The course is in great shape and will be returning soon to play here again. Thanks to all of the staff there that keep this course in spectacular shape. Some pros and cons. Pros: Convenient location, easy access with plenty of parking. The staff here are excellent, from dropping off your bags, inside the proshop, to the starter, always a pleasure to interact with them all. The practice areas here are phenomenal, huge putting green with lots of room to make long putts. Driving range is awesome and will accommodate several golfers. Ice machine and cold-water dispensers are on each 9 of this course and by the practice putting green for all golfers. The golf carts are very clean and comfortable to ride in. Also, in cart each player gets tees and a towel to clean your clubs. It's a nice touch Ball cleaners throughout the course and they don't have any bad odors being released from them. So many courses out there that don't change the water in them. The bathrooms are in excellent condition, so clean! Cons: Carts do not have GPS.

They are now charging me $50.00 for beer on the golf course in Sept 2025. The funny thing is, I don't golf and have never been on the course, they could check that but they don't. Instead they make policies to whatever fits for admin and screws the owners, the people who pay them. They also make policy changes against owners who rent out their units. The golf fee went from like $19 to $129 or something crazy and the fee for moving in to add you name etc which is usually like $100.00 for communities, it's now over $600 freaking dollars. Bastards!!!

Played this course today and it's difficult to review fairly for reasons I'll explain: upon arrival…read morethe course is set up like any premiere course (nice clubhouse, bag drop with no carts allowed in the parking lot, great practice areas with range balls included). The fellas in the pro shop were short and disinterested -- as many golfers have come to expect from more elite establishments -- but the cart attendants were cordial and apologetic (they didn't secure my bag properly so it fell off as I pulled away). The course itself is beautiful. Massive, well manicured greens, pristine water features on nearly every hole, beautiful fairways and tee boxes. The course does wind through a new neighborhood and construction is ongoing so you need to be prepared for that. The worst part of the day was the 5 hour round. I despise when courses get greedy and pinch too many foursomes off back to back. My threesome waited literally every single hole. There was no ranger on the course to speed up play but our cart would routinely tell us to pick up the pace as we waited on groups stacked up on each hole. The front 9 along took nearly 3 hours. This is unacceptable for any golf course but especially a nice course such as this. There are loads of nice courses in the Bay area so I'd recommend one that spaces out groups better or enforces pace of play.

This golf course is awesome. The staff that work there are great and very friendly. The T-boxes…read moreare in great shape as well as the fairways. The greens are very challenging so play for the front and let it roll to the middle or back. If you play for the middle or worse the back, you will be off the green. It's a fun track and once all the houses are built this course will go private. So, take advantage of playing here while you can if you don't live in the community. The practice areas are phenomenal, it is worth coming out here to practice if you live in the area.

This is for the golf course only…read more Playing as a non-member guest, first time. Three nine hole courses here, and we played Estuary and Sanctuary. Considering the amount of play this course receives, it is in mint condition. Fairly challenging Arthur Hill design with fast greens (12 on the meter) strategically located bunkers and lots of water. Beverage cart, snack and drinks at the turn and clean bathrooms. Range balls included. Lots of driving moving around the course so leave extra time - we probably spent 1/2 hour driving! Mighty nice course. The members are fortunate!

ProV1s so popular, I'm a Bridgestone guy so I bought a sleeve of the tour balls and a few multicolored tees, then I ran into Stash. My buddy Stash is the store manager and a funny, good energy and real golf salesman - he knows the old and new and as we talked shafts and my swing, I could feel he wanted the best for my game. I told him I used to be. 6hcp, I told him about walking away from the game for 6 years, I told him I'm giving it another run, to get back to being a good player and his advice was great. He gave me the name of a highly respected teaching professional (review to follow) and another lead. So, to conclude, if your golfing in the area, swing by and talk to Stash and tell him I sent ya..
