I played this course around 2001 at the age of 63. So clearly in 16 years I have lost a step or two. There were 2 negatives, the 90 degree weather and the state of my golf game. Otherwise just a fabulous layout in great condition. I think I made 5 pars, which is OK on a course this challenging. Once the two of us were let through, we had the last 10 holes to ourselves, which was outstanding. Highly Recommend.

This is one of my favorite courses. Last time I played, 6 weeks ago, the pond on on #9 was overflowing, flooding the approach to #9 green, which I parred anyway. That I would book in such conditions shows that I am a Mudder, 78 years old at that!. Yesterday, conditions were way drier and I managed an 80, although playing as a single.
As living just outside the Lake Chabot course in Oakland, I will continue to make the one hour journey to Franklin Canyon as I enjoy it so much.

I have played this course for at least the last 12 years. I travel some 30 miles so I have to get a DEAL. No two holes are alike, I love the variety. Somewhat hilly which is fun if you have a sufficient skill level. It can be windy so beginners beware. Greens in great shape and fairways pretty good also.
