9 hole ball golf course, mostly for beginners and lessons, but the local elks play regularly. Still open to public but you have to be a member or know someone who is a member to access facilities. Disc golf 18 holes play twice around with two sets of tee pads and baskets. Excellent course design with great elevation and treacherous ob bunkers and ob golf greens. Tee pads are almost unplayable, locals play to the side. Tuesday and Thursday league play for disc 10$

Challenging 9 hole but a great time and very affordable.

Anthony Nichols

Fun a moderately challenging local course.

Bob Merjano

Fun nine hole par three golf and Disk Golf course. Golf course ranges from 100 to 190 yards and recent renovations include very well maintained greens.Disk Golf course was recently added and features two distinct pin placements on each hole so you can play a full 18 holes.Note that this course is very hilly. Carts are available at reasonable prices.

Tommy Kan

Fun and challenging up and down hilly 9 hole course!

Full DISClouse: I'm the main designer of the course and helped bring it into being. The previous reviewer makes it sounds like it would be BETTER to not have a course at all here. He is dead wrong. I'm sorry he didn't have a good time here, but this is a really fun and challenging disc golf course set on a golf course in the hills of Redwood City. It's a hidden gem. Thursday's are the weekly tournament, and $10 buys you in. 5 of those 10 dollars goes to the greens fee, and the other 5 goes to the winnings. There's an eagle pot and an ace pot. We've tried in the past to lower the cost to play for disc golfers but Elks management didn't buy in. Try to visit on thursdays for the lowest cost. What you get for your money is a course that's constantly manicured by landscaping staff: we never have to mow or do any of that type of work, which is really nice! Keep in mind that the course is a work in progress, and progress can be slow. The tees are in pretty poor shape and get slippery when wet. Ideally we get concrete tees here, but that will take a lot of time, effort, and money, all of which are in short supply. The golf itself is really fun and can be challenging. There are two ponds that come into play that consistently gulp up discs. In the wet season, the middle pond can be deadly from the back tee as its a 350ft water carry to get across. There is a bailout on the right ride. It is very hilly terrain so there are lots of roll aways, especially from a missed putt. The baskets are often placed in a death putt configuration, so you have to understand when to go for it and when to lay up. Most people I meet there love the course. It's very scenic, and always gives me some sort of challenges. It is difficult to score well here. It's also under new management, which is helpful, because the old course manager had some issues. Golf now has some discounts, but by far the best way to enjoy the course is to come join the weekly tournament, which is all day on thursdays. It takes two weeks to earn a handicap and then you can start cashing in the league.

went today and paid $20 to walk the course on a weekday in the mid-morning. When we got there almost no one else was golfing.

I've never played a round of 18 holes with a club and balls in my life. I go here to play disc golf and find the course layout to work perfectly in sync with ball golfers. Long, medium, and short holes are well manicured. The views of the rolling hills scenery is quote stunning. You forget your playing disc golf.

Brandon Skaife

It's a tough disc golf course, due to the fact that your disc can potentially roll down the hills, onto other courses and send you walking the opposite way of the basket. Hole #1 is the best one, so it's nice to start with a bang. Overall it's a great course and I have been there 2 times already and plan to keep going, I highly recommend it for locals that live nearby if you're willing to pay.

Not for Disc Golfers! I went today and paid $20 to walk the course on a weekday in the mid-morning. When we got there almost no one else was golfing. I expected it to be $17 because this was the price listed on UDisc and maybe even less with it being a weekday but it seemed like another $3 was no big deal. As it turns out paying $10 would have been too much after the way it went. The woman working the desk was pleasant enough and that's where this place even gets one star. As for the course, it was pretty bad, tee pads right next to ball golf tee boxes and then throwing to Red baskets for 1-9 and then looping around to play Blue baskets for 10-18. So you're running the exact route as the ball golfers. In a perfect world that would be fine but for us it was terrible. We would wait for the group of ball golfers to finish ahead of us, a common courtesy no matter what sort of golf you play, only to have the group behind us hitting into us as we made our way to the basket. This is not a big course and golfers we're teeing off and hitting balls within 10 feet of us on several occasions. We went back to the club house to rent a cart (another $20) to get away from the first group hitting into us and start at a new tee only to have another group come upon us and hit into us again!We ended up leaving after hole 15 because my buddy was getting so angry and we had driven a company owned vehicle and didn't want any bad exposure from getting in a spat with someone on the course.So to conclude we paid a total of $60 to play a course that is basically just a 9 hole and had such extremely disrespectful ball golfers we couldn't even finish for fear of being struck by a ball at every hole.If you don't want disc golf here then take out the baskets and don't claim to be a disc golf course! Don't setup pads right next to the ball golf tee boxes and then have the basket at the edge of the green! I'm going to leave this review everywhere I can think of so no one else makes the mistake of paying you only to play a faux 18 hole course and be ran off by old men who have no couth and recklessly play through disc golfers.While you have no control over what sort of unsavory patrons you attract you do have control over the layout of your course and cost to play it.

Real fun little course nestling in the hills. Not just a pitch & putt - a few long holes as well as tight up- & downhills. Some of the facilities are a bit old and weatherbeaten, but a lot of visible effort had gone into the course - better than the other way round. Giving 5 stars instead of 4 to in the hope of encouraging a bright future.

Par 3 - 9 hole course. Good scenery, easy to get on.

Jeff Koehler

Had a great time. The golf course is in excellent conditionNot hard to get on either.

The whole course is awful. A few of the tee boxes are made of range mats. The other ones if you're lucky are made of dead grass. Make sure you play with cheap balls, anything that lands in the fairways will roll into the woods. Also the bunkers are about an inch of sand and then hard clay. We also had the displeasure of playing behind an eightsome of disc golfers. Emerald Hills is easily the worst course including other pitch and putts that I have ever played

Walter Cook

Fun little course spitting distance from Woodside. Inexpensive, fun bar, and the Elks' Lodge has a great gym, a really nice pool, and two tennis courts. The place is a secret treasure.

For starters, as a disc golf course this is the only course that I've ever played that actually charges a green fee to play disc golf. Not only do they charge a green fee, But it's $16! Any other place that I've ever heard of that charges a green fee to play disc golf it's roughly 5 dollars, usually no more than that. On top of that, as this being my first time to ever play this course, I was totally unfamiliar with it and had the toughest time navigating it and eventually gave up after attempting to play the first four holes. There is nothing obvious about the set up and whoever designed this course for disc golf has no consideration for newcomers that are not familiar with the course. They have really nice baskets though. The icing on the cake for me was that when I went to get a refund on my exorbitant green fee after quitting, the cashier was incredibly sarcastic with his apology stating 'I'm sorry you can't navigate a golf course'. He's lucky I didn't show him my backhand style.
