Metropolitan Golf Links is a top-notch golf facility with all the bells and whistles. But the core of what makes Metropolitan Golf Links so popular is the layout of the course, a Johnny Miller and Fred Bliss design just East of Oakland International Airport.

The original Galbraith Golf Course boasted some gentle undulation; Miller and Bliss augmented the site and dramatically improved the drainage by covering the original landscape with two feet of sand then growing the latest turf hybrids. When other nearby courses are overly wet or carts are restricted to the path for weeks, Metropolitan Golf Links is playable—and always fun to play!

Enjoy the challenges of a 72-par course, putting green, and driving range that’s within minutes of Oakland International Airport. After tackling the fairways, take time to relax at the Sweet Spot Café, which offers reasonably priced Southern fare made from scratch.
