Tilden Park Golf Course Tee Times

What a great golf experience. Lots of hiking if you’re going to walk. But so beautiful, and not too much sand or water. Triple decker range. First hole is a long uphill par 4. Enjoy!

Such a mixed bag, this course. The good: beautiful layout, fun holes, challenging but not too hard. Their grill serves the best burger (grizzly) and a selection of fine draft beers. The challenging: The fairways are rough and the course is very wet, though golf carts are still routinely on it. Pace of play borders on the unreasonable (5 1/2 hours +) even though it doesn’t seem crowded. Lots of potential with a bit more TLC.

Tilden is one of the most fun layouts I’ve ever played. Mountain park setting. No houses around the course. Just golf and nature. The course is so interesting. Each hole has a personality and a specific strategy. You have to know where to leave and miss. There are a lot of elevation changes and funky lies. The first two holes are absolutely brutal. After that it gets easier. It’s a municipal course. The greens roll accordingly. It’s better than it used to be. I used to play here daily before the new management took over. The course and green especially are in as good shape as ever. The lone negative will always be that the difficulty of the course does not match the price. Novices come to play for a good rate and spend way too long looking for balls they lose. If you’re not in one of the early groups, rounds can take a very long time. If you play alone at 650am you can finish in less than two hours. Also there’s a lot of cool wildlife. Such a hidden gem of course. It’s hard and not for beginners. Bring lots of balls.

How come nobody told me about this course? It's gorgeous! I just played in early July and the views, condition, and shap of the course was stunning. If you enjoy a good challenge with tough drives, elevation changes, and small greens this place is for you. Affordable as well with a great driving range. Make the trek up the hill and enjoy the views along the way.

Course is beautiful, challenging, and fun to play. Some drainage issues, but nothing crazy for NorCal in January. But this course is the Wild West. We didn’t see a beverage cart, a starter, or a course marshal on a busy Saturday. The group ahead of us played slow (resulting in a >5 hr round) and ignored the cart path only rules, destroying the fairways. If I were the course superintendent, I’d be mad that nobody is protecting my hard work!
