links
Played On 06/30/2018Fun track
Played this course for the first time since the remodel, and I was pleased with the new look. I had read a few reviews that said the grass was really fluffy, but I didn't really notice it being an issue. What was an issue was the wind, but that's to be expected with an afternoon round near the bay. Hit one drive through the green on a par 4 that said 342 on the card downwind, then hit 3 wood on a 200 yard par 3 into the wind and came up a good 25 yards short. I'd recommend playing in the morning, but it probably isn't a course layout that justifies the 110 dollar price tag. It's in great shape though an is worth trying out if you can grab a good deal.
Cinnabar Hills Golf Club - Lake/Canyon
Played On 04/21/2018Great Course
Love playing here. Always in great shape. The spicy Cinnabar sausage they have in the snack shack is fantastic. Good pace of play. Teed off around 2 and easily finished.
Black Horse at Bayonet/Black Horse Golf Course
Played On 04/15/2018Great Course
I love both of these courses. Very challenging greens. When you can find a good deal a round at either course is not to be missed.
Eagle Ridge Golf Club
Played On 02/25/2018Bunkers need help
Love this course but their bunkers have been in brutal condition for a long time. Seriously need to bring in a few dozen truckloads of sand. Other than that we had a great day. Fairways and greens were in good shape.
Merlot/Chardonnay at Poppy Ridge Golf Course
Played On 01/14/2018Great pace of play. Only had to wait on a couple shots all day. Course was in pretty good shape. Greens seemed a tad slow. Bunkers were excellent. It was a great experience overall. I will be back soon.
Spring Valley Golf Course
Played On 12/16/2017Decent course. Probably the most wind I've ever played in. Course was in good shape. Staff was friendly. A little overpriced for what it is but a good all around experience.
Crystal Springs Golf Course
Played On 06/25/201710 minute wait for almost every shot. Way overbooked. Would have been a fun round otherwise. Course has some interesting holes. Clubhouse and parking situation needs to be remedied.
San Juan Oaks Golf Club
Played On 04/23/2017Great, but windy
Beautiful course in great condition, but the constant winds which I've experienced every time I've played here really take away from the playability. Nobody likes to come up short with a well struck 4 iron from 170 out.
