Sunol golf courses were ill conceived to start with, IMHO. The omni-present gale force winds alone should be enough to keep you away. I've played this course quite a few times over the years (there always seems to be one of my friends that insists we play it) and my opinion has never changed. The wind is not just an obstacle, but also a source of severe wind burn. It seems that the times I've played it the pace is as low as a funeral march. There are those that swear by this course (as well as it's sister, "The Palms", but I'm more apt to swear at them.
Would travel: 10-20 Miles
Bottom line: Better courses for less nearby, Worse than average course for the area
