Crystal Springs Golf Course

Crystal Springs Golf Course is a public 18-hole round on the slopes above the Crystal Springs Reservoir near Burlingame. Its wooded corridors, hills and reservoir views are documented by the operator’s course overview. The club sells public rounds and posts 2026 rates.

History and design

The operator credits William Herbert Fowler with designing the course in 1924. Its course information describes a natural-terrain routing and well-bunkered greens. The operator reported that a coursewide bunker renovation began in January 2022, covering sand, surrounding grass, liners and drainage; it did not announce a new 18-hole routing in that project notice.

Playing the course

The operator’s Blue tee specification and linked scorecard image agree on 6,550 yards and par 72 for 18 holes; the specification gives a men’s rating of 72.3 and slope of 131. A nonspecific back-tee sentence on the same page instead says 6,628 yards and slope 124, so use the named Blue line and confirm the card when you book. The current USGA Blue men’s row also matches this tuple; the scorecard image has no visible print date and the rating’s effective date is not shown. USGA course-rating record

Book and prepare

The course’s Book Now link opens the operator’s Total e Integrated portal. On November 8, 2026, its Crystal Springs-only search showed selectable 18-hole times for November 10; the 12:24 p.m. option opened a Crystal Springs booking form with an 18 Holes selection. Checkout was not tested. The rates page lists 2026 walking rates and cart fees; live availability and price may differ. The practice-facilities page describes a 20-stall driving range, two putting greens and chipping areas, with a one-hour limit per range stall. Call (650) 342-4188 or use the contact page for arrival details at 6650 Golf Course Drive.

Photo and film context

The reservoir aerial used as the cover was photographed April 25, 2019, before the January 2022 bunker project; its caption identifies it as archival rather than a view of today’s bunker condition. Three gallery views by Keegan Marlatt were published with an October 3, 2026 review; their camera capture dates and current turf condition are unverified. The linked Golf Parfection 18-hole course vlog was published April 24, 2023; its filming date is unconfirmed.
