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.

Course is in great spring condition and the pace has been good recently. Were able to complete the round in 4 and half hours for each of the recent 3 weekend rounds.

Played an early afternoon round after a heavy raining day. The course drained well for the most part, only a few spots were muddy. The green and fairway are in good shape and the pace was surprisingly good for a weekend round. San Ramon has been my go-to course this winter.
