One of the best course
Very well maintained, premium course in the Bay Area. Best green.
great greens!
Course in great shape and greens were smooth and amazingly fast and true. (I think they are getting punched soon... first week in June?). Fun course with great staff. I’d play again!
Expensive
Too expensive for what you're getting. After the renovation from Palo Alto Muni, they jacked up the rates. The course is well maintained, but not worthy of the price, especially considering alternatives in the area.
Seven Par Threes
The course was well maintained, pace of play was very good and the front nine had me convinced of returning soon (and I'm from Portland,Oregon). Wide bail areas on both sides of fairway and the rough was player friendly. I was impressed. Then I made the turn. My appreciation of a friendly and well maintained, golf venue took a turn for the worse. Four par threes on the back nine!! I could almost understand the three par threes on the front nine but 4 of them on the back?? You have to be kidding me.
The course has been under imaginary construction for 3 years. I was told they have the new design layout of the totally new course to be built on the same site finished and they expect to see construction begin within the next three or so years.
I did like the course and will look forward to seeing the new course when finished, if I manage to live that long.
Good course to play if you are looking for a quick round
Quick round.
Easy course
No drinks cart comes
Around.
Fair Value
course in fair condition. good layout flat.
Good Bargain Bay Area Course
General conditions and facilities were average. Yet, for $20-$30 in the Bay Area, the course was a bargain. Long & straight and it can get very windy. Fairways were in OK shape and greens fairly good at this price.
Palo alto
I will never play there again.
Palo Altp Muni
* A Couple hours seemed to be created after the course was designed. Like they were forced in.
*Lost several balls where we couldn't find them in play
*Long walks from green to tee
*Green speeds differed hole to hole
* Course is soon to be upgraded, we were told. Seems as if they're letting the current layout 'go' before work begins.
Won't be balk until course is fixed
Good course for relaxed playing
Course itself is relatively easy - no creek, no trapping OB, and no ridiculous rough grasses. It is one of my favorite courses to spend my confortable time with at-home feeling.
great location
It was good experence invite the friend to play this cource. Excellent location but due to renovation condition of fairway were not to reconmand to others .
But staff, pace and restaurant was nice friendly good food with reaosnable price. Sure was cost worthe play.
Great for the price
I would play this course again. The day I played it was wide open. The course is in transition but still okay for the price.
Nb
Great Course
Open play and very beginner friendly. The pace was quick and we really enjoyed this course. We will be coming back again!
Palo Alto round
Only until arriving at the course did I out that 9 holes was closed due to aerating the greens. It would be great if there was a way this information was available before booking on Golfnow.
Mind the geese
Front 9 was slow as our pair was grouped with a dad teaching his son - and a slow couple playing as a pair ahead of us... But fortunately they headed off after 9, and after the turn there was no issue with slow play. Could do with a few more par 5s, but after their renovation work is complete it should be a good course. Very friendly, helpful staff.
Professional staff good greens
Enjoyed the facility and food good time ..good to see First Tee program supported there
Fun Day Out for High Handicapper
Because of the current ongoing renovations, can only recommend course for high handicapper like myself. Compact, efficient layout. Still it was open enough our group hit driver on a majority of holes, but did not waste much time looking for lost balls or playing out of the neighboring fairway. Touch pricey given number of temporary holes, general condition of fairways and temporary cart paths. Staff went extra mile. Friendly and helpful. Fun day.
Booked a golf now hot deal...still felt over priced for the layout.
Bottom line, for this type of flat track layout with obvious cut in half holes post remodel, they should be charging $25 . Over priced, go play somewhere else for the money.
