Welcome @philmcMN ! In addition to everyone else’s recos, also really like Boundary Oak. Very walkable, but definitely hilly. Metro by the airport is always enjoyable, too if you want to make it out to Oakland.

good call. Boundary is solid.

I’ve played Bridges about a dozen times and I think I’ve finally figured it out. The secret is to not miss fairways. If you miss fairways you will have a bad time. Seriously though, the last time I played it (maybe 2 months ago) they had really cut down the tall grass on the hills so if you did miss the fairway (like on #2) it was playable.
That said, fuck Johnny Miller.

Minor correction - don’t miss the center of the fairways. I landed a ton of drives on the left or right side of the fairway and while I can live with them rolling into the rough, when you do that and it rolls into a canyon OB, I’m a bit … put out.

I’ve played Bridges once and somehow shot 78 as an 8 cap that usually drives the ball like hot garbage. I’ll never play it again because with all the lucky breaks I got the first time I know the Golf Gods have a 90+ waiting for me.

Hey BA Golfers - Anyone playing Corica, Crystal Springs, Poppy or HMB next Mon-Wed (22nd-24th) and need a extra?
I found myself with a week between projects so I’m headed to the Bay to check-in on my parents - been a year since I’ve seen them and it’s that time of year to get our of the PNW dark.
Let me know, would enjoy teeing it up with some 'fugees.

I have two spots open tomorrow at Windsor, 8:20, let me know if you are interested.
Haven’t swung a club in months and with upcoming NIT and match play coming up I thought I better see if I remember how to play. I am going with the reverse-sandbagging prep - so of course I got out for an early round at Baylands. Course report - they sanded the heck out of the practice green which had me worried but the greens on course were running so fast and true. It was the first time I have ever played where the penalty area is actually penal as it is filled with water and mud (actually had to take a drop which is rare for Baylands!). Course is otherwise in great shape and I think I like the current fairway conditions even better than summer - the lies are still tight but the clumpy grass is a bit more spongy. Prices are another story and I probably wouldnt have played if I didnt already have golfcash loaded in the app. I also learned that they retroactively got rid of the free round of golf you were supposed to get with the 2020 Links card membership - love when a company decides to sell you one thing and then take it away later. For the whole year they kept saying “you wont lose it” we just cant apply the free rounds in the system yet…contemplating whether to give them my business in 2021 or go elsewhere.

I have a tee time Friday morning and when I booked it it was wide open. I was worried that they punched the greens or something. Glad to hear that is not the case. Thanks for the course report. Love Baylands!

Anyone have a scouting report on Seascape? I’m staying in Watsonville and played Pasatiempo last week. Looking for something easier on the wallet and close by.

Seascape is sick. Tiny greens, usually in solid condition. A lot of real fun holes and IIRC all Par 5s are quite reachable. Not a punishing track, just a fun round. Solid deal for the money

I would pass on Seascape. It a local muni up in the woods… Save your money to play Pasatiempo again.
Sounds perfect to me!

I’m only here until Saturday. Do you have another suggestion? FWIW, I don’t hate munis.
I would suggest driving a little south and check out Bayonet / Black Horse. Both tracks are great. www.baynetblackhorse.com
