Google Rating: 4.1
Dress Code: casual
Technology: none
Condition: good
Course Notes: ---Hardest Holes: --------Hole 16 - The signature hole is a 598-yard par 5 featuring panoramic views of the San Francisco Bay with a bridge and San Francisco skyline in the background. This hole requires strategic play and is considered one of the most challenging on the course.​ --------Hole 14 - Despite being a short par 4 (315 yards from Professional tees), this hole is deceptively difficult. The green sits at an awkward angle from the fairway, and strategically placed greenside bunkers make approach shots confusing.​ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Easiest Hole: -------Hole 10 - At 152 yards, this is the shortest par 3 on the course and is considered the easiest. Wind is less of a factor on this hole compared to others.​ -------Wind Impact: The coastal location means wind plays a significant role. Holes 1-5 and 11-13 typically have tailwinds, while holes 6-9 and 15-18 face headwinds.
