Played Thurs with some former colleagues in a little reunion from the old days. This was one of the public courses we would ditch work for back in the early days of Silicon Valley.

Old style parkland flat course. Was just a place to get a quick round in. Was in great shape then and it still is and much improved IMO.

Boy has this place changed2 2 . And for the better. New clubhouse and restaurant, well new for us guys. And they now have a 9 hole course that is packed and does a great job with for junior golf. Jackson Koivun came out of this program and is #1 amatuer at the moment. And Kiara Romero as well.

The good news is golf is still reasonable here. Especially for seniors. No wonder the place was packed. + its an easy course to walk.

Tee boxes were all playable with no problems.

Fairways were mowed/clean and gave good rollout and lies all round. Virtually no rough to deal with but on the back 9 you will find some OB areas that can ruin a round.

Traps were all in good shape. No complaints.

Greens are good size, in good shape and chipped/putted excellent all round. And it seems N CA golfers know how to fix divots.

Great customer service from everyone encountered.

Nice complex and nice to see it is still in service after all these years. Especially given the growth in Silicon Valley.

Very busy Friday morning. Able to get out first as usual, but it is becoming more and more competitive to get that first tee time. Course is in very good condition right now - no issues whatsoever. They are beginning the renovation project on #17, so that hole will be played as a par 3 for about a month to complete the project. Looking forward to seeing what the hole looks like... » More

They are beginning the renovation project on #17, so that hole will be played as a par 3 for about a month to complete the project. Looking forward to seeing what the hole looks like when finished.

While the greens rolled well and were very receptive, they were much slower than usual, which is not a bad thing, but when you play every day and get accustomed too certain pace, it took me several holes to adjust. Otherwise the entire course is a joy to play.

Rumor has it, this course is losing one of the 9holes. It's going to be a sad day when it happens. Love the layout of this course! Tough holes and plenty long!!!

Finding myself in the valley late in the afternoon, rather than fight traffic to Orange County, decided to try to play a twilight round at DeBell, as it had been forever since I last played here. To my surprise I was able to find an open time and despite the slow pace, it was a beautiful evening, and I enjoyed it far more than sitting on the 5 freeway. Course was in better cond... » More

Finding myself in the valley late in the afternoon, rather than fight traffic to Orange County, decided to try to play a twilight round at DeBell, as it had been forever since I last played here. To my surprise I was able to find an open time and despite the slow pace, it was a beautiful evening, and I enjoyed it far more than sitting on the 5 freeway. Course was in better condition than I expected or remember it being. Greens rolled well, or maybe I just made enough putts to make it seem that way? Good coverage in the fairways. Several tee boxes were a bit chewed up with divots, but nothing too severe. Both bunkers I found had adequate sand but were not raked. While I would not choose to make this a steady diet, the course is interesting and fun. Recommend if you have not played it.
