Welcome to the fray, phil! lots of good option in the east bay. One of my personal favs for regular rounds, especially forgiving if the wind is down is Monarch Bay, Tony Lema course. Generous off the tee and extremely walkable. You won’t get beat up unless it’s really blowing.
Corica Park in Alameda. More challenging but, awesome. It’s where we’re hosting the Norcal NIT qualifier in 2 weeks.
Lot’s to choose from all over. Wente Vinyards (not walkable but dope) and Poppy Ridge (NCGA course). More East bay guis can chime in.
I moved from snowy Northeast 6 yrs and I still pinch myself teeing it up year round. Cheers.
