Designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. Shoreline is a level course with narrow fairways, large greens, and plenty of sand. Sixteen acres of water come into play on several holes. To score well, spend some time on the putting surface to get a feel for the greens - they can be fast. Shoreline offers a separate scorecard for low-index players. From San Jose (about 13 miles northwest to the course): Take US 101 north to Mountain View and exit at Shoreline Boulevard. Drive northeast on Shoreline Boulevard, through the park entry gate. Go two miles to the parking lot.
