Course History:

This is a terrific course on a resort that is still open to the public. If you're looking for a challenging round set in a beautiful location, this is the perfect course. Since it opened it became incredibly popular with the locals and the stay and play packages have since made it a favorite among guests. Overall, given the green fees and the amenities, this is truly a great value.

What You Need to Know:

There are numerous lesson plans available here and it is a great place to go if you're new to the game or want to get a few tips on improving your score. They offer an eclub that features even lower rates on their already cheap green fees and the pro shop is incredibly well stocked.

You can book your tee time by calling the number above, but we recommend checking their site first. They do run frequent specials and they have several offers that are well worth checking out.

We recommend wearing traditional golf attire since this is a resort course. They don't specifically state that there is a dress code, but it is best to respect the course and err on the side of caution. The practice facilities are really top-notch and at the end of the day, the grill is the perfect place to relax. The staff is very helpful and friendly.

Playing Hints:

This is a course that is well planned out and offers just enough of a challenge to give pros a good game while not being terribly intimidating to a novice. The terrain is a bit challenging at times and we recommend a cart unless you're in terrific shape. There are plenty of hazards that keep the game fun, so you're best bet is to try to aim for the center of the fairway with most of the holes.

The eighteenth hole is a real killer, but if you've got a great drive, you should be able to get a birdie without a problem.

Course History:

This course was designed by Jim Summers and Sandy Tatum and quickly became a favorite of golfers from the entire bay area. The course is well suited to players of all levels and is challenging enough to give a pro a great round of golf.

What You Need to Know:

This is definitely a full service golf course and the practice facilities are unmatched. The grill is also top notch as well as the pro shop. You can really make a great afternoon of it here and have a lot of fun while you're at it. The course is home to numerous events and tournaments throughout the year and it is easy to see why.

You can register your tee time by calling the number above or you can use their online registration system. We recommend checking their website often as they usually have specials or giveaways every month. It is a good idea to register your tee time around two weeks in advance since this is a popular course.

We recommend wearing traditional golf attire such as a collared shirt and slacks when golfing here. They do observe PGA rules so you'll want to be on your best behavior at this course. We also recommend soft spikes so it's a good idea to change out your metal ones before you arrive.

Playing Hints:

The main issue with this course for many players are the hidden water hazards. It's difficult to know where they are until you are right on top of them so you will want to play with caution at least the first time around. This is a championship links course so expect to deal with sloping greens, changes in elevation in the fairways and numerous hazards along the way.

The only holes that do not have a water hazard are the seventh, ninth, third and seventeenth holes. That doesn't mean they are easy however. Most have narrow fairways, so you're going to want to avoid the rough at all costs. With most holes, your best bet is to really hit it off the tee as straight as possible. The one exception would be the fifth hole where you are going to want to hit it to the left to avoid the rough. The eighteenth hole also has a severe dog leg filled with rough, so it's best to go as left as you can on this hole as well.
