Hayward, California
Aficionados of traditional golf (at traditional prices) will find a highly agreeable experience awaiting them at this Hayward golf course. Bob Baldock designed the Skywest Golf Course which is a par-72 municipal course which features classic lines. Tree-lined fairways can cause the usual kinds of trouble for errant tee shots, though large greens tend to play true. The par-3s all play long at 140-200 yards, and two lakes insist that you pay them attention on the front and back nines. The three former tee placements (6,789 yards from the back) were recently augmented by a new 5,406, par-73 option from the front.
