It had been a couple months since I last played Poplar because I was avoiding it after they punched…read moretheir greens back in March. Fast forward a couple months and the greens are fully healed and in amazing shape for a local muni. Honestly, some of the best greens I've played on a public course in the Bay Area. The best part is that it's still affordable compared to other public courses. I played a round with my dad and lifelong friend this past weekend. It was a holiday weekend and we didn't have a tee time on Thursday, but I kept checking back on the website and was able to book a sunday tee time at 8:30AM. We checked-in and the course was empty-ish and was able to tee off 15 minutes early. We didn't have a single play with us so it ended up being a great round with just the 3 of us. While the greens are good, there are some dead spots in the fairways from all the rain that came over the winter but overall still in great shape. Poplar Creek is the golf course where you go for an ego boost because they have so many driveable par 4s. The caveat to that is there are a lot of tough par 3s. Pretty much all the par 5s are reachable in 2, so there's birdies to be had all over the course. My personal best here is 67 with 6 birdies! The prices increased since lasts year. Weekday is $45 and Weekend is $62. Either way, still very affordable by Bay Area golf standards. The course is very walkable as it's super flat. Looking forward to playing many rounds out here over the summer!

Greens were very good today. Firm and getting fast with all this sun recently after pouring rain…read morejust a couple of weeks ago!! The course is drying out and almost back to the forgiving fairways I'm used to, but I have to say that the rough over the last 2-3 rounds I've played here since those rains has been a little thicker than I'm used to...but I actually like it! Makes the course more interesting and challenging. Maybe I'm a masochist but I also kind of liked some of those big ponds that were out there right after the heavy rains...definitely made you focus more on driving accuracy vs just bombing away (but it would be nice to put a warning flag or something on a few holes where those ponds are hidden (like on #1, #10 and #14)...nothing worse than hitting what you thought was a great tee shot only to find out you lost your ball in a huge pool of standing water you could not see from the tee box or fairway (no penalty but cost me a $4 premium ball a few times!). It's also taken awhile to fix the driving range fence (going on about 2-3 months now) so that's a bit disappointing (I heard it will be ready by April 1 though)...however, the short game practice area is one of the better ones in the area for a public course (it's free if you're playing a round that day). What I do miss is the Par-3 Restaurant and Snack Bar. Hope they sort out that messy situation soon and get another great proprieter in there soon. Anyway, you can't beat the price here, especially on a weekday! It's my go to course when I need to work on my game and build up my confidence!!

Came back to Crystal this past weekend to see how the conditions have improved during the summer…read moremonths, and I gotta say, the course is in pretty good shape. Less muddy, and greens were in great shape and really tough to read. Typically when I play, I always play the tees that the people I get paired up with want to play, and this time it was the blue tees. It's been 15+ years since I played the blues, and I gotta say, it's definitely way more challenging. The par 3s become extra long, you have to be more strategic with your tee shots, and definitely makes you have to play your longer irons for approach shots. If you can score well from the blue tees, you are probably a really good golfer. That being said, I got some work to do lol If you are a newer golfer, definitely play the white or red tees. And plan to bring a lot of balls because there's plenty of spots to lose them, especially if you are errant off the tee. The prices here have raised just a tad with a weekend round costing around $127 a person with a cart. I was able to snag a discounted tee time through GolfNow, so saved some money there. Overall, really fun course, my girlfriend's first time playing here and had a lot of fun. Definitely will be back especially since it's like 10-minutes from home.

The pro shop was small, but had everything you needed, and the staff was all really friendly. The driving range was beat-up visually, but worked to get loosened up and make some pre-round swings. The course was really pretty. It was definitely challenging. There are virtually no flat lies and no straight putts. It's tough, but not so hard it's not fun. I also felt like the more you play here, the easier it would be. There are lots of blind tee shots and elevation changes, and lots of hazard if you're too far right or left. Even if your golf sucks, you absolutely cannot be the view from 90% of the course. Definitely not a bad way to spend an afternoon!

I originally bought my PING driver here, and the customer service has been excellent. As someone…read morewho golfs a lot, I've had my fair share of topped shots and less-than-perfect swings, and the weight on my driver has unfortunately broken off several times. Each time I've brought it in, the staff has been friendly, knowledgeable, and quick to help. They've sent my driver head directly to PING under warranty at no additional cost, and the turnaround time has always been surprisingly fast. I really appreciate how quickly they handle warranty claims and get clubs shipped to the manufacturer. If you're looking to buy new clubs, I'd definitely recommend purchasing them here. Not only do they help you find the right equipment, but if something covered under warranty goes wrong, they'll take care of the warranty process for you at no extra charge. That kind of customer service is hard to beat.

If you're looking for head-weights, for any club by any manufacturer, don't expect them to carry or be able to order. I was told to check with the repair shop as they may have them. I was told, "sure we have them, but they are for the shop kit and we don't provide them to customers." But, if you're looking for that Gopher Head Cover you didn't know you needed, they are the perfect store.

Since my last review in 2023, there was plans on closing this spot, but that date keeps getting…read morepushed, and this spot is going to remain open for the time being. Being so close to my house, this should be a no-brainer for me to come more often, but the quality of the range looks like it's about a close, and honestly I rather play than practice. The putting and chipping green areas are not even worth putting on. Can't get much practice in because the greens are so bumpy and showing its age. I hate hitting off driving range mats, so I decided to pay an additional fee of $5 to use the grass hitting area. Medium bucket is $13. I wish I would've looked at the area before paying the fee, because it was torn up and full of divots. The ground is uneven and either they don't rotate the spots enough or it's probably because the majority of folks who hit on grass here don't know the proper etiquette of practicing off a grass range. Either way, not worth it IMO. It's a range that I'll go to if I want to get a few shots up, but honestly I'd rather drive further for something of better quality.

There are plenty of stalls and it's rarely crowded, which makes it easy to get in a relaxed session. Plus, 144 balls for $17 is a great deal. The only downside is the putting area.

I would compare the food directly to pinstripes and i think they have more varied options and better quality food. My son does love the mac n cheese balls. The staff is usually ok and you can order on the app. The tables are not super clean because of all the greasy food options so do recommend taking sanitizer spray/wipes if that bothers you.

We visited this Topgolf location for the first time, mainly to watch a World Cup soccer match…read morerather than play golf. One of the highlights of this location is definitely the view. We were seated on the second floor, and it was amazing to watch airplanes landing at the nearby airport while enjoying the game. It made the experience feel really unique. I'm giving this location 3 stars because, unfortunately, the service was disappointing. We ordered chicken wings, which are supposed to come with vegetables, but our server brought the food without them. We also didn't receive any napkins. My husband tried to ask our server about the missing vegetables, but he didn't seem very interested in resolving the issue. In the end, I had to go to the bar to ask for napkins, and another employee kindly brought us the vegetables. We appreciated her help, but it shouldn't have taken that much effort to get everything that came with our order. The food itself was good. The chicken wings were tasty, and I really enjoyed my espresso martini. I would come back to actually play golf because the view is fantastic, especially if you enjoy watching airplanes. I just hope the service improves, because that was the weakest part of our visit.
