About Metropolitan Golf Links

Metropolitan Golf Links is a public 18-hole course just east of Oakland International Airport, designed by Johnny Miller and Fred Bliss and opened in 2003 on the site of the former Galbraith course. The designers rebuilt the property with two feet of sand and modern turf, which is why Metro has some of the best drainage in the East Bay — it stays playable, fast and firm when wetter courses go cart-path-only.

True to its links inspiration, Metro plays wide open, with large receptive greens, clusters of native grasses and very little water. The real defense is the wind coming in off San Francisco Bay. At roughly 6,959 yards from the tips (par 72) the back tees ask honest questions while six sets of tees keep it friendly for everyone else. There is an all-grass driving range with around 36 stalls, a short-game practice area, a full pro shop and a bar and grill.

It is open 365 days a year, books online through GolfNow, and offers Oakland-resident, senior, junior and twilight discounts that make it one of the better-value full-length rounds in the area. Easy freeway access off Doolittle Drive and dependable year-round conditions make it a reliable everyday course for East Bay golfers.
