On-Course Review
The baseline muni I call home...

Key Takeaway
San Jose Muni as far as Muni golf courses go is solid. I may be a little biased as this is my home course but at a minimum the greens here are fair and at times very fast.
On-Course Experience
If you think of your best legitimate golf scoring round I am willing to bet it is at your "home" course. That is the case for me at San Jose Muni. I have many rounds here and most recently had my best score ever.
The conditions at San Jose Muni largely depend on if there was a rainy season the prior year as they ride that water surplus out as far as possible. When it is dry you can tell with rough patches in the fairways. When there was rain the conditions can be surprisingly nice and "lush".
They always keep the greens in good condition though and provide a fair test for your flatstick. Although there are better muni golf courses in the bay area San Jose Muni is a good measure as a baseline to compare. The prices have increased over time (like everywhere else) and their Top Tracer range is making bank.
I have also tried their breakfast burrito and would recommend!
