Poppy Ridge Golf Course

$76 (cart included), played on Saturday, May 2015 at 9:00 AM

Ridculously slow, especially for one of the 2 NCGA courses that supposedly prides itself in combating slow play. We are not speed demons or low handicappers, i.e. we are average and waited on EVERY hole, aprox. 2m - 6m. Saw a marshal on the front, never saw one on the back. After the 5h15m round the 4 of us had burgers and/or sandwichs w/ a pitcher with tip for $90. At least the waiter was nice. Had to sit outside in a cold wind because they were setting up for a function inside. After all we are only the golfers and NCGA members who support the facility so why should we get priority? Just to prove I'm not a bitter Bob, good practice areas and nice friendly staff

If your game isn't on, this golf can be very difficult. Not forgiving meaning if you miss right or left, you aren't on another fairway, it's either a lost ball or in a hazard.

Good course, the wind can be an issue on most days. I will play it again for sure.

Teh fairways were a bit thin in spots but the rest of the course was in fantastic shape. I think that courses in general should have marshalls or "Player Assistants" keeping the pace of play up. We did not wait too long on any one hole, but we were not quite able to play without a few wait-to-hit moments on the tee. Play it forward and move your ass out there guys!

A fair, but fun challenge at a very, very competitive price for Seniors.

Our foursome played this course in 4 hours and had a great time. We have played this course several times and continue to come back for the value and the challenge of the courses. Playing different nine holes gives you a different venue each time.

when i played the fairways were in bad condition. a lot of the fairways were roped off. i'm a 17 handicap and this course was very challenging. however it was a very enjoyable but you had better bring your a game if you don't it will be a long day. the views of the valley were great.

3 - 9 hole course layouts, each of which provides a different degree of difficulty.

Enjoyed the course on a day with no wind. I feel a good wind would impact every aspect of the course.

Much better than avarage course in that price range. I have found it very challenging. The only con is a great number of fairways are not cart accessible. I paid $39 with cart for the round.

Overall a good challenging course. Clean and well maintained. I like the elevation changes and the water hazards. It can be windy and there are no trees for shade during the summer. Course drains well during the rainy winter months. NCGA senior rate is a good value. They no longer have GPS in the carts.

The key advantage of Poppy Ridge is their awesome Junior golfer policy. My boys, ages 11 and 13, played for only $10 each!! I am a NCGA member so I also received a discount for the excellent course. But you simply cannot beat the amazing junior rate, and how they welcome junior golfer to play with their dads....I would recommend to anyone who likes to play with their kids on a quality course.

The NCGA does a good job running this course, and the price is good for NCGA members. I played it with 23 other players, and we found the Merlot nine much harder than the Zinfandel nine. Seven of the nine most difficult holes relative to par were on Merlot. My only complaint is that the course layout is not walker-friendly. Strongly recommended if you don't mind riding.

Challenging course and quite penal if you stray from the fairways too far.

Long trip to get there. Price of $77 with cart is a bit excessive for a public course.

Terrible greens, fairways bare, rough all chopped up. They are either slimping on maintanence or they need need grounds crew. Course is in terrible condition- not worth the money.

NCGA members, and over age 60, can play for $39.00 on Tuesday/Thursday

Good overall value and challenge

Have more marshall support to get pace of play faster, but then more people means more overhead, so there is a trade off.

Great local course, well maintained, good challenge.

Quality course, good staff, food, and scenic views. Play the course early to avoid the valley afternoon breezes.

ONE OF THE BETTER PUBLIC COURSES IN THE AREA. SPEED OF PLAY IS GOOD. COURSE CONDITION IS MOST OFTEN THAN NOT GOOD. GREENS ARE WELL MAINTAINED. ONLY DRAWBACK: WINDY CONDITIONS PARTICULARLY IN THE SUMMER.

ONE OF THE NCGA HOME COURSES. VERY INTERESTING LAYOUTS...OFF THE FAIRWAYS WILL NOT BE PLEASANT...BUT YOU SHOULDN'T BE THERE ANYWAY.

This course is a steal for the price if you're an NCGA member -- $45. Fantastic layout and a lot of tremendously fun holes. Only the daily afternoon wind blemishes this great facility. The practice areas are the best in the East Bay.

It's the area NCGA course. As expected it is immaculate. It's a tough play in the afternoon when the wind quicks up.
