My friend - a local denizen - was just beginning to explore the challenges of the game. ... it was a difficult course to learn and implement swing changes on. Though the driving range provides elite swing technology, it lacks key indicators such as spin and ball speed, that are helpful in teaching a new player, but it's still a feature that most driving ranges around the country lack. The par threes were particularly bland and I found the 17th almost unplayable. I also thought the weekend greens fee was exorbitant close to $151 +2 cart fees, plus a 75 nonrefundable non-applicable reservation fee, which is total nonsense. The pro shop is as unimaginable as any I've ever visited thank God for the restaurant and the wonderful people that run that place

The mini golf course has a similar theme to their SF location, the props and holes showcasing familiar landmarks in and around the city. Some moving parts, but not a whole lot. Challenge level is minimal, but it was still fun. There were some slow families on the course, but I was able to move around them and do the different holes at my own pace with little or no waiting needed. Easy parking too in the parking lot shared amongst the neighboring businesses.

You can even hit balls from the rough or sand and practice your putting skills. What more could a golfer ask for? Excited, I purchased a round, grabbed my clubs, and started. The experience was nothing short of amazing. The technology was cutting-edge, and the staff was incredibly hospitable and professional. The General Manager offered solid advice to help improve my swing - thanks, young man. I highly recommend giving this place a shot. Despite being 45 minutes away, I'll be purchasing a package and visiting every couple of weeks. The technology, value, staff, and overall vibe are unbeatable. Enjoy your time there!

The course is in great condition and it's somewhat linked style even though I have a tendency to stay in the fairway if you happen to hit the ball left or right your steel have a shot to get to the green exactly just they also have areas for putting and chipping if you want to work on your short game and they have a nice driving range as well and you never have to wait. It's always moving along well and like I said the course is in great condition. They have lots of equipment at the pro shop if you need anything, whether they be shoes, socks, ball, markers, tees, or clothing. I'll continue to go there because it's conveniently located and it's easy to get out and you can get around quite efficiently

First time trying this track on the Oakland/San Leandro border, literally right next to the…read moreairport. Planes fly so close that you can feel their speed and power. Total links style, meaning almost no trees in play, just a big blob of grassy space, but littered with bunkers and a few creek hazards. I'm usually not a big fan of links style golf, but if I get acquainted with one, then one can grow on me, like neighboring Monarch Bay. For a first timer it is just incredibly hard to know where to aim your shot. I ended up in a hazard multiple times after executing a nice shot, to find out 200+ yards later that my ball is either in a sand bunker or worse in a creek/marshland area that I couldn't see from the tee box. Then add stiff winds cuz its such an open space, then it just makes for a really long round. For some reason I did much better on the front 9, then on the back I got killed. The back 9 here is significantly harder, it's almost like 2 different skill levels. I do like the driving range here, as they have real grass, which is super rare these days. I also liked their golf carts, clean, modern and fast. They also have super great deals for seniors, like free golf carts so that's almost a $20 savings from a regular dude. I'm not quite a senior yet so 3 stars for now. When my rate drops to that awesome rate, I'll bump them up for an awesome value. But for now, I'll remain a golfer who gets a penalizing score yet also has to pay a premium. Such is life. But I'll try and give another swing here before summer ends. Round 2 *ding ding*

The course itself was in pretty good condition. They are renovating a bunch of their tee boxes, so the course is currently playing shorter than it normally would. It made the course a lot easier, as I was hitting driver and wedge into most of the par 4s. Ended up shooting (-1) from the white tees, which was a solid score. The course is pretty wide open, so if you aren't driving the ball straight it doesn't hurt you as much. It's great for all skill levels, and can be challenging at times but a great course to learn on if you are just starting. The greens were aerated earlier in the week so they weren't rolling true but we were able to make it work. The bunkers had a good amount of sand, and the fairways were well kept. Pace of play was on the slower side, so plan for 5+ hours to be on the safe side. I'd prefer a morning tee time as the wind picks up in the afternoon and makes the course a bit harder. My only gripe is that there was no mention of aeration of the greens on their website or when I booked my tee time. Honestly we probably wouldn't have come if we knew the greens were just aerated, especially since we had to drive across the bridge to get here. Overall, definitely a solid course that I would play again and again.

Service was decent (two bartenders who also served the food) bartender made sure to come out once in a while to see if anyone needed drinks and didn't have to wait long. Nothing fancy , but again sometimes you just want a place to have a beer and hit some buckets.

Family members from the East and West Coast also stayed, which made for a wonderful time. The building is nostalgic and reminds me of country clubs I stayed at in New York State. The beautiful wood, the grand staircase, and the royal-colored decor took you back to the gilded age. Outside my bedroom window stood two magnolia trees with gorgeous blossoms. The room size was generous, and every morning a continental breakfast consisting of juice and pastries were available only steps away from my door. We enjoyed lunch by the golf course and walked the beautiful grounds. The club rules are reasonable, in my opinion - no denim, shirts must have collars, etc. Perhaps the most difficult rule to follow and remember was the cell phone rule - they aren't allowed. Frankly, not being enslaved to my phone was quite lovely. After a few hours of not using it, I didn't miss it. Also, not being able to use my phone to take photos or chat is the reason I didn't take pictures inside of the facility. I respected the rules. I did take a few photos of the front entrance, though. One of my family members had a reception and birthday party in the ballroom while I was there, hence my reason for staying. It was fabulous! The food, the cocktails, wine, and service were spectacular. From the swing music the band played to the yesteryear atmosphere and attire, this was one of the most memorable weekends I've had in quite some time.
