This course is old as I see it. Almost all fairways are a simple straight “bowling alley” style. A couple have a dogleg that just angles the bowling alley feel. Several holes have houses very close to the fairway and drainage ditches.

Just not a fun course to me. It’s showing it’s age and it’s very low investment. The cafe / bar is quite small and very run down. Beer taps had their handles removed many months ago so all that’s left is the taps frame. Just cheap looking. Similar, unfortunately, to the course. Much prettier and more challenging courses are nearby. That’s where I spend almost all of my local golf time.

Played here with ppark81 using the GolfMoose Voucher. We were paired with a single and teed off a little after 11:00. Steady groups ahead, so the pace was fairly slow. Another single caught up and joined us, as well. In the end, we finished in about 4 hours, 30 minutes.

Conditions were okay. Some tee boxes a bit chewed up, but mostly fine enough. Fairways decent overall, a tad spotty and inconsistent in places. Rough hit or miss, but mostly cut down and not too much of a factor. The bunkers had really nice, soft sand. However, they were not that well maintained. The greens were receptive. Rolling at medium/slow speeds and bumpy at times in the afternoon. 18th green was absolutely covered by goose turds.

This was an okay course. Nothing too exciting other than the 9th and 18th holes, which are fun and challenging finishers on each side.

It was quite a pleasant experience playing at the San Ramon Golf Club. The course in general is in very good shape. There are some brown areas on the fairways occasionally; bare spots on the tee box areas; roughs are not too long; bunkers are well maintained; and the greens are in very great shape. Playing the white marker is not too demanding for average players but the blue marker is quite challenging. The signature hole, #10, with an island green is the most interesting hole for the course. Although it is only 325 yards but getting no with two shots require some precise skill. The lake protecting the green is large and loves to suck up your balls. #18 is on the back of the #10 with a pond right in front of the green, a careless shot will get your wet and ruin your birdy chance.

You will have fun playing this course.

Played this afternoon taking advantage of the great twilight deal of $16.00. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the restaurant staff were friendly and helpful as well. The staff were very flexible at getting me out before a foursome, but the afternoon was busy. was paired with another single and we went out at 2:30 PM. The front 9 played very slowly, 2 hours and 45 minutes, we waited at each hole for 2 - 5 minutes before hitting and sometimes waiting in the fairways too, the back 9 was a different story with due to the cold wind that was blowing all afternoon. Was able to walk over and tee up immediately, with no waiting at any hole. POP was 4:40 minutes, with the back 9 taking 1 hour 45 minutes.

Conditions:
Tee boxes: were mainly level with just a few that took a moment or two to find a level spot to tee from, but the grass was lush with only a few having divot damage that I poured the sand / seed mix into.

Fairways and rough: the fairways at times had some divot damage, but were mainly in great shape, the rough had some areas with bare spots, but mainly pretty thick, and challenging to hit out of, which was frequent being the course is very tight.

Greens and sand-traps: The greens except for new ball marks, from a couple groups playing before, that were not repaired amazed me, repaired minimum of three to four each hole sometimes more. But they were rolling very smooth and true and Fast, took about three holes to adjust. The sand-traps, was never in one, all looked to be in good shape, the sand was fairly soft from what I could tell watching my playing partners hit out of 3 traps.

Recommend this course, enjoyable but be ready for the tight and windy conditions.

Even though I live in San Ramon, I hadn't played here for a while. The course is tight, for the most part, winding its way through a suburban housing development. The course had undergone aeration about a week before I played and the greens were still sandy and slow. Nevertheless, one can see improvements that have been made over the last few years. There are some new undulations in the fairways, and the rough isn't an afterthought anymore. I tried chipping through the rough near the green and got held up in the stiff grass, something i don't recall seeing a few years ago. (This is a good thing.)
Holes 14 and 15 have power lines that can come into play, and there's not much the course can do about it. Hole 9 has an island green that can definitely psyche you out. Hole 18 is a peninsula green that pretty much requires a similar shot over water.

Pay attention to the wind, because even if it isn't that noticeable on the ground, it will definitely affect you club selection on some holes.

The fairways, rough, and sand traps were in good shape. I won't comment on the greens because of the aeration. Tee boxes were generally good, although there were a few uneven places the day I played.

The real problem this course has is that it's in the same town as The Bridges and Canyon Lakes, both good daily fee courses. SRGC would appeal to someone who really wants to walk a course because walking is easily doable here but not the others. It's not as difficult as The Bridges, so it's probably better for the bogey golfer.

Played on Sunday, 8/22/10, paid regular out-of-towner rate; ouch. But...it's been over a year since I played here for maybe only the third time total. The course is well taken care of. From the tee boxes to the fairways, rough and greens, no complaints. I like their bunkers with it's sparkling white sand. Greens were soft (big ball marks) but rolled true and fairly fast. I guess I prefer this type of course. Has some length, some doglegs (left and right), water hazards, and an island green and no gimmicks. Fun to play, good for all skill levels. Weather was great but isn't it always down south. (I live in San Franciscold).

Played here yesterday 3/1. Found the course conditions to be almost unplayable due to all the standing water and mud. This is a course where the houses are right on the fairway and the course actually winds through city streets. It's a simple short layout without to many suprizes. Te only thing to be aware of is the creek that crosses some fairways and is to the side of others. The wind is also a factor. All in all I would not play this course again where it not for them hosting a PAT later in the spring.

San Ramon golf club is definetly a course for the average joe. My home course is The Bridges and you can clearly tell the difference between there and here. The greens are pretty soft, so if you can get some loft on your shot, you will hold the green 95% of the time. the rough is non-existent around the greens. Holes 9 and 18 are both fun to play.

Played the course after two days of rain. Lots of big puddles. Greens were soaked and super slow....Course was well kept though. Hole 9 and 18 are fun as they are on an island. I got a good rate a... Continue »
