The Metropolitan Golf Links

liked the GPS in the cart. Greens were fast but in great shape. Fairways have lots of dirt spots still.

Positives first - This course is incredible. Beautiful scenery with a challenging course layout that demands accurate shots off the tee. Greens were in excellent condition.

Big negative - The biggest gripe is that it ended up being nearly a 6 hour round of golf. As we pulled up to the third hole, were 2 groups waiting at the tee box for the group ahead of them to finish teeing off. The staff said they talked to the groups about increasing the pace of play but ultimately nothing happened. It was clear that it’s a common complaint they receive.

Would play again but only for an early tee time, otherwise you need to budget 5+ hours for the round.

Great greens. Carts have GPS and overall reasonable good condition of fairways. Staff is friendly and carts have reminders for pace of play. We kept getting this reminders with time (7 minutes,etc) behind standard playing time. However we were waiting on group in front of us. And they in turn were waiting. So maybe the third group in front was holding the course and they were walking with no reminders. I recommend this course.

I find this course to be very fair and challenging from the tips. True links style when the wind is blowing. I found I had to club up 2 clubs at times when hitting into the wind. The lay out makes you think about your lines from the tee box, where you want to land and attack the green. If you are out of position the course forces you to lay up. The greens have great undulations and rolls great and true. I have a 6 index and I shot my index that day. I finished my round in 4.30 hours. Always look forward to playing this course when I’m in the area.

I believe this is a better course to play out of other courses in the Bay Area after a rainy day, the course was in fairly decent condition, I would do it again. It can get cold and windy, but if it’s your only day off to play after a rainy day, don’t hesitate to play it,

Course is in some of the worst shapes I’ve played. Maybe a $30 course but they charged $80. Shocking to be honest!
Greens were in good condition but the rest of the course is disgraceful unfortunately

Although this place gets wind like no other courses I have played, it proves to be a challenging and fun course to play. Aside from a few fairways that were pretty torn up, the staff has taken good care of the greens.
