Every hole is unique on this course, located on the edge of the Stanford University campus. There are beautiful views of the neighboring hills, as well as San Francisco and Oakland in the far distance. The peacefulness of the course is outstanding--no houses border the fairways, traffic noise is minimal, eucalyptus, pine and oak trees come into play, and there is much wildlife including great blue herons, egrets, eagles, hawks, many smaller birds and deer. A barranca with a scenic stream affects play on 9 of the holes. I play this course as a member two to three times a week, and never tire of the experience. The course is kept in very good playing condition by an excellent greenskeeper and groundskeeper.
Would travel: 30-60 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Ranks with the best in this price level, Best course in the area, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
