Notice to Poplar Creek Golf Course Visitors

Spring Greens Aerification

Our maintenance team will be performing our spring greens aerification on Monday March 30 starting at 2:00 PM and finish on Tuesday March 31. Please anticipate 2 weeks for the greens to fully recover and return to normal playing conditions.

Driving Range Now Open!

The driving range net repairs have been completed and the range is now open. Normal hours of operation will be in effect. Sunrise to sunset Wed-Sun. Range will close at 2:00 PM on Mondays and open at 10:00 AM on Tuesday mornings for maintenance.  

Irrigation Well Drilling Project

The new irrigation well—which will serve as the course’s dedicated water source for irrigation—is progressing on schedule. Construction is largely complete, early water-flow tests look strong, and the old well has been retired.

The remaining steps include electrical hookups and connecting the well to the course’s water system. The project is expected to be finished next spring.

Closure Notice: Restaurant and Banquet Facility at Poplar Creek

The clubhouse is partially open: repairs to the main clubhouse restrooms are complete, and they are now accessible to the public. The restaurant, banquet rooms, and kitchen portion of the clubhouse will remain closed until a new food and beverage operator is selected.

Remediation Work Completed
All remediation and restoration efforts have been successfully completed on the restaurant, banquet rooms and kitchen.

Planning for Future Food & Beverage Services
The City is in the process of seeking a new food and beverage operator for Poplar Creek. Based on the expected selection and build-out timeline, the restaurant and banquet spaces are projected to reopen by fall 2026. This timeline may shift as the process moves forward, and we’ll continue to share updates as the plan unfolds.

Thank you for your patience and ongoing support as we improve the facilities and amenities at Poplar Creek Golf Course. We look forward to sharing more progress with you soon.

If you are interested in providing mobile food service at our facility please reach out to Golf Services Manager, Kevin Kobayashi at [email protected]

Sincerely,
The City of San Mateo Staff
