The South Course is now reopened after renovation while the North Course is being renovated. South Course gives players a lot of fun and many challenges. Even it is heavily played, the course is still well maintained (except #13 and #14 where the fairways cannot drain irrigation fast enough). The greens are punishingly fast and their undulation is wicked, and being able to 2-putt is the most rewarding experience. Second cuts are reasonably playable but if you unfortunately get into the rough, you may find more balls but not the one you lost. The most challenging hole for me is Par-5 #17 - long, narrow fairways, deceiving layout and curvy green. Earning a par on this hole is exhilarating.Jim’s on The Course has a large food and drink menu. Try Bloody Mary and fish sandwich. Juan is a really good and efficient server.

Affordable and nice course. They are doing some renovations so there are a few more hazards than youd normally have but all in all a beautiful course.

Two things would make this a 5-star experience. (1) Make it easier to book late afternoon / earlier evening tee times so that I can play with my kid after work. (2) Make a short game practice area / putting green more accessible; there is a ton of space at the far left side of the range that would be ideal for this - nowhere in the bay area has this kind of set up. It would be ideal for practice and also ideal for teaching... top practice facilities are very hard to come by out here.

Great course with even better customer service. Brett called to explain some issues theyre having with reduced tee times which is just to make the course and property a safe place for golfers and employees alike. Its hard to get tee times right now so the best bet is to just be patient and book online early in the morning for up to a week out.

In great shape, first time playing here. I guess its always windy here. 8-)

Always love playing here. Greens are firm and roll true, and the fairways and rough are in good shape. Bunkers are a bit hardpacked right now, but Im guessing thats the intent since we cant take them during the pandemic.Only issue? Getting a damn tee time. Its like winning the lottery!

Place was nice, golfing was great,greens were fast, thats my kind of golf! Staff was very professional!

A really great golf course. Would like to play it again in the near future.

Great day for golf. Course in great shape. Staff very friendly. Highly recommended

Excellent maintenance from tee box to fairways to the greens. Job well done. Best golf course anywhere.

Spectacular range facilities. For a public course, I haven’t found better yet in the Bay Area. Looking forward you playing the course next time as well. Range rat heaven

Nice compact course. Greens are challenging.

I know it is family friendly but yesterday at 2pm on 3 par..family had toddler playing in the sand pits..How is it a 2 or 3 yr old on any course??.

Bring your wind and short game

This is a great place to play. Affordable, great facilities, and the restaurant has pretty good food. Course is pretty manageable too even for a beginner/novice.

The renovated South course is fantastic! If you are a fan of links-style golf, this is a must play golf course. They took what was a beaten-down muni and had Rees Jones completely overhaul it. It is now a super-fun and challenging links layout, patterned after the great sand belt courses of Australia. Great variety of holes, incredible green complexes, and the greens seem to always be in fantastic shape. This is one my new favorite tracks to play. BONUS: Great bar with good food and lots of micro-brews on tap, so your 19th hole experience will be just as good as your day on the course.

Good

South Course redesign... bunkers, bunkers, and more bunkers... coupled with very undulating greens and areas of the same ball eating/club gabbing grass that Poppy Ridge topped out in order to improve playing time. The fairways and greens were in excellent shapes and greens rolled true.Despite the tee times being 10 minutes apart, we were on the heels of the group in front of us from the 3rd hole and had to wait for every tee/fairway/approach shot for the remainder of the round. Not a single Marshall/Player Assistants to move players along in sight for the entire round.When you have that many bunkers, you really should have people roaming the course to assist with bunker raking to keep things moving.$85 Walking in Friday at 10:30.Warning: their rates for non-residents states that the rate varies from $75-95 without cart, depending on DEMAND, Day, and Time. In other words there is no real fixed pricing for non-residents.They do offer an NCGA discount.Renovated clubhouse that is trying way too hard to be urban hipster complete with two fire pits on the patio.Will I go back, not likely.Course condition: 4 stars, because the cart paths are gravel and not designed well for those that walk the course.Pace of Play: 1 StarService in clubhouse: 5 StarService in restaurant/bar: 5 Star after the round, 3 Star at the turn, because people making the turn are not prioritized to keep play moving.Quality of food/Drink: 5 Star - Highly recommend the Chicken Nachos

Awesome! Fast greens. Great conditions.

John Vest and his team are doing a fantastic job making these courses a wonderful experience. For my sons birthday we played the new 9 hole course. This was the first time Id try to play since my hip replacement 5 weeks ago. John made my experience truly memorable. He accommodated my cart requirement by having a very nice staff member, Ben, join our threesome to drive me around. Ben was very sweet and fun to play with. I cant say enough about how much we appreciated the special treatment. Alameda KNOWS customer service! Impressive. Thank you very much!! Ill be back soon and be able to walk on my own! :) And by the way, the 9hole course is very fun, beautiful with some challenging rolling greens. Check it out.

Great course

Wonderful golf. Course does indeed have look and feel of Melbourne classics. Love the firm fast greens.

I will consider revisiting this review once the new course opens. Bottom line is that a high end community like Alameda deserves a much better municipal course. The layout is uninspiring and the grounds crew should be ashamed of themselves for the conditions of the fairways/greens. 3 stars, for now.

This place has the best customer service in the pro shop and at the starter podium! If you are able and up for adventure, ride the golf boards when available, youll never drive a cart again! Im of cougar age and I ALWAYS rent the golf board when available.

Fast greens. Great course.

The par 3 is one of the best around. With all of the high undulating hills, you can stand on a fairway and not see any of the other holes. It makes it feel like youre playing on a much larger course

The new Rees Jones South course is a great golf experience. The greens are the best in the Bay Area barnone. They roll fast true and just have enough slope to make it a challenge without it being a joke.Its very playable for all levels of golfers interesting beautiful bunkering, rewarding and just an overall great golf experience.Cant wait to see what they do with the renovation on the North.

Nice course, decent price. Very good range.

This is a great public golf course. The driving range is newly renovated. The par 3 course renovation will be done mid May. The greens have never been in better shape than they are now.Great for your young junior too.

Great food and amazing service.

Good golf course. Helpful staff. The new Golfboards available for rental is a fun addition to the golf experience. Note to use it, you have to complete the short training on line and reserve it ahead of time.

Renovated course. Elephant mound greens. Bent grass fairways. A short gane challenge. Play it before it gets trashed. Terrific.

Nice public course. Not fancy. Not crowded on the weekdays. Good prices.

Check out the amazing Bob Enos Legacy Big Band every Wednesday night, 8pm - 10pm, in the restaurant/bar.

Great pro staff manning the front desk! Play, a little slow. Marshalls should keep flow going,! Group ahead of us were 2 holes behind!!!

Great place for golf at a great price. Love the par 3!

I had a pleasant time playing at your course today

Nice and clean place to play golf.

Decent public course with two 18 hole courses. Jack Clark is the better of the two.

Was not impressed with the with the south course. The was a lot of mud around the fairways. Also a very foul smell around the water hazards. I will not come back. Very pricey as well for a public course. Go play Boundary Oaks for the same price!

The restaurant and good was great !

It is a very beautiful place and people are very nice.

AAA

Awesome staff is very courteous and very helpful

Good day on the course!

Nice course

Far better than expected
