We recently got married at boundary oak golf course. After searching and looking at many different venues, our wedding planner found us this venue. It was pretty ideal because most of the venues we had originally looked at started pretty high for food and beverage and only included open bar for beer and wine. We were able to book with Boundary Oak and even received 25% discount for booking on a Friday and ended up getting a full well open bar. We originally booked the venue with Lance, the general manager because they were in the process of hiring a new event coordinator. When we had originally booked we had discussed being able to have a duet plate instead of buffet. We opted for this because we had only considered buffet, seeing as most places this was the cheaper of the options. But Boundary Oak offered Buffet, Single item plated meal, or duet plate (two different items) at the same price. Of course if they are were the same price with the package why not get the duet. Further on down the line, Lindsey, the new Event Coordinator contacted us to schedule a time to come and taste the food, we discussed linen options and discussed our options for our package. What I really loved was that they offered white chivari chairs as well as the gold, the only real way to go, because chair covers can be a disaster at a wedding. Seeing as there was a change in staff, we did have a mis-communication with the event staff. When we had gone to do our food tasting, Lindsey informed us that the duet plate would cost extra. This threw a huge curve in my plans, I had already ordered invitations without asking if our guests wanted chicken or beef, and I was afraid that with over 150 guests it would be way to much to just pay the cost difference. After some discussion and having to get in contact with Lance, they were very flexible with us and waived it. The day of the wedding was very smooth, the staff was almost invisible as far as being super professional. We really didn't see them throughout the whole ceremony/reception, only to serve dinner and pour more wine :) We didn't have any problems with set-up/ take-down. I was very happy with the venue and staff in the end. I would definitely recommend this place if you want a nice outdoor ceremony/ indoor reception, the views of the hills are absolutely stunning and the pond with the water fountain is timeless. read more

They don't really know how to run the course. We had a 6am tee time (1st of day), made turn in 1:45, to be greeted by a backup of two groups on 10. They then put us back on 1 saying it was open, but got there and had to wait, and the scheduled group behind us ended up waiting. Horrible course mgmt. Not our first issues here, but will be our last (not coming back). read more

Worst driving range balls. They are not even round. It's a disgrace to golf. Replace the balls when they are worn out. The course is in decent shape. read more

This is a very challenging course. It is about 7000 from the tips. What makes this course hard are the greens because they are very fast. One of my buddies had a 5 putt because it kept on rolling back down. Make sure you get the speed down on the putting green. The fairways looks like a leopard because of the brown spots. Overall the service and golf shop were good and the course has a lot of bends and tricks. Just make sure you are below the hole on the greens. Get your tee time from GolfNow because it is a lot cheaper. read more

Shady business practices here. Signed up for a tournament here last month that I unfortunately had to withdraw from, however, this was after they decided to cash my check for some reason, a week and a half before the tournament was even held. Called and was told it was fine, they had someone to take my spot, and gave them my address to send my money back. This was well over a month ago and I still have not received anything. You might be thinking, well, maybe there as a deadline to withdraw? Nope. Nothing printed on the sign up sheet, and the guy said they had someone to take my spot, so it shouldn't be an issue. Management needs to get their act together if they want to pretend they're good at organizing tournaments. Won't be coming back here again. read more

Oof! How, oh how does this place garner a 4 star overall rating? The course itself is OK. Not great, not bad. The downfall is in the woman working the desk at check in (Get a better attitude or quit. You are clearly unhappy) and the fact that they are NEVER on time on the weekend. My latest (and last) trip out there found us 35 minutes late due to overbooking the course. HELLO? How about booking 9 minute instead of 7 minutes? How about a goddamn marshal? How about the woman at the desk not being so fucking crabby that I never want to walk into your pro shop again? read more

Our home course is being renovated so we took a walk on here at Boundry Oak. I try to be nice to everyone, it is very difficult to maintain my smiling attitude when confronted by a surly condescending starter that I seemed to have ruined his day. I have a twenty five year history here and feel it is a real shame to be treated like I am unwelcome. I will continue coming back but I have hopes that the staff here treat their customers with respect. read more

Went here for Easter brunch with my family (party of nine) Checked in half an hour before our 1:30 reservation and didn't get seated until 2 pm because "we ran out of silverware ". Servers were great but sadly the food was below average other than the desserts. read more

This is a FUN and FAIR course that I really enjoy playing. It has a challenging mix of hazards and variations from hole to hole - definitely NOT a boring course. The greens can be tricky and may add excitement to your game for the day. The course is well maintained. Rates are very reasonable. The Staff is friendly, knowledgeable and considerate. Enjoy the beauty of being in Walnut Creek and tee it up here! read more

We had Easter brunch here this year. It was our second consecutive year. Both times we were a party of 7. Last year was pretty good even though my brother in law was subject of credit card fraud, and we refused to secure our reservation with a credit card this year. Good enough for us to return this year. But never again. This year was terrible. The selections were extremely limited. Minimal choices of cheeses, desserts & no omelet station. The scrambled eggs were extremely watery. The food in the chafing dishes was not nearly hot enough, barely warm. Our waiter acted like he was doing us a favor by serving us. I emailed the general manager, food & beverage manager & chef that following week and got no response. Very disappointing. Especially for the price. We won't be returning. read more

I played her for the first time this weekend while attending the Alan David Vasilauskas Memorial Golf Tournament, benefiting the Bay Area Crisis Nursery. It is a fun course and is very well maintained. We also had dinner there which was delicious and the services was great. Overall I couldn't have asked for a better experience. read more

I moved to the WC area this past March, and have been searching for a good, decently priced golf course. I first played this course for the first time past Sunday for $24 (walking), which isn't bad for 18 holes on a weekend. Although the pace was pretty fast, the group I played with said that this course is usually really busy on weekends, so I was pretty lucky. Their early bird and twilight weekday rates are $15 for 18 holes, so I'm definitely gonna try to play this course at least once a week read more

Greens are all over the place, way too fat, IMO. Might as well be playing at the masters. Nice course overall though.

I recently golfed for the very first time for a fundraising event. The course seems lovely and well laid out and the amenities were very nice. However, the warden was a complete jerk. He came by three times to tell our group to golf faster. I'm not sure how that is possible as we were right behind the group in front of us. At first I thought he was joking, but it was clear that he wasn't. I personally don't appreciate being harassed every hour on the hour for absolutely no good reason. Maybe it's a nice course but I definitely would never return here. read more

The course is in pretty good condition, layout is nice. Greens are fast. Prices are decent. The biggest downside to the course is the pace of play. Often 5+ hours to finish. Also, tee times are harder to get compared with other courses. Called a week before to play on a Sunday and the earliest tee time available was 11am. Lastly, customer service is not that great. read more

Course is worthy of 4 out of 5 stars. However, the gentleman in the clubhouse was ridiculous. They don't follow the tee times. We were at the cashier at 12:09 completely ready to go for a 12:15 tee time. The guy said we should have come earlier then moved us back to 12:45 for being "late". Typical attitude of a public course. This isn't the PGA, let us tee off. One employee ruined our experience. We tee'd of around 12:55. 40 minutes late. read more

I recently took a one hour private "tune-up" lesson from Dave Delong and it was far more productive that I had hoped. As predicted, he corrected some bad habits with my grip which were causing a weird hook, but he also covered stretching, warming-up, ball placement, club selection, chipping, etc. Frankly, I wasn't looking forward to the lesson but knew that I needed it. As it turned out, I hated for the lesson to end. Dave is a very knowledgeable, nice, easy-going guy and I highly recommend him. read more

This is my new favourite course. Extremely well maintained, good pace of play, friendly staff and memorable layout.

I've played this course a few times now. For the money it is a great value. The track is challenging and has enough variety to keep you interested on each hole. The back nine is definitely the tougher of the two. The fairways are in okay condition, but the greens are usually in great shape....very fast! The weekend tee times are a little weird, with tee times off both sides from about 6am to about 8:30am and then again starting around 11am. If you are looking for a top notch course then this is not the place for you, but if you want a challenging course with true rolling greens at an affordable price then Boundary Oak should be a pleasant time for you. read more

Sung Jin C wrote a review on 8/1/2011 on his perception of the events. It's of little value to get into an on-line debate with an individual who intentionally excludes circumstances so that it favorably supports his/her position. It's completely useless to get into any debate with an individual who intentionally miss quotes someone and deletes words from a quote so that it better supports their position. For starters the email actually read: "I am trying to track down the payments for your Sunday round here at Boundary Oak. Your group played as 4 players with 2 carts, and were asked by several staff members, both before and during your round to stop in the Golf Shop after your round. Please contact us as soon as possible. Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation " The marshal who worked that morning, the worker who had an emergency that morning, and I are not persons who would intentionally misquote or intentionally exclude words in a quote to better support their position. Nor do we ever charge someones card without first talking to them, and we assume responsibility and apologize whether we could control the conditions or not. This case was no exception. read more

Have played here numerous times. I like it and would suggest playing it. Very pretty and well kept. Well worth the moderate green fees. In relation to the course, the major issue I have is with the greens, specifically the pin placements. I have been golfing for 20years, staring at 12 and including several years of tournament play, and have never seen such brutal pins. All on ridges. Completely unacceptable and many borderline unplayable. I have no idea what they are thinking with the selections; either selected by someone who does not play golf or who hates golfers. This makes an otherwise fun course not so much fun. Lastly, the yardage markers are off. Plays longer than indicated. Beyond discouraging bad golfers from playing here (which may be part of it), I do not understand the pins. All of the complaints about the management are also well warranted. Beyond the pin placements, on numerous holes there should be signs indicating yardage to hazards but there are not. This is just lazy. Lastly, the range is indeed a disgrace. read more

Marshall lacks knowledge of customer service. My threesome tees off and the Marshall finds it to be important to tell us to play from the gold tee. No f'ing way that is going to happen. Dude early tee time after new year's eve and a new driver. People don't want to hear that and it is obvious it is not our first time at a course. Greens are extremely fast and all greens slope uphill. A round of golf is fifty bucks for fees and kart . Very peaceful setting very little road noise and course is well kept. read more

I hired Kevin for private golf lessons, for my almost 12 year old son, and his game improved dramatically... even after only a few lessons. I had been told that Kevin really has a way with kids and boy was that right on! Kevin really knows how to connect with kids, not to mention he's got a great sense of humor which is always a plus when dealing with kids! read more

Close to home, great service, pretty good for a muni course and good price at the driving range

Boundary Oaks is a great course with challenging par 4's that will keep you guessing. I love to play different courses, to keep my game up to snuff, but boundary always has lush greens with well taken care of fairways, constant repairs to old divots marks and greens, keeping this course prestige as possible. Green fee's range from TWILIGHT : 20 student and 20 for adult. I love cheap golf and boundary oaks isn't too bad when it comes to a great course for cheap prices. read more

I played at this course throughout high school since it was our home course. Seemed like management at the time didn't do great job keeping up with the maintenance of the course. They just did what they could to get by. No upgrades or anything. The tee boxes had hole maps on them that were definitely outdated and didn't really show how the hole actually played. Played at this course recently and it was a complete 180 from what I saw in high school. The new management has really stepped up their game. One of the bunkers on #3 looks like they had just redone it and it plays so much better than it had before. The water all around is better guarded and has more of a marshy feel to it which I like. It just looks like it's much better maintained than before. The tee box hole numbers look so much better. Looks like they had just gotten brand new carts. You're going to pay a decent price on the weekend but if you can get out there during the week, it's worth it. read more

Played the golf course today and it is in the worst shape I have ever seen it in. The greens have some kind of disease leaving dead spots everywhere. It has rained excessively for the last 3 weeks so it is difficult to get mowers out and the fairways are very soft and muddy. Yet they are still charging players the $63 rate to play a course that is in terrible shape. Other courses in the area dropped rates when they had similar issues and they were in better shape! Will not be returning anytime soon. read more

A solid, challenging muni.. Not pristine, but a the layout and greens make up for the occasional patches in the fairways. I like the option to play from the black tees. 7000+ yards and some shot shaping type holes, requires brains and brawn. read more

A local gem ... great value and play usually moves pretty quick on a week day. Holes just challenging enough without becoming frustrating. A really great driving range is a total plus. Pro shop staff can be a bit gruff. Teaching staff inconsistent. read more

Home course, I have played here 50+ times. It looks great right now. They have pumped a lot of money into the course and the driving range. Can't beat B Oaks. read more

Very friendly staff, and their twilight rate of $21 for unlimited play is amazing. The grass isn't the most ideal, but overall it is my favorite place to play in Walnut Creek, and for the price is the best in the East Bay. read more

Boundary is solid. Good course and is kept up nicely. A full driving range with a grass option up top. A great facility to practice with 2 chipping greens 2 putting greens and a driving range. There is even a practice bunker that goes out towards the range. There is a lot to like about the course that offers back tees over 7000 yards for the real sticks. On the other hand there are forward tees for beginners, as well as a wide array of tees for all skill levels. The course is a good deal and definitely has some great views of the bay areas rolling hills. The back nine has some very pretty holes especially. The course isn't too slow for all the action it gets. Overall a great course to play for players of all skill length. read more

Fun Course design. Kinda pricey for nothing special. Pro shop is blah. Practice grounds are normal/ on the nicer side. Course is in good shape but the greens are very hard to read. The speeds of the greens are fast and down hill putts you have know chance. The greens kinda reunion the course and round for me read more

I have played here a handful of times (have a local pass) and each time I have played it has been very slow, terrible greens, and the worst thing all was very rude marshall. Basically lied to our faces saying the group behind us complained by calling in (not true, we have been chatting with them all day) that the group ahead was an entire hole ahead when in fact they were just walking onto the green on the same hole(we had to wait for every shot like everyone else). Then when I approached him to say I didn't appreciate being rushed when we literally had groups still on the green, he laughed and insulted me by saying thanks for finally catching up.... we were shooting in the 80s. Never been treated like this on a course, and I've worked at golf courses! Avoid this course, you can find better places near by. Needless to say, I will never be returning purely for their lack of customer service... read more

Really great course. I spent about $50 for a golf cart and 18 holes. I was also lucky enough to get paired up with a threesome of local regulars that gave a lot of good tips during the round. The greens are tricky, and would definitely be much harder to read without the help of the guys I was playing with. I've played courses all over the U.S., and this one is probably in the top 20. Will definitely return if I'm in the area again. read more

As far as driving ranges, I really enjoyed this place. Besides having the $9 bucket of 90 balls, which BTW is very good, I've paid far more in the past. I can truly appreciate the markings on their mats. I didn't need to use my guidance sticks. I measured the flags using my range finder and their measurements are within 2-3 yards of mine. You should enjoy this range. read more

Course in in great condition. Weekends are very slow rounds and no information posted about tournaments on the website so call ahead of you don't already have a tee time. The staff definitely could be a little friendlier read more

They were so sweet. They let us borrow clubs for free and were super nice about everything. Exceptional customer service :)

Course gets 5 stars. Rude clientele and grounds crew do not get 5 stars. Pros: Challenging course; improved greens; great breakfast burritos. Cons: Snarky, LA attitude of AM players makes it difficult to enjoy a round of golf. During my three morning outings here, I've had misogynistic and/or self-absorbed male golfers hit into our group or yell at us to hurry up--even though we finished 18 holes in less than 4 hours. If you still want to play here, I hope a later tee time includes some golf etiquette. Also, we had to wait 10 minutes in the middle of the first fairway while the grounds crew mowed the green and changed the pin position when we played last week. Alternatives: Try Tilden or Lone Tree if you want practice with side/uphill lies. read more

I have only used the driving range and the teaching staff. What a wonderful experience, my instructor Katie Webber Krawesky was very helpful and has a great sense of humor! I highly recommend her!!! read more
