Very linksy with subtle elevation changes, fast undulating greens. Despite the elevation changes this course can be easily walked. The 18th hole is a bit disappointing but given the lack of land they probably did what they could.

Firm & fast. Nice views over the rolling East Bay hills. Definitely a new age/“woke” course with bounding hills to refocus shots hut wide of target (on the proper side).

Right from the first hole, a downhill par 4 where you are 100 ft in the air you are wowed. The beauty especially in the early morning is overwhelming ! Great holes, you need to drive and putt it well. And always in excellent shape….

Old school hidden gem with lots of charm and quirk - originally laid out by Seth Raynor, and my understanding is that Jay Blasi is going to do a restoration next year. Maybe 4-5 drivers all day, insanely small and undulated greens, and funky routing that crosses lines of play.

Oakhurst has the possibility of being one of the best in the Bay but management just can’t seem to maintain it. While the course is bordered by homes, they are so far out of play that it’s not an issue.

Very rolling property - tons of hazards that are almost always on the right of the hole. Some gimmicky holes with a few split fairways. Handful of short par 4’s. Greens were well maintained and pretty consistent.

Right next to Oakland airport cool to have planes fly over. Super cheap to walk especially for Oakland residents. Greens are in good shape, back tee boxes are like fluffy not a huge fan of them but the course is almost always getting gusty and makes for some of the holes to be really challenging.

Fun links style. Play early. Afternoon windy and this might be the only place in the Bay Area that has mosquitoes.
