We kicked off the 2022 season by driving up to Oakland and playing at Corica Park South. The South Course underwent a complete new construction and design by renowned golf architect Rees Jones. Styled after the sand belt courses of Australia, the Alameda Corica Park South Course is the only one of its kind by Rees Jones in the Bay Area. Environmental features include: improved drainage and water reclamation, state-of-the-art irrigation, and drought-tolerant grasses. Even the soft-curbed cart paths contain recycled glass. Other course features include: professional Tour style course conditioning for great lies, climate sustainable grass with natural water wildlife habitats, wide expansive fairways to help your drives find the short grass, fun risk & reward options for imaginative shot making, distinct Australian design feel (without traveling down under) with 5 sets of tees to provide many different playing angles.
