Great shape

I’ve been playing this course for 40 years in the fairways. I was in good shape as I’ve ever seen them.

Challenging course.

With few par 3s, this course is great for solid shots off tee and approach shots. There are a ton of daisies on the fairway, so a colored ball would be best. The fairway soil was saturated or had plenty of rough patches, so don't expect the balls to roll, knowing your carry per club is key.

Challenging course but poorly maintained

Course conditions were terrible. Haven’t played there due to poor conditions last year but hasn’t gotten better. Slow play- twosome ahead of us and took over 2 1/2 hours.

Waste of time & money

Sad to say this course is in the worst shape of any course in the Bay Area. Dirt & rock filled fairways, rock hard bunkers etc. $35 for what appears to be an abandoned course is outrageous. And to top it off, the guy who works in the “pro shop” is extremely rude and confrontational. I will not be returning here

Forgotten Gem

Gleneagles was in top 100 nine hole layouts in the country for a reason: Classic, as in timeless, tough layout. Doing the best they can with what The City will give them. Thank you to management and staff for persevering! May need to bump your ball once or twice. Well worth the visit!
