Foxtail South is very back and forth but is fun for an evening twilight round in the summer with a few beers. I went to college in Rohnert Park and I’m a very big fan of Foxtail North(good walking course). Greens are typically in very good shape and roll very true if you play early. Course can be stretched out if you play from the tips, plenty of challenge and the course is well bunkered from a design perspective, but the bunkers are in inconsistent shape.
Played this past Saturday, course was wet but it was a very enjoyable walk.
Hey All - brand new to the Bay Area (moved from NYC to Redwood City a few weeks ago). Trying to get out every weekend now that winter isn’t a hurdle! I’ve played Old Course at HMB, Pasatiempo, Shoreline Links and Poplar Creek thus far. Don’t have a golf network out here yet so hoping to make some friends to avoid these solo tee times every week! Look forward to year round golf and friends!
Welcome, Matt! We have a solid group of players here in the Bay Area. And lots of different courses. This thread is a great spot to check out where people are from, which courses they prefer, etc.
Welcome in. Like Pat said, pretty active crew here. Someone is almost always up for a game.
Baylands and Cinnabar are worth a look down your way. Cheers to year round golf (from a NY transplant also)!
that strip of public golf from Corica to Metro to Monarch is an embarrassment of riches considering all are 5 mins away from each other. definitely ranks in that order - had avoided Monarch due to the pace of play reviews, but just played it this weekend was pleasantly pleased.
Hi Everyone, I’m flying in to San Jose from Michigan Wednesday morning (Jan. 8) for a job interview, and have the whole day free. I’d love to get a round in, but unfortunately I’m not going to be able to bring my clubs…
By any chance would any of you fine California gentleman (or ladies) want to play 9 or 18 wednesday afternoon/evening, and have a set of clubs lying around that you wouldn’t mind me using?
Kind of a long shot, I know, but maybe the refuge can pull through! Cheers, crack on!
If you’re flying into Monterey, nothing is really gonna be more than a 30 minute drive. You renting a car?
Bayonet and Black Horse are both awesome, and if you wait until 2pm or so it’s only like $45 with a cart. The other option that’s great and somewhat reasonable is Poppy Hills, I think twilight is around $80 and it’s absolutely worth that.
Monday might be the day to hit Monterey Pines as it’s super close to PG relatively, and I’m not sure if @GremlinGolfer has played it yet or not…
Must do’s: If you’re a wine guy, Carmel Valley has 20+ tasting rooms that are all fantastic, Joullian is a personal favorite of mine. There’s also some great restaurants but CV is kinda out of the way.
Question for the seasoned competitive Bay locals - what’s the deal with the City championship? I was on the site trying to sort out how it works. All I cold figure out was there is some qualifying rounds and then match play. But no real specifics. I’m assuming it’s all gross? Are the qualifying rounds stroke or match also? I know I’m not at the level to compete. Just curious. Thanks.
The way I understand it is there are a bunch of different flights. So you sign up for the flight you belong and then play gross against your flight from there:
36 holes of stroke play qualifying then a cut into match play. Not sure where they are playing the stroke play and match play portions for the non-championship flights…
Oh yeah I see now: 6.4 or lower for championship flight index, Open flight is open…play around at Lincoln to determine seeds, then match play. thanks G
