Solid course with recent upgrades

The course is under new ownership this year and they’ve done a nice jibe cleaning up some of the tee boxes. Can still be a bit muddy depending on the day but overall a great course. Note the currently do not sell alcohol but are supposedly working on getting a license to be able to sell beer again.

Great Excuse for a drive to the course

Mill Valley is a fun short course which allows you to use fairways and a driver. Fun course to play. Some tee boxes are on turf. However we’ll thought out elevated tee boxes.
Currently no practice putting area as I think they are rebuilding the 1st hole tee box and what looks to be a future practice putting area. Expect to walk mostly on the grass. Some areas are muddy as this course is tucked in between redwoods and a walking trail. A small golf swing practice area is just outside the clubhouse. But it did not look inviting.
Never the less it was worth playing a new place.

Rude / Unprofessional Staff

Staff decided that 7:30am on a Friday (our tee time) was a great time for them to start moving the pin locations on every hole. They proceeded to make us wait on almost every tee box for pin relocation, and seemed annoyed by the fact that we were trying to play at our scheduled time. Gardner was also blowing leaves and walking around on the green, talking loudly without any care as we were putting. Pro shop attendant didn’t seem to care about the feedback at all either. I guess you get what you pay for here but wouldn’t recommend.

Fun, quirky nine holer. Course in decent shape, greens were medium fast. Great hilly walk thru the redwoods. In addition to the regular sets of tees they have a set to make all the holes par threes, a nice complement to the regular course. Staff was very nice and I got a great price on golf now.

Worst 1st tee box ever and terrible layout!

Despite using fiberbuilt mats for a couple of tee boxes it was the worst decision ever for the 1st tee box. There was no way to tee it up properly for a driver. The tee holders would only allow my tees to tee it high so I had a terrible mishit and only got half the distance. Even though I played after a day of rain, I had a difficult time getting my tee into the ground and had to try a few times before finding a spot soft enough, can't imagine when it wasn't raining. The course crisscrossed several times with zero signage of where to go. Not sure why they decided that but it could easily be reconfigured to eliminate the criss-crossing around the course.

A nice course with great views in 2 hours!

I have been here a couple of times before when visiting Corte Madera for work. It was again a great experience. It’s not the easiest course, but beautiful surroundings with Redwood trees for great pictures. It was muddy the last time I played, but that was not a problem now.
I will be back again!

Poor overall conditions— basic layout

Unfortunately, likely due to the drought, fairways & tee boxes were in terrible condition. Greens were decent though. A relatively easy track without too many challenges.

Dogs Welcome

I decided I wanted to try out all the NorCal courses that allow dogs . . .this was one of 4 I have played so far. Course condition are not bad. Greens in pretty good shape. Tee boxes kinda rough (some off mats). Holes have nice variety going back and forth across the valley. Wouldn't pay much more than the GolfNow deal I got to play there. If in the area . . . and I have my dog, I'd go again.
