Hey Bay Area,
I’m coming down from Seattle next week to visit my parents in Redwood City. Bummed I wasn’t able to come down for the Chunks…but hoping to tee it up with some of y’all soon, maybe next week?
Thinking I’ll get out T-W-Th for morning rounds, something like Crystal Springs, HMB, Corica.
-
Suggestions on other courses to play (need to be back mid afternoon so not able to hit the Monterrey Bay courses)?
-
Anyone wanna tee it up?
All the best,
Roger

I’d avoid crystal springs. I mean its an ok course if you like 23 hour rounds.
Corica is generally great, it seems like they’ve struggled to maintain conditions a bit. Extremely difficult to get a morning time for a group.

From Redwood City, my list would be:
Baylands - gotten pricey, but still a great example of a revamped muni-ish course. It’s in Palo Alto, so extremely close RWC.
Corica North - would would be worth a visit - “Like a combination of the Old Course and Sweetens” - Tron. Only 9 holes. The South is great, as well, but like @marklemcd it’s tought to secure a tee time.
Monarch Bay can be a slow round, but weekday is probably ok. Apparently a local favorite of Mike Keiser.
Moffett Field - I never hear anyone on here talk about it, but it’s a pretty fun course down on the old base in Mountain View, so very close to RWC.
HMB is always great.
If you wanted to venture a little further South, Cinnabar is great, as well, but might not be a guarantee to get by by mid afternoon.
Also, didn’t mean to exclude the city courses, but I haven’t played Sharp or Lincoln (huuuge hole in my resume) and Harding is $$$$$. Presidio is cool for me, but gets mixed reviews around here.

This and Deep Cliff were the courses I grew up on. Moffett was a dog track when I was a kid but it was like $8 for kids and $15 for adults, so that’s where we played 
Conditions are much improved post renovation/face lift. I believe Google controls it as part of the ground lease it has for Moffett from the Government?

Yes, Google has improved the conditions quite a bit from what I understand. I didn’t play it pre-Google. The conditions are pretty good for a $40ish midweek round.

HMB ocean yes. To echo a few others, skip Crystal and go to Baylands. Truly one of my favs and it’s real close. Great am round.
I could join you wed am potentially.

Corica South is difficult to get a morning tee time on the weekend, but he’s talking weekdays so he’d be fine.
Usually closed Tuesday for maintenance though.

When I was a wee lad, my mom would drop me off at Deep Cliff and head to work a few times during the summer. That might be a good pick for a memory lane loop.

I’d be down for Baylands. Let me know when you know!
Nice, when did you play out there? I worked and played out there in high school ('99-'03).
A little bit before then.
