Design, conditioning, views. Minutes from overrun, smoggy downtown San Jose to a site that could be from another country.

Too expensive, as are most courses these days. Seems like any decent course nowadays has "Pebble envy" and sets its green fees relative to P.B.

This is the best public golf course in the area, short of Pebble Beach, Spyglass, etc. Three nines, all with great views. Best conditioning around, except for maybe San Juan Oaks. Very interesting design, elevation changes galore, and thinking out each hole is a must. Greens are the fastest you will find outside the PGA tour, and that is no lie. When I first played here, I thought it was just becase they were new, but three years later they still putt like a linoleum floor. The Mountain nine has several forced carries off the tee of about 240 plus yards or you are in a ravine. The view off the last hole on Canyon will make you feel like you are flying. A + on all counts

The people here are pros and don't come off as snobs, despite the high class facilities.

Pricy Greens Fees

This is one of the best courses north of Monterey. I've played all three courses and prefer the Lake and Mountain combination. The greens are perfect: fast and true. The fairways are generous. There are plenty of risk/reward holes. The setting is beautiful. The design is great and the clubhouse and practice facilities are top notch. Unfortunately, the just raised weekend greens fees to $120. This course is far superior to Coyote Creek and Eagle Ridge. The Senior PGA tour should be playing here, not Coyote.

resturant very good. friendly people

Tricky lies; down hill, up hill, ball above feet, ball below feet all make for a great challenge! Beautiful vistas and wonderfully maintained.

General distance to get to the coarse. A little pricey. Not walkable, too many hills.

Fantastic new coarse. Challenging terrain and fast but true (great combo) greens. Slow play, long drive from general bay area and a little pricey. Bottom line; would I play it again, you bet! Pivate club atmosphere for a public coarse. In my top three new bay area coarses; Wente and Bridges are tho other two.

Beautiful pro shop and facilities.

It's a lot of fun to play with great character and each hole is very different. The par fives are decently short, which is always fun. The staff is very friendly and honest, so believe them when they say you probably don't want to walk, unless you're a real trooper. GPS in the carts makes for good between-hole entertainment.

Like every course in the Bay area, its over priced, but worth playing once or twice. It can get a bit too hard and fast at times, making it incredibly difficult to stop the ball on the greens.

Really hard best describes this 27-hole beauty. The greens are hard, dry and fast. The fairways are hard and give pretty good roll year-round, and are decently generous. The drive there is even hard.
The course is fairly new, so it's in very good condition. Play the Lake and Canyon nines if you can -- the Mountain is the most boring, but even it's pretty fun.

The chicken sandwich is awesome, the clubhouse is beautiful and the range is perfect.

The condition of the course is superb. Great views from elevated tees. Great weather for playing golf. Customer service is very good. Unique bag tag. Computerized yardage indicators in carts.

Only thing I can think of is the price which is pricey on weekends but still worth it.

A great course, one of the best in Northern California. Very well-maintained with the fastest greens I've ever putted on. The fairways give you a lot of roll off the drives, there is a downhill par 4 on the Canyon course that can give you a drive of over 300 yards if you hit it well. I played the Lake/Canyon course and the view from the tee of the finishing hole of the Canyon course was gorgeous.

Customer Service

Very good customer service, made us feel welcomed.
