The west course is a good course with interesting holes without being gimmicky. Greens were pretty decent but a bit slow. Fairways were also decent with some daisies on some holes. Tee boxes were down-sloping at the tees as we had to play two club lengths back just to find a level lie. We had a fivesome today and as far as I know, Blue Rock and Alameda are the only Bay Area courses to allow it if everyone have carts. We still finished under 4 and a half hours so we were not clogging up the course.

However, there was a man and woman (I am being polite) behind us playing as a twosome. Early in the round, while we were waiting for a foursome to clear the green on a par 3, they came roaring up behind us and the guy slammed on his brakes nearly rear-ending our last cart. They had a privately owned cart so they were regulars at this course. It made such a ruckus that we all looked back to see what the deal was. The man just gave us the stink eye and the woman wasn't exactly laughing either.

One of my buddies mentioned that these two pulled the same crap at the first tee behind some other group. We would have been happy to let them play through but it would not have done them much good as we were just a half hole behind anyway. But after what they did, forget about it!

At the 18th tee box, I saw them approach the 17th green and it was then I realized that I recognized these two people from months ago on the same course following us at that time too. I remembered the lady (again I'm being polite) cursing crudely at us for being too slow. I had given her some of that back at her.

I am just venting because I enjoy Blue Rock West but because I associate the course with these two, I just might wait a little while to play it again which is not fair to BR of course. I play at least 75 times a year and I rarely have any problems like this ever. Oh...except for Gleneagles in San Francisco. I played there maybe 5 times and 3 of those times, I was rudely confronted by a couple of regulars there who think they own the course.

One of the true joys in life is to have a nice round of golf having fun with your buddies while playing competitively too. Those of you who cannot enjoy themselves while golfing should be miserable in private!

Played sat 5/15,,, Teed of at 9am in the fog. finished at 1:15 in the sunshine. thank goodness. Was cold in the morowning and damp. Course was fine on conditions, pace of play was fast because of the lack of play on the course. When we left at 2 pm the parking lot was almost empty !!!!! $55 w/cart was a bit much. No cart girl at all. Poor poor................

I've played this course here and there because it is real affordable to play. However if the course maintains its current conditions, I'm going to have to stay away. Because of its affordability, there are usually a lot of golfers here. The course was pretty soggy when I played in early March. It rained a couple days before and really hurt the playing conditions. I thought the greens were pretty well maintained, but some of the fairways were simply unplayable. Huge patches of white flowers on two of the Par 5s that made the group ahead of us spend 10-15 minutes looking for their balls, all while we are waiting at the tee box. Even though I was complaining about them, you soon understand when you go looking for your ball. I remember this course being kept up a little better than this. I think I'm going to stay away until the summer and hope the conditions will be better.

This course is in great shape right now. The dry fall weather has kept the fairways running fast so its playing a little shorter than normal. The renovation finished last year has taken hold and so the greens are in great shape and the traps are full of sand and are playable. The greens are a little bouncy but putt true. I got an online coupon for a weekday round with a cart for $39. Not many playing on Friday.

Tee boxes a bit tired and very dry. Fairways running long due reduced watering but in good shape/thin. Greens are very nice, quick, true and hold well. Most sand seems new. Good pace on West course wi... Continue »

Tee boxes a bit tired and very dry. Fairways running long due reduced watering but in good shape/thin. Greens are very nice, quick, true and hold well. Most sand seems new. Good pace on West course with good staff and grill. Website has coupon deal after 11:30 with cart until end of 2008. Worth a look on a good day.

Until end of October $23 with cart after 11:00.
Fun track with good views and layout. Good maintenance and staff. Greens holding and true putts. Sand, fairways, rough good.

Last review had the greens coming up by June. One half of the course has different grass than creeping bent/tif. Those are kept watered and painted. They are soft and hold but do not putt as nicely as the bent which is dryer and more true.
The challenges of this short course come in the vertical changes and some small greens. Some outstanding views on the West course and a fun challenge. Fairways are dry and run far. A fair test. Good marshalling keeps up a brisk pace. Today with winds SW 20mph, club selection is tough. the nice staff make it worth the green fee, and with the East course as well, you can do easily 36 holes with lots of time to spare. The practice facility is very adequate. Good food and beverage both courses.

Some greens maintenance underway; should be good by June.
Fun layout and good play pace when choosing your time of day.

Overall the course is in good shape for the amount of play it gets. The West course was redone several years ago, and it has more character than the East. If you play during twighlight and pay the reduced rate, it is a good value.
