This a a sweet little humble Par 3 that runs through the Springtown Area of Livermore. By appearance it's a 3.5, it's a public golf course and noone puts a lot of money into maintaining the golf course. But it's clean, it's affordable, and it's a fun course for practicing for the big game.

This place is old and they flaunt it. Nothing has been done to upgrade this place, let alone maintain it. From the building that houses the pro shop and snack bar, I am sure nothing has changed since 1972. I wished I had my camera to illustrate the point.
The course is a nine hole that weaves around track homes, so be prepared for peeps doing their thang around their yards. During my round, I was able to witness a guy mowing his lawn with no shirt (not a bad thing but his gut drooped past his crotch), 3 kids wrestling (not a bad thing either, but 2 of the kids were kicking the living shit out of the other) and multiple occasions where the music blaring from ones living room traveled to the course. I once hit from the rough to Ozzie Osbourne's "Crazy Train", tee'd off a par 3 to Fergie's "My humps" and putted to the rhythmic beats of salsa music, where I gyrated my hips after sinking my putt on hole #3.
The grass (if I may be so bold as to actually call it that) is unlike I've ever seen anywhere. It's like playing golf at a community park, where crab grass and miscellaneous weeds dominate. The actual greens however were nice and consistent and were actually quite challenging. That is the only reason they escaped a one star rating. But $18 for a nine hole of this quality is robbery. I was jacked 18 bucks this day, so bummed.
