Are you presently in the SF Bay Area? What brings you here?

I just moved here (Palo Alto) to start a job. It's nice to hear there's another RDGC Struie member in the area -- where is "here" for you?
I'm trying to play a few of the local courses before I start work next week. Do you have any suggestions?

Welcome to the land of year-round golf, reasonable temperatures, unaffordable housing and Google-aires ...
Metropolitan near the Oakland Airport and Monarch Bay, just south of the Oakland Airport in San Leandro are both better than PA Muni from a GCA view (I grew up on PA Muni ... ).
Shoreline in Mountain View is fair and I would avoid Skywest in Hayward ... both PA Muni and Skywest will semi-flood during a heavy rain in the winter as they are almost below sea level.
And with these Bayland courses, a brisk breeezeis usually a factor ... amazingly enough, each of these courses is near an airport ;)
