SubPar (new location construction 2022) – Alameda, CA

Visited on July 9, 2022

Words by the Pink Putter

Back in the fall of 2015, we took a Bay area trip to visit my sister for Thanksgiving. She joined us for an awesome round at the original SubPar in Alameda. Unfortunately, that location closed in in fall of 2018 and we were sad to hear the news because it was such a fun and unique course.

Fast forward to July 2022, when we took another long holiday weekend trip out to San Francisco, this time to visit my sister for the 4th of July. We had heard that SubPar was opening an Alameda course back up at a new location just down the road from its original space. We reached out to creator/owner Mike and Marketing Director John and they invited us over for a special sneak peek tour of the build in progress. We even got to test play some of the holes!

Now, as of December 2022, the course is totally open and fully playable. We can’t wait to get back to see and play it in its finished state! If you’re in the Bay area, we HIGHLY recommend you check out the new SubPar (as well as their 2nd location in Ghirardelli Square)
