Boundary Oak Golf Course

Boundary Oak Golf Course is a hidden gem! First of all the staff working the course were very friendly and helpful. The driving range was still closed for renovations but it looks really nice and should be open soon. The course has a very fun layout and test all aspects of your game. The conditions of the course are very good considering how much play it gets and the very low price point. I only paid $49 including cart on a Saturday at 12:30pm. The greens are challenging and fast. The place of play was a bit on the longer side but not terrible and kept moving. I would definitely play this course again. If you're in the area suggest you give it a try.

This review is just based on the driving range and practice area. I have not played the actual course yet, but I will make an update to this review when I do. Price: 4/5The price here is very reasonable for a bucket of balls compared to other courses in the area. A large bucket of 90 balls is $10. A small bucket is $6. You can pay by credit card at the machine or you can purchase a ticket in the pro shop. Range: 2/5The actual range is where my lower rating is coming from. This range is uphill and there is a huge dirt patch right in the main area of the range, making it more difficult to see where your ball lands. There are no flags on the markers and no signs or indicators on how far each marker is. The driving range mats are fairly worn down also. However, there is a shaded area over most of the mats, and the area around is nice. Practice greens/chipping area: 4/5The practice greens are nice and they are located just behind the driving range. They were a little wet and soggy when I went out here, but I'm sure it is not like that all time. Regardless, it was still nice and I enjoyed it. Parking/Area: 5/5There is a lot of parking around the range and the pro shop. It is easy to find. It is nestled along the hills of lime ridge and nice park is right near by if you have kids you want to bring there after playing.

I had an errand to run in the Northgate area and was ready to head over to Buchanan to work on my swing. Once I realized where I was, I headed over to Boundary Oak. As you drive up, you see the nice green fairways and large clubhouse. There's plenty of parking too. The driving range is in the rear and there is an area for putting and short chipping. You purchase your balls from a machine- the price was nice too... about $6 for a medium bucket. I didn't count but it has about 30 individual bays, half of which are covered from the sun. You hit towards a hill that has seen better days. It's pretty worn out and mostly dirt. The individual turf pads and tees were in good shape. It'd be nice if the distance markers were updated. I would rate the driving range at 3.5 if possible, and a solid 4 if I could tell my distance.

My friends and I play here almost every week, sometimes 2 times a week, last Tues I played here and forgot my 3 week old range finder, I called Thursday, as I only realized it after pulling my bag out of the car, that I had left it on the carts frame, called the pro-shop and immediately the person who I spoke to knew what I was looking for, "it's an unusual shape for a range finder", I did find it, let me ask the cart guys where it is", after a few minutes, got back on the phone, yea, no longer there, and that was it, hung up and nothing. I called Mike the General Manager, left him a voicemail and nothing, not a peep or a phone call to even assist, $400 range finder poof! Gone. My fault for leaving it, but the lack of customer service definitely will never make me play at this course again.

I came across this golf course when I was at Walnut Creek. I brought my clubs in my car and decided to hit the driving range. This review is only for the driving range and not the 18-hole golf course. It was a hot afternoon and this range has only a few covered stalls. If my count is right, it has only 5 stalls that are covered. The total number of stalls is no more than 20. It has a cash/card-operated kiosk to dispense a range of balls. For $10 large bucket, it gives you 90 balls I saw a sign that it has grass as a range but it was closed at that time. I had a good practice swing for a large bucket. I was fortunate to use one of the covered stalls. I went to the golf shop and check the area around. I saw the first tee and it looks like this course is flat. However, I've to play here and rate how good this golf course is. I gave it 3 stars since I still have to try this course. Once I come back, I can give them a good review.

I played Boundary yesterday after a 20+ year layoff from this course. I stopped playing here due to the course being overplayed and in rough condition. A buddy said I had to try it again as the conditions were improved. I am going to agree, I thought the course was in reasonable condition for being a city owned course. The holes are challenging, the greens were in good shape, the fairways were good, but the tee boxes on the par 3's were alittle rough. Being in the foothills with every hole having views of the surrounding hills was great. I think this course is a great value.

Primarily use driving range No distance flagsNice putting and chipping greensJust behind the range

Grass is growing everywhere right now in the East Bay. Not here at Boundary Oak. It's almost spring. This course should be plush right now. Fairways are dry. Tee boxes have very little grass to choose from. This course has been neglected.

Great course! Always well kept and holds up in the rainy months well, greens are very fast!

Here's my photo with my PGA instructors! What a great group...I told them I need a hologram of each one of them because I play better when they're next to me!
