Peacock Gap Golf Club

Played PG today. A fun track with some challenging holes. Fairways are pretty good, greens look nice but were on the slow side…maybe an 8. Its breezy here so its gonna feel cooler. Thanks for having me!

Very friendly and inviting staff, wonderful practice facility, and a nice neighborhood country club style layout, with a beautiful surroundings and atmosphere. This was my second time playing the course and while the greens were sandy after just being aerated, I had a great time with friends. Excellent place to spend a morning or afternoon.

I play here twice a month and enjoy it. The course is very playable with interesting holes. The cafe is a reliabley great lunch with good service and tasty sandwiches. salmon salad was excellent. BLT is not on the menus but always available and delicious. Free refills on cranberry and sodas.

The clubhouse looks nice 👍, but the course itself is just fine. Not much design here, all straight ahead fairways, but get to see some nice scenaries here, lucky to play here during 🍂🍁 autumn, the maple trees beautify the course a lot. Hole 10 is the first hole woke me up, downhill Par 3, couple bunkers around the green, slope on the green, starting to get challenging. I also like Hole 12, dogleg and slope on the green, that's it.

Big shout out to the entire crew at Peacock Gap Golf Club. Our firm just held our annual corporate golf tournament and post-event party at the club and the entire affair was top notch. Golf check-in was seamless and all foursomes teed off on time and finished in a timely manner. Manager Shawn went well above and beyond to ensure that the after-party was a success. There were too many thoughtful additions and touches to list. In addition to Shawn, special thanks to Chris, Mary and Pedro!

My friend and I recently had a very disappointing experience at Peacock gap. While we are 18 and enjoy our membership of youth on course and use it regularly, We wanted to book a tee time Outside of the hours where the five dollar fee is honored. Paying full price one would expect that we could also get a cart. After asking the guy in the pro shop for a cart, he said you can’t get one if you’re using youth on course. When we said we were not using youth course, he said “well you have to be 18” when we said we were 18. He said “well you have to be 21” and then proceed to explain that we couldn’t get a cart because other people had recently been irresponsible in the carts. He then told us that we could walk the course and that we were “young and it would be good for us.” At the $62 I feel it was unfair of him to not let us PAY for the carts, just because we were of similar age to people who had messed up carts previously. Overall, we only ended up walking nine holes because my friend recently has ankle surgery and it was starting to get sore. Overall I would say this was a very negative experience but I have to point out that the guy that teed us of was very nice. Best wishes to him.

Had a last minute cancellation in our foursome and guy in pro shop gave me a little bit of a hassle about it. That I should have called. He was right and I told him that. Apologized. So we get out to the first green and it was freshly punched and sanded. No mention of that when I made the time. No mention in the pro shop. No discount. No apologies. Drive 45 minutes to play greens punched within the week. Place turns into an absolute swamp in the winter so there’s that too.

I have had the opportunity to play over 30 rounds of golf at Peacock Gap in San Rafael. As a club fitter working in the industry and someone who takes golf seriously, I had initially established pleasant arrangements at this club and even referred people for lessons. However, due to several negative experiences, I am compelled to give this place a two-star rating. Let's start with the positives. The course itself maintains good conditions. The fairways are well-manicured, the greens are usually in excellent shape, and the bunkers are well-maintained. These factors contribute to a generally enjoyable round of golf, allowing players to focus on their game without worrying about disruptive or frustrating conditions on the course. One of my issues with this course lies in its incredibly slow pace of play, particularly on weekends. The sluggish speed at which rounds progress can significantly diminish the overall experience. This slow rate of play can lead to frustration and hinder the enjoyment of the game. Furthermore, my interactions with the staff at Peacock Gap have left a sour taste in my mouth. The overall atmosphere feels more akin to a cult than a place focused on improving golf performance. While I used to hold Peacock Gap in high regard, I don’t fully endorse it to anyone seeking a positive golfing experience. In summary, Peacock Gap Golf Course in San Rafael offers well-maintained conditions, but the interactions have so significantly impacted my overall perception of the course. I’ll still go there sometimes.
