How far are you willing to travel? Poppy Ridge is near by, and it seems to be recommended a lot, but I never thought it was all that.

He's probably closer to Poppy Hills, although I'd lean toward playing Pasatiempo, which is even closer. |

I like the courses south of San Jose, along 101. Here's a good map showing relative proximities to SJ: http://www.ncga.org/course-dir/south-bay-area/I like all three of these: Coyote Creek (I prefer the Tournament course over Valley) Cinnebar Eagle Ridge If you're interested in something different, more tricked up, there's The Ranch. It's closer than the others. Crazy elevation changes on some of the holes, bunker in the middle of a green. Lots of environmentally sensitive areas, so you lose a lot of balls. I had a 7-putt on one of the greens. If you're looking for tee time specials, I used to use this site a lot: http://www.golfnow.com/sanfrancisco/cty.asp(South Bay) |

Rickhicks, if you still like her, why don't you ask her to go away and play golf for your San Jose weekend!!!  |

Well, I was actually thinking more from the woman's perspective. You seem to be a rare breed when it comes to interest in golf. Then again, this is a golf forum despite the dearth of actual golf discussion here. |
