Poppy Ridge Golf Course

Three nines rotate here, giving you 27 holes to mix and match across the Livermore Valley floor. Flat terrain makes for easy striding, and the pace moves well enough that you won't lose your rhythm waiting on every tee. Public golf in the East Bay that actually lets you walk without a fight. Restaurant on site handles post-round hunger. The wine country setting adds atmosphere without the Napa price tag. Worth the drive from the city when you want to stretch your legs on something more interesting than a muni.
