painfully slow and unorganized
Totally mismanaged tee times. They put a 11 person scramble at one tee time in the middle of the day between other tee times on a weekend.. Groups had to ply through the scramble and it caused a major backup. No Marshall to speed up slow groups. Stacked up three groups deep on the tee boxes. Scrambles supposed to be separate tee times. This is a mismanaged golf course.
Nice greens and helpful staff
The course is looking better including the greens. Pace was better. Staff was helpful and nice. Cole is great.

Wow, our twosome teed off around 1230 and finished at 4pm. This was the fastest paced round we ever played at Bidwell. The course was in really good condition except the tee boxes needed a little work. Hopefully in the future, all rounds will be played in less than four hours.
Cole was great
Cole checked us in and was very nice. Slow play on the front 9 and better on the back.
Disappointed with my home course
Bidwell has always been a challenging course but the conditions of the course itself was not the reason for it being tough. It was the layout which is how a course should be. Nowadays the condition of the course makes me think twice about playing here. Rock hard fairways, unkept tee boxes, and stupid pin locations make this beautiful course Uber frustrating. Add to that a cranky staff and a lack of management of rate of play and you have a recipe for disaster. $60 to play here seems like a rip off compared to $60 at other places. Bidwell management needs to be better.
Terribly slow play and no Marshall help
Terribly slow play and no Marshall help. Had a group in front of us for 9 holes that would sit on the tee box and not hit until the group in front was by or on the green. Not worth the money for a frustrating slow round. Don't expect a warm reception in the pro shop either. Customer service is not their Forte. They act like they just don't care.
The course has no driving range. Possibly because it is too hot out there. I cant imagine playing this course in the middle of summer.
Great Staff!
My groomsmen’s and I went to play, had a great time and we were all impressed with the staff our first time playing there. Course was in decent shape, and the greens were well done. Very excited to come back and play!
Slow play and no Marshall
Played behind 2 groups with little children playing. It was going to be a 5 hour round and I quit. No Marshall out there keeping track of things and moving things along. Better off going to Rolling hills and paying about the same price for a much better course.
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.
