Pleasanton Golf Center

I'm just starting out so this place is perfect 9 whole course for me. There driving range is open usually until 9:00 and is very well lighted. They have about 20 covered bays so event if it's raining you can get some swing time in. I really am not qualified to rate this course but the rates are just right, people are friendly and I'm having fun! read more...

Harding Park Golf Course

Only negative might be the weather sometimes, just a bit foggy. Other than that great course, spectacular views. Since I've been there last (it's been awhile) they built a practice putting green and an all-season practice area with state-of-the-art TourTurf. All in all it's pretty good and the rates aren't bad, especially for residents. read more...

Deep Cliff Golf Course

Great course if your starting out like me. The fees are reasonable and it can get very crowded on the weekend. I like that even though I'm starting out I can do it with an 18 whole course, what helps is that's it's shorter length than a championship course. I've only been playing for 10 months and it's still challenging to me. read more...
