Ridiculous layout
The course was well maintained, and the staff was friendly enough, but that's where the positives end. The layout of this course is just silly. Many of the fairways are on ridiculous slopes, and even the tee boxes are rarely on anything resembling level ground. Even if you hit a perfect drive to the center of a fairway, be prepared for your next shot to be a foot above or below your feet. There are several blind shots over hills that put the group ahead at risk, because you can't see if they're still on or not. For traversing the course, you have two options. Either walk it, getting a serious leg workout on the steep slopes, or use one of their geofenced carts, that will lock up on you once or twice every hole, because you crossed an invisible boundary.
Most improved course in South Bay, kids and family friendly
Have been played Bay View many years, witness the progressive improvements every year. The course is a little tricky to be honest, however I love the bargain of the play.
They added many new tee boxes, which in the end improved the pace of play. All bunkers have been renovated with freshly sands, which is hard to find on public courses.
Another thing I like is the grass range (Fri — Sun). If you are true golfer you know what I mean. It is really hard to find grass range in South Bay public courses.
Last but not least, the course offers YOC for kids. What a deal for next generation golfer!!
The course is not ready
We can not find ball easily because of the long grass. Need to be lawnmowering.
Had a great time.
Staff worked with us to get out early due to our limited time availability for the round. Very appreciative of their flexibility.
Extremely slow play.
Very nice course layout. The weather still has the course damp and muddy in a lot of areas. Staff is great. Food and drinks are very good. For some reason everyone was playing slow and we never got a opportunity to stay warmed up. Being the first time this has happened to this degree, I am not letting me deter me from going back.
Tough course with unpredictable greens
Greens are uncontrollably fast, but not in a good way… On a slight windy days, don’t be surprised if your ball rolls off the green, past the shallow fringe and into the abyss.
Great Course to Play
Sunnyvale is a fun and challenging course to play. It's clean and ket up well. Tee boxes could use some work because they were uneven but overall grass conditions are good. I personally play well here, so I like this course a lot.
Tough course
Very tough putting greens will challenge you and increase your scorecard. Lots of slopes and hills, so practice different lies before coming. Bring a couple extra balls… lots of blind corners and hills, so if you’re not on the fairway, it might be trouble.
Meh
The course is all right. It’s got some interesting holes and nice views but is frustrating because the course design sometimes put you in a position where it is impossible to keep the ball on the putting surface, especially when you are putting/chipping from above the hole. This was a problem especially on the back 9 where several greens (13, 16 and 17, for example) were so severely sloped that there were almost no safe places to put the ball on the green, and nearly every shot we hit slid off the surface.
Bring your own distance measurements because when walking, there were no on-course markers to designate distances, whether on the tees, at 50 yard increments on fairways, or on sprinklers, so we were guessing distances most of the day. Carts do have GPS but were path-only. Signage was also confusing in places, as one of the par 5’s was closed but we didn’t know we were supposed to advance to tee markers over a hill in the fairway.
If I had paid 60 or 70 for the course, it would have been better, but the price point of 95 on a weekday morning felt steep compared to other courses in the area for what this course was - for example Coyote Creek’s tournament course is in far better shape and is a much more fun design - for 104 on a weekend morning.
