Played 9/28/26 First out at 9 am and had the place mostly to myself. Greens very wet from due or irrigation. All were in very good to great shape except for the 9th. It had large dead spots mixed across the green. Fairways in great shape. Lush and green. Rough not too bad. Mtn. course with trees lining fairway, but enough room except for very errant shots.

It had large dead spots mixed across the green. Fairways in great shape. Lush and green. Rough not too bad. Mtn. course with trees lining fairway, but enough room except for very errant shots. A few homes lining fairways. Some very close. Was not in any traps, but they looked ok. Fairly flat Muni course that was in very good shape. Not a destination, but a fun easy walk on the green grass and to hit balls around.

Course used to be........
Management of this property has "dropped the ball".
If this and Shandin Hills are "managed" by same couple that I've been aware of,
they are NOT doing the properties any good by simply raising rates and ignoring
the conditions for play. There are too few signs of feeble attempts at maintaining
the course, but the place looks like on... » More

Not an “In-Person” review but information I feel should be passed on…

Got some intel via a reliable source from within the Admiral Baker Men’s Club who played there today that the greens, which were aerated last Tue/Wed, are in “horrible condition”. He alao added “they were like temporary greens” and “they need at least another week or two…if not more…to recover”.

Considering the amount of play the course gets, that seems like a fair assessment. And with that in mind, I’ve gone ahead and cancelled a tee time I had for this Friday without hesitation.

Played on Sunday, the last day before overseeding and it couldn't come soon enough.

The good: greens were in nice shape, starting to return to speed and holding nicely. Rough is heavy bermuda, ball sinks to bottom most of time. Penal. The way it should be.

The bad: Everything else. Looks like an abandoned golf course from the street. When playing it's even worse. ... » More

The bad: Everything else. Looks like an abandoned golf course from the street. When playing it's even worse. Reminds me of the Bonneville salt flats. Basically dirt with some small patches of grass with white sand/salt showing thru. Tee boxes weren't much better.

Hopefully we see a transformation by Dec 1. Not holding my breathe.

Played this AM on a beautiful morning for golf.

Senior rate $51 which is not bad for the quality of this golf course.

Course is doing aeration later this month but right now it is in top shape.

Tee boxes all fine.

Played this AM on a beautiful morning for golf.

Senior rate $51 which is not bad for the quality of this golf course.

Course is doing aeration later this month but right now it is in top shape.

Tee boxes all fine.

Fairways nice and green with good lies good roll out all morning.

Rough was not to penal but being damp it played a little tougher than of course when it is dry.

Traps were perfect heard no complaints even from me.

Greens here as I have mentioned before are HUGE. Getting your ball into the right area to avoid 3 putts is challenging. Local knowledge is important when playing this course when it comes to putting.

Excellent customer service in the shop.

IMO one of the nicest public courses one can find in N CA.
