I love Mare Island. I try and play here at least once a month. It is readily apparent the course was originally 9 holes. The front nine have some tight tree lined fairways and lots of O.B.'s, The back nine are wide open with their own unique O.B.'s and ways to lose balls. Can get windy, but that adds to the challenge.

I played the West Coarse. It was in pretty good shape, the greens were exceptionally good when I played. The staff was accomodating since I need to play as a single. They weren't too crazy about it, but understood my needs. I would definitly go back. Someday I will try the East Coarse, butI really liked the West Coarse.

The coursewas pretty nice. The greens could use a little love. Wonderful atmosphere, loved all the trees. You definitly pay the price if you are off line or a little wild. Was told it gets pretty busy in the summer and to book a week or two ahead of time. Will go back again. A long 9 hole course, par of 35.

Overall, the day was enjoyable. I am new to golf, so always book as a single and like to play as a single. Most courses try to pair me with someone and I don't like to slow anybody down. This course worked with me and actually got me out earlier than my tee time, and as a single. Although I tend to play fast I promised to let anybody that caught up to me play through. I caught a couple of 4 somes that were slow, but this isn't a problem for me.
