good course.
Drainage after rainy days was good on most holes but was cart path only on whole course. Not necessary. Greens were fast despite rain 2 days before.
Good Greens, slow play, only public 18 hole course in town
Bidwell's greens are great right now. They have really improved. The pace of play was very slow due to it being the only public18 hole course in town. No competition, so it seems that there is no incentive for good customer service. I wish that the two private courses in town were more affordable. This would create more competition and more players would join.
slow pace
Seems dry enough to mow but it has not been mowed since rains stopped 3 weeks ago.
Pace was ridiculously slow with many walkers. no marshalls, either.
good course.
Good condition following a few days of rain. Only 2 holes needed to be cart path only but all holes were cpo. I saw no puddles except for spots along the cart path. Greens were rolling almost as well as when dry. No marshalls were seen.
The good and bad
Love this local course, don’t like the fact that cart paths are almost nonexistent and it’s a pretty rough ride to get around the course
Great track
Fun course to play in Chico. Staff was great.
Course offers a variety of holes and some challenging multi-tiered greens.
Way to slow
They have to many rookies playing in one group & on top of it they are acting like they are playing in a PGA tournament. They hgot to hit the ball & goes 10 ft. It was the worst experience since I been golfing. We paid for 18 & left after 9 holes due to how slow the play is. I'm goid waiting 20 min to hit my next shot. The course itself is good. They really need a Marshall on this course to speed tup these horrible players.
Fast greens!
Course was in good condition, as noted, greens are slick! Made a prior tee time for group of 3 on Golf Now app for $33 per person and added a player after the initial booking to make a foursome. When our added player checked in they charged him $63 for 18 holes to join our group. Got out on the course, hot and windy, no water on the course and we all got very dehydrated. Destination pricing for a community course? Not what we expected. Be careful when adding players using the GN app at this venue.
Good Course
Fun time out on Bidwell Golf Course : ) thankful for the chance to be out on a great course with my dad. We were paired together with another two-some, and had a golly good time. The greens were fast, and a few of the holes’ greens were virtually unnameable unless one was coming from a particular direction. Other than the greens, great course!
Greens and staff are great
The greens are the best I have ever seen at Bidwell. Nick and the staff were very helpful. Very happy with tge round.
good course.
good course. slow play but conditions were good after rainy days.
Not a friendly front desk person
I have played Bidwell for many years. Right now it is not being managed well. When I arrived to check in I said hi and there was no greeting back. Nick was not friendly and made snarkey remarks when I asked questions. When my friend went back in to ask a question, both Nick and Cole ignored him. We didn'tget to too off until15 minutes past our tee time. The pace of play is horrible. There is no marshell moving slow players along. Five and a half hours of slow play on a dog track course. Chico needs another public course.
JAW
Received a good deal on tee-off, for myself and a friend. We were joined by a older gentleman. Course was in pretty good shape with exception of some dead spots in the fairways. Greens were well maintained, a little slow. It would be nice if they put water out on the course to refill bottles. Also, they could have put a note on the 9th hole food ordering sign that the internet/ phone was not working, called over ten times, obviously no answer. Lastly, need more attention to slow play, main reason why my buddies and I will usually not play here.
bumpy greens
Bidwell can be a good course but maintenance is sketchy. Consistency is nowhere to be found. You never know what you're going to get.
I agree with this review. I don't know of any other courses that do not provide water refill stations on the course. Butte County is not stopping it because other courses in the county have them. Pace of play is slow 90% of the time and why I play other courses when there is an option.
