Beautiful trees line the lush, green, fairways. The clubhouse and bar area are elevated and overlook the course and minus a few wet spots on the course this is a great place to play a round. Weather is almost always perfect and they have a good chip and putt area and happy hour specials at the bar as well. Have... More

good public course. easy to get a good score . very scenic . and great value for money. the only issue was that golf etiquette was noted to be completely lacking with player wearing collarless t shirts and sandals and still being allowed to play !!!

A lot of uphill, good driving range, makes you really test your skills. Recommended for good to better golfers. Beautiful surroundings. Good parking and service.

Great course, nice facilities, good prices and nice specials. It seems really popular, I recommend calling a week in advance if you can! Played the other day, it's always a challenging, fun course, I highly recommend it!

I played Tilden about 20 to 30 times from July to December of last year.I didn't golf there again until last Sunday (June 8), and was amazed at the improvements to the greens, fairways and tee-boxes.

The course has a nice driving range and course. The restaurant isn't too bad either. With reasonable prices, and a fun course it is a must do for golfers. It is preferred over Chabot, and Alameda, so if you are lookin for a nice course, check this out.

Overall conditions are bad, Greens are awful (slow, bumpy and inconsistent), but the biggest problem is pace of play, unless you like 6 hour rounds stay away. The only reason I'm giving it 2 dots is because Tilden does have some pretty holes.
