In summary

Tilden Park Golf Course is praised for its beautiful, challenging layout set in a scenic, natural environment with well-maintained fairways and greens. The course offers a unique golfing experience with notable elevation changes and a large driving range, and the staff and amenities, including a pro shop and restaurant, receive positive feedback. However, some visitors have noted issues with the pace of play, particularly on weekends, and a few have experienced problems with golf cart reliability and pricing discrepancies.

My friends and I played at Tilden for the first time last weekend, and we had a great experience. The course is really nice and well maintained, and it wasn’t too crowded, which made for a relaxed round. Ellie was also really funny and added to the fun atmosphere. Overall, it was a great first visit and we’d definitely come back!

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!

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 n…

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.

First time playing this course and first time playing an 18 hole at that. The course itself is beautiful and fairly maintained. The membership pricing is a good deal from the local spots weve been to.The facilities are fairly clean and they have a restraunt on site called the Overlook. We ended up grabbing some burgers and fries from there. Pretty solid food. Two burgers and an order of fries and tip came to $50. The course is definitely not for beginners. I had a hard time hitting from even the junior's section so i sorta gave up. 😅 Apart from that though my biggest complaint would be for…

Sorry; had no time to elaborate on the 5 stars earlier. This golf course is enchanting; it looks like a golf course designed by Dr. Seuss. It delivers a scent of freshly wet pines. This will clear your lungs. Yah, the land and fairways roll, curve, and bounce, so you face a few real challenges. And the 12th fairway is a model of the Loch Ness Monster's back. Where'd my ball land??? Did I hear a "plunk"? Anyway, you can do it. Sure, you might lose a few golf balls. Who cares. You're on one of the most beautiful courses in the world. Just get out there.

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.

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!

Old School Golf Course with tree lined fairways. The greens were recovering from being punched. It was also rare to see it in fairly dry condition this time of the year. 5 hour round,. The course is walkable but has a few hills that will have your heart racing.

Beautiful course in the middle of Tilden park. Lots of challenging holes and uneven lies. Driving range is huge (3 tiers) and excellent. Can be slow on the weekends. Love this course.

Great course to play. Pro shop staff is exceptional and always helpful. Management is great too. Always busy so recommend playing early morning. Lots of wild life. Driving range is ... interesting.
