Am visiting my friend who has cancer for a week. We in the Fremont area and monterey for the week. I looked online, said ryan ranch is overgrown and in horrible shape right now. What other courses near fremont - san jose and monterey should we check out?

I enjoyed the CSUMB courses.

Coyote Creek & La Raza are probably the closest to Fremont, and they're not bad.

Down south, CSUMB is almost always playable, just watch out for poison-oak on the Oaks course.

I played Ryan Ranch two weeks ago and it was not overgrown- poison oak is present but is seldom on the fairway. Totally decent course with some serious distance on the back 9 of the 27 hole course. Good map avail. online. Check it out!!!!

That was my hood for over 20 years and it is an absolutely wonderful area. I would recommend Aptos HS, which is a mini de la, black mouse, which plays through the redwoods. As for San Jose, De La Raza for sure, and add Hellyer to go with it for a fun 18, and it is only minutes away. Any further Q's, you can PM me. :cheers:

did both hellyer and delaraza today. Was about 95-100 degrees out, hellyer definitely has the elevation but is on the short side while delaraza was much longer but not as enjoyable for some reason, quite a few walks to find baskets on almost every hole which in 100 degree weather was a bit brutal. Both were great 9 holers. Lets see what we hit up in the monterey area...

JR's right, check out Aptos HS, it's really not bad for a high school course.

Gotta get to Pinto Lake if you make it over to the coast!

I disagree. The original nine has a few beautiful holes and a few where you're almost guaranteed to get poison-oak. The "new" nine are all in a big empty field with few or no obstacles.
