About this course

Mif Albright 9 is one of the three nine-hole courses at Corica Park Golf Club, a municipal facility situated on Bay Farm Island in Alameda, California. The complex overlooks the San Francisco Bay and offers views across the water toward the East Bay hills. William Francis Bell designed the original courses here in the 1960s, creating a layout that serves the public golf community in the Bay Area with accessible, straightforward golf on relatively flat terrain. The Mif Albright 9, named after a significant figure in the club's history, features the characteristic elements of Bell's municipal design work: modest length, strategic bunkering, and playability for golfers of varying abilities. The routing takes advantage of the bayfront setting, with prevailing winds often influencing club selection and shot-making. The course shares the property with the Earl Fry 9 and Jack Clark 9, allowing various eighteen-hole combinations for daily play. Corica Park underwent significant renovation work in recent years to modernize its facilities while maintaining its role as a high-volume public venue. The complex serves both casual recreational players and competitive junior and amateur golfers from the surrounding communities. Its location near Oakland International Airport and proximity to downtown San Francisco make it a convenient option for Bay Area residents seeking affordable golf with water views.

Getting there

The journey to Corica Park Golf Club begins at Oakland International Airport, a mere fifteen-minute drive across the estuary into the island city of Alameda. San Francisco International offers an alternative gateway roughly forty minutes north, though the Oakland routing delivers you more directly to this bayfront municipal gem. The approach traces the shoreline along Doolittle Drive, where the hum of the East Bay gives way to open sky and water, before arriving at a sprawling complex that has anchored Alameda's golfing life since 1927 - a democratic counterpoint to the region's more guarded clubs, perched where the bay breeze meets accessible, thoughtfully restored public ground.
