Baylands Golf Links

Good links style course. Walking more efficient than cart here due to many areas protected, unreachable by cart. Prepare to walk a lot and log a lot of steps. Many areas are designated as protected so an otherwise off-the-fairway shot here will land your ball into an area you can not walk into and retrieve your ball. Usually sunny after the fog lifts, nice views. Pro shop staff friendly. Restaurant offerings are not great, just OK. Restroom needs an upgrade!

I think this golf course is amazing. Even though it’s flat, there are many deceptive holes to make you get lost. I like this course a lot. There are also many kids and teenagers are trained here. Well maintained facilities.

In General Baylands Golf Links offers a genuine links-style experience, with firm turf, constant (light) wind, and strategically placed pot bunkers reminiscent of Scottish coastal courses - only thing missing is the high grass left and right of the fairways. From the back tees it measures approx. 6,800 yards, yet generous fairway widths and running conditions make it play shorter. Pace of play was exemplary—completed in just a bit above four hours with minimal waiting. The greens stand out as the finest element: well-maintained, heavily contoured, multi-tiered, and exceptionally true. Tee boxes and fairways are in excellent condition; bunkers contain soft, high-quality sand when properly raked. In Detail - Condition: Tee boxes are level and lush; fairways provide consistent lies despite frequent uneven stances typical of links golf. Greens are fast, undulating, and reward precise approach play. - Clubhouse & pro shop: The golf shop is well-stocked with attentive, courteous staff. Restroom facilities, however, fall far below expectations for a course of this standard. - Practice facilities: The putting green is spacious and matches course speeds accurately.

This course has really gone downhill. On the first hole, the fairways are lush and very nice, but as you go through the course, you see that the course has become troubled with the gopher holes, inconsistent bunkers filled with either mud or sand dunes, which are deep and difficult to get out of, and huge patches of bare dirt. The tee boxes are also very inconsistent some of which the grass is very long and very far from smooth. The greens were consistent. But here's the worst part, Palo Alto, which is a liberal bastion has deemed that anywhere off the fairway is a sensitive environmental area. The starter takes it upon themselves to threaten you before your round. If you go in this sensitive environmental area you're subject to being kicked off the course. The only other interaction I had with course staff was on the back nine at a par five where I pulled the cart off the cart path onto the grass. I was chastised for being too close to the Green. The cart was actually parked 5 yards from the green, and 2 feet from the car path. I do this so others can drive by if they need. The round cost $120 for 18 holes, a cart, and a small bucket of balls. Really not even close to worth it.
