I had booked a tee time through TeeOff at Wente Vinyards, good thing I looked at the reservation before driving out. I would not have selected Bay View, I do not like the cart monitoring policy they have; the carts stop in the middle of the fairways as restricted areas -- it's ridiculous. Please correct and book a round for me at the course I selected. I tried to call three times on the way to the course: (1) The operator said I did not have an account with TeeOff (2) the next try I was hung up on (3) the very next try I was hung up on. GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!

Please correct.

Los Lagos is a reasonable price. Staff has a great attitude. Course condition is excellent. Players, as with all courses, could show some courtesy and fix their pitch marks; unfortunately a-holes rule on the greens. I fixed three to five pitch marks plus mine on just about every green. Players, stop being such beasts please!

Bay View has their carts way over managed. My cart would routinely stop in the middle of the fairway with an indicator on that I'd gone into an unauthorized area. This course is challenging enough without the frustration of not being able to move the cart. Better to walk this course. I won't be playing there again any time soon. Very bad experience.

Course was beautiful. Money gets spent on maintenance. I had a blast. This course is a real value. I only wish my State would promote courses like this instead of closing them wholesale; but that's mismanaged California I guess. Hat's off to NC and Monroe Country Club!

Great value, friendly staff and surprisingly really well groomed greens! It was a perfect October Golf day in Northern California, no wind, lazy sun and mid day golf with a well spaced flight of players. I had a great time, shot a respectable 86 from the blues (please, there are no mulligans in golf, nor do-overs for missed putts). I even kept the language down despite blatant robberies that cost me more than my share of three putts. Did I say that the greens were in really good shape? They were and legitimately challenging.

The winds was whipping and my first 18 was a solid 100 plus -- couldn't get the driver to go anywhere but into the weeds. Out of a desire for self justification -- usually a character defect that leads to no good thing -- I decided to pay for a replay. The second 18 was magnificent for this golfer, an 87 (2 lost balls, in the sand 5 times#. Every green was a two putt save only 2 three puts. I landed in a green side sand trap, after only one of two lost ball drops, and then pitched it out directly into the cup #nothing but net!) for a par save 5. Whahoo, "ride'em cowboy" as Roddy might say.

So, how is this a review of the course? Any golfer will tell you that a great round makes the course somehow beautiful. The course "was in great shape". Hey, I stayed there for 36 holes, didn't I? The staff was very courteous. The maintenance guy even gave me a fresh soapy bucket to clean off my clubs when I returned the cart.

An 87 for me? Unheard of. Never happens! I really enjoyed Roddy Ranch. Fun!

For the money the greens could have been watered. Other than that, beautiful courses with magnificent trees and ocean views.
