Course History

Golf has been played on the Corica Park site (formerly the Chuck Corica Golf Complex) in Alameda since 1927, with early design work attributed to noted architect William F. Bell. The Mif Albright short course is named in honor of a longtime local golf figure and has long served as the complex's approachable, family-friendly par-3 layout.

The current Mif Albright was reimagined by Marc Logan and the team at operator Greenway Golf, reopening in 2014 as part of the broader revitalization of Corica Park. That transformation, which also produced the Rees Jones-redesigned South Course and the Robert Trent Jones II North Course, earned national acclaim, and Golf Magazine ranked the Mif among the best par-3 courses in America.

The Design & Architecture

The Mif Albright packs plenty of variety into its nine all-par-3 holes, which range from about 75 to 147 yards. Marc Logan's design leans on rolling terrain, well-conditioned greens, and thoughtful hazard placement to reward crisp wedge and short-iron play. Compact and walkable, the routing sits alongside the Lucius Bateman Driving Range, making it easy to combine practice with a quick loop.

Playing the Course

With every hole a par 3, the Mif Albright is all about precision and touch rather than length. Rounds move quickly, making it ideal for beginners building confidence, juniors learning the game, seniors, and low-handicappers dialing in their scoring clubs. Whether played as a full round or a casual outing with friends, it delivers a fun, low-pressure test that still challenges your distance control and green reading.
