Corica Park - The Earl Fry North Course

I played the North Course yesterday with some friends, one of which is a resident of Alameda. I haven’t played Corica for a couple years, used to play there on a regular basis. It has gotten too expensive compared to other local courses in the area, which in my opinion are just as challenging and nice. For a non-resident walking, the South Course cost $70 and the North Course $80. I asked if this included a senior discount and the attendant replied, “The senior discount only applies to residents of Alameda.” I have golfed many courses over the years and have never been denied a senior discount. Playing the North Course for the first time since it reopened was fun and greens challenging, but I probably won’t return due to the cost. The restaurant (Jim’s) was very good, we enjoyed our lunch and the day.

Got there for 2 foursomes. To our surprise no carts on Monday and Tuesday. This did not work for us as we are all in our 70's. Unfortunately it wasn't on the web site. After a 35 minute drive not a happy group. The staff was very friendly and let us use carts on cart path only. I would recommend this course to everyone. The greens are outstanding. Great restaurant. And again excellent customer service. 5 stars !

That's my only complaint. They may be waiting for some more permanent signs but even with the little signs they have, a few holes are a bit confusing if you haven't played there before or aren't with someone who has. Otherwise, great course, great layout, greens on the back nine are slower than front but thats to be expected.

Huge undulating fairways and greens make an easy layout challenging. Newly set greens (12-18) playing true but marginally slower than the front 9.

I love Corica North Course even though it is a little bit expensive.

It was great to finally play the north course. Very difficult with the wind, tight fairways, and fast greens.

Couldn’t believe a new course could be in this condition , Looked like it was 40 years old . Fairways were destroyed with Un filled divots and hazard area was in very poor condition
Don’t be disappointed by playing this course , South course is still in excellent condition

We had a great time playing the North Course for the 1st time. Not a long course but challenging as the undulation near the greens and the greens themselves are difficult to say the least. Hole 11 is a beautiful par 4 with a lake on the right- 450 yards + from blacks. Super challenging but a great hole and visually memorable. I will be back for some redemption now knowing what to expect. Definitely worth the money we paid.

No easy putts. Back nine greens were slower than front nine as it has just been open for a week.

Second time playing the course, first time playing without the wind. It plays much better when you have some course experience as opposed to you "flying blind." We enjoyed the round, booked on Golf Now instead of the course because it was available ahead of time. The day was amazing. The course was in good condition. Tee boxes will always need help, but fairways were cool and greens were very fast. It plays longer than it seems, especially if there's wind! BE MINDFUL IF YOU'RE PLAYING IN THE WIND!

course is not ready to open.
My gps watch is not working.
Bunker is too difficult.
Fairway is already brown.
Not worthy of money

Pot bunkers greenside and in fairways? Massive undulating greens with cups placed on sharp slopes? The north course layout seems nonsensical to first timer, especially oddly placed tee boxes This ain’t St. Andrews and the common hacker doesn’t appreciate getting on in regulation and feeling fortunate to three putt. This 18-hole “pleasure” for $70 excluding cart is a poor value, though the professional attention to all surfaces is evident.

I guess green fees are just expensive now. $70 to play a 9 hole twice, walking, is kinda crazy.

For it only being 9 holes it’s a lot of fun. Different style of course compared to their South course. Greens are challenging and bunkers are deep Like a Scottish links course. Easily walkable and in excellent shape

Great course. The front 9 are great. The back 9 are really fun. Nice to have par 3s that are unique distances. The teebox for 18 is in a bad place and needs some cover. Pace of play was a little sluggish for a Thursday at 2:55 so just know it’s going to be busy for now.
