San Ramon Golf Club

The course is in the beautiful east bay surrounded by mountains. I went in for the twilight round and the golden hours breathe new life into your game. The course itself is surrounded by homes, beautiful backyards yet doesn’t feel constrained. Some people (not me!) can expect some sliced drives to fly into homes - tho, they seem to have been quite resigned to it. Front nine are comfortable and back nine get long and a bit more difficult. Nothing a reasonable weekend hack cannot navigate. You could take the cart but it’s walkable in general. Absolutely no clubhouse though. A little candy vending stand and completely desolate excuse of a restaurant has never seen any customers that I know of. The restroom is a mystery quest. The prison is a dungeon and the driving range is stuck in the 80’s. But if you want to get a round in with zero fuss and take in some fresh air with the evening glow within awesome surroundings this is your home club.

It was a perfect weather day and the course was in very good condition. I got a hole in one on hole 17 and the manager gave me a commemorative ball marker and said they would engrave it at a later date. The only reason I didn’t give the course five stars was the lack of sand in the bunkers.

Nice, local course. Course condition I'd give a B-, greens were just sanded but overall not in terrible shape. Club house is currently being remodeled, bathrooms are clean, it's got a nice, smaller bar and snack area but the service is good. Decent driving range and putting area as well, but driving range balls are all over Hole 1 in the fairways. My only qualm about the course is the price, $90.00 for a round here seems a bit steep but that's golf in the Tri-Valley prices.
