This is another region I’ve been able to explore more and more as the years go by, and there’s no shortage of great golf options to consider. These ranking encompass the East Bay Area including Contra Costa County and Alameda County. Other Bay Area regions are listed separately on my Regional Rankings page.
These rankings are based on my impressions of the overall design, scenery and relative value combined with more measurable elements such as conditioning, facilities and customer service (taking into account my personal experience(s) at the course and general word-of-mouth from Greenskeeper.org reviews/ratings).
Keep in mind when clicking on any active review links below that often I review multiple courses in the same article, so sometimes you have to scroll down in the story to find the course listed here.
