The best draining course in the Bay area. Was in great shape considering all the rain. Greens a little fast.

this course drains very well. With the record rain fall the greens were in excellent shape and the course was better than most course.

Rough Track Around The Edges

Too wet for an afternoon Tuesday on a links course. Not enough wind to keep the jet engine fuel you’ll inhale from Oakland Airport. I’m seasick

You’ll have to dodge all the geese and their poops everywhere including on greens…

I love the looks of this place but looks can be deceiving.

First played this course when it opened and over the years. Been about a decade since I’ve played here but it seemed the same just run down or eroded too much…

East Bay Golf

Overall a decent track but not in the best of shape. The price to play exceeded what I’d have expected from a public course in modest condition. Staff were friendly and played with two very nice you g men. But unless it were the only place I could get a tee time, I’d pass. Felt the same way about Tilden in the Berkeley Hills.

Everything that’s great about Golf.

Linksy, still played firm despite all the recent rain. Great vibe, Oakland muni, diverse, friendly, positive. Lots of walkers so the pace is great. Favorite course in the area, wish I could get down there more often from Sonoma. Wish we had anything like this IN Sonoma. Alas. A perfect day of golf was had.
