Bidwell Park Golf Course

Nice course, but bring a kidney belt if your driving a cart. Not much for cart paths, the wildlife is cool, but hurting the course

This is a course that is near and dear to my heart, I worked here for 3 years in college in the late 80's. You would be hard pressed to find a nicer setting for a golf course in Bidwell Park alongside Big Chico Creeek. Course has some quirk due to having to be rerouted in the 90's for safety issues so there are some awkward tee shots and approaches. Usually in good shape nice terrain movement amongst old valley oaks, olive and fir trees. My only complaint (which appears they are addressing a couple holes at a time) is the shrinking greens being encroached on by the the bermda grass. Some of the already small greens have lost a lot of pin positions and square footage ( 1,2,8, 11, 13, & 18) the most eggregious would be 14 an hour glass green that is wasp waist skinny in the middle now and far right pins are almost unfair anymore. It's too bad as that was one of the better holes for years the course is much better with bigger greens. when I was there they were redoing 6 and 12 so hopefully the plan is to address the others as well. Overall a good mix of doglegs and straight holes with good par 3 variety, some very coold green settings and not a long course very walkable. This is a muni so it gets a lot of play so some dormant fairways and hit and miss conditioning is to be expected but it really is a cool setting and a imperfect but fun course. I dont' think you will be disapointed if you play here.

The golf course was fine, but this app sucks. I booked for 4 players and one was not able to make it. Because I booked using this app I was not able to get money back. I paid for 2 players and a cart. I walked the course. Had I booked through a different app I would not have been charged. APP SUCKS!

Great course my only complaint was other golfers that took forever to play and would not let me play through as a single.

Play here a couple of times a month. It's an old course but they're keeping it in great shape. Your greens are super right now. Fairways are looking good. The toughest part about this course is avoiding the trees, most Fairways have them.
