Cinnabar Hills Golf Club - Mountain/Lake

Been here 20x, never gotten to play the Lakes. Amazing stat, considering it’s also over a 20 year period…it just turned 25?

When playing (a few times a week and well), course is like any other, and gettable. As a +2 who HAS played with LPGA pros, this course has it all. My feeling is that I still may lose to a TOUR LGPA member easily…

When having had a time off playing like a month or two or more, this place will eat you back up.

Having played only 18 of the 27, 180 holes gives me a good idea…

Play well. You won’t score otherwise.

Another very enjoyable day at Cinnabar, course in a good state overall, a few tees were a little worn and not in super condition but still very useable. Played Mountain and Lake which I’d give an 8 and 7 out of 10 respectively for quality and enjoyment, Canyon is superior to both of these 9s in my opinion. Rough was pretty this so relatively easy to find a ball, the fairways were very good and the greens also. I think I’d rate the course as 8-9 out of 10, the tee variety makes it challenging for anyone, there are some very pretty and interesting holes, the course felt slightly well played but it is popular from dawn to dusk for good reason so the greens staff do an excellent job to keep it such fine fettle. I’ll be back for more, thanks.

The course was in good condition and the pace of play was great. We finished in 4 hours and 20 minutes. I also enjoy playing the Lake and Mountain combination.

Enjoyed the round. Everything is good, except for the recently aerified greens, but will come back again.

Excellent golf club. The course was in great shape other than the greens which were recently aerated. A necessary evil if you’re going to enjoy beautiful green the rest of the year, so no complaints here. The staff is top notch and goes out of their way to make sure your round is enjoyable. I will be back often when in the area.

Had to leave after 10 holes due to the backlog of golfers waiting to tee off
Two many groups of 2 allowed
I have played here several times and I like the course but after yesterday I may not play here again

I do not recommend this course. The reviews are very positive and I don’t know why. This course has a really silly design. I should have known when I asked the starter if he played the course much and he said no never. I wouldn’t either if I worked there. I will probably never go back. Staff is friendly, course is manicured well but the course layout is a total joke. Golf options in San Jose are really bad which is why I’m guessing this place gets good reviews but avoid San Jose all together and play in Monterey or the East Bay or South Bay for some good courses.

I've played this course a few times. All around it is one of the best bang for your buck courses out there. It is a fun layout and very well maintained. Carts are great and overall the pace was solid.

Staff is kind of rude. Course was relatively empty and they refused to let us go out earlier without paying more because we had a prepaid reservation. Pretty much the only course I go to where they do this. Only other downside is it is a bit out there if you don't live in south san jose or morgan hill.

If you are looking for a solid round round at a nice course without breaking the bank this is your best bet in the area.

Challenging course. Greens are fast and undulating. Near perfect conditions. Do not play here unless you are a strong intermediate as there are many good players here who set a quick pace of play.

Best course layout. a staff who is always unfriendly.
