Good Value, Interesting Layout

We've been here before, and always have fun. The course crosses the entrance road several times, which always makes for an interesting round. Also, a couple of unique holes - one with the green about 100 feet below the green, and of course, the 18th - a par 6. Overall, fun and challenging for a casual golfer.

The worst golf course

This is the worst golf course I have played. I have played golf for over 50 years and I am a golf professional. I have managed golf courses.
The course and course conditions were poor, although the greens were ok.
the golf shop staff was terrible at check in, unprofessional and they had no control over the first tee. I asked when we could start and if they would announce the order of play. They lied and said yes they would. They never called the order of play. We stood at the starting hole for over one half hour with 4 or five groups who went in front of us. One of the groups was the courses golf instructor conducting a playing lesson at 2:00 pm on a busy Sunday!!
the pace of play was slow with no marshals. We played 6 holes and there were two groups waiting on the 7th tee. We quit and went home.
You shouldn't have this course on your website. It is the worst course I've played. I will never play this course in the future.
I would like to request a refund of our fees, or some credit for another round.

Crews constantly out mowing, repairing fairways, digging drains, weeding and watering.
Just needs 2 more things to make it a premium course!!
Pave Cart Path throughout entire course, a cell tower so phones will work there. entire course is a T-mobile dead zone

Pace of play

I wish there was a rule for people who are walking to have to play after 12 or tee off on 10 and people with carts tee of.on 1. It shouldn’t take 5.5 hrs to play this course.

Great place!

I love this place because it’s tucked away in nature. It doesn’t feel like you are in the Bay Area when you play there and to me that’s a plus. Course layout was fun and was good condition when I was there.

Afternoon round

Course is in fairly good shape except for the excessive potholes everywhere on the unpaved cart paths and some fairways too, a lot more than other courses I have played. There were some random muddy areas also even though it hasn't rained in last 6 weeks.

Awesome Course

The course is super fun. Tee locations are fantastic. Greens running slow. Expect long day if you are not allowed to push past the the slower groups. However excellent course to play. Green All year long!! Even in super wet winter time the course plays great. Come out you must play here a few times a year.

cart path is terrible

this is a fun course located at the bottom of the valley and surrounded by lot of beautiful trees. apparently the course attracts players by its nature but the condition of the course is not well maintained, especially the muddy cart path, which brings not only unpleasant ride experience but also a lot of dust blown up with wind.

Worst course in California

No maintenance at all. Fairway feels like wild area. Greens are even worse. It is better to shut down than keep it open. It is a waste of tax payer money.
