Sunnyvale Municipal Golf Course

This is the only course where staff insisted we show the email to confirm the reservation.

It is close to the city and has a good course layout. Although the condition was not good because the green was aerated, it is a cost-effective golf course if you manage the green well.

Sunnyvale Muni is a good place to play.
No driving range. Only putting practice area. Come early to warm up those swings.
Careful of ungroomed sides of freeway hole 10 you do not want to trudge through that area. Heavy mud will stick to your shoes and there is no way to chip outta there. For now during winter conditions. It is important to stay in the fairway.

They over booked the day and pace of play was awful.

I played during the rainy weather and nobody was out there all day. Do not be afraid of the rain. It builds character.

This course has frost delays when other courses do not (same day). Over one hour delayed. 8 groups waiting to tee off.

I've played here many times, so I know what to expect. It's just a city muni course, not a private country club. My biggest complaint is the low rounds. They schedule groups at 7 minute intervals, and the groups are not fast enough to finish holes in 7 minutes, so everything gets really backed up. It's my last resort place to play.

I have played this course many times and I usually have good experiences. This time the course was busy and the place of play was terrible. I’ve played many of courses on busy days and never experienced the poor pace of play. When you go to a tee box and have to wait 15-20 minutes for the group in front of you to tee off it makes the round unbearable. Which was the case yesterday. I understand busy days but I never have seen a golf Marshall ever at this course and when people can’t keep up and take extra shots and take 10 minutes looking for balls a Marshall should be around to have them pick up the pace. They should know by the reservations how busy it’s gonna be and a Marshall should be around to make sure groups are keeping up. I ended up leaving after the 16th cus I was so frustrated and miserable due to the pace of play and it totally ruined the round for my group.

The round took a little over 5 hours. Why? Because they schedule groups 7 minutes apart, and that way they can sell more rounds. I only play Sunnyvale when nothing else is available.

Pace of play was horrendously slow. Course marshals did not do their job to enforce pace of play. Foursomes were playing from back tees that had no business doing so. We saw more that one on group of 5-6 playing together. Me and my golf partner left after 11 holes.
