Great course condition!

Course was in great condition!we tee off early and never slowed at all! Greens are in great condition and helped me to score well! Bridge was out so little detour so one par 5 is a par three but overall fun course!

Not playing well now

We are locals and play here pretty regularly, once or twice a month. Up till this last time, the course was playing pretty good, but now it is beaten up. Even though the ground was damp, it was rock solid and made it difficult to hit off of. In addition, the greens played very fast and threw us off from playing there previously. We've really enjoyed playing this course, but the conditions are just bad right now, and until the course conditions are improved, and perhaps that won't be until after the winter rains, we won't be returning.

short course, but the surrounding redwoods add to some great views. narrow fairways offer short game challenges, and at time needle thread drives.

Course is battered from summer play, but the crews keep working on it. Cart paths still dangerous!

The place needs attention

The cart paths are terrible the bridge between holes 10 and11 is being worked on so foot traffic only not carts. The gophers are tearing up the place. Today was windy so redwood needle was covering the greens. Maintenance is not very good. I used to like this place but not anymore

narrow course.

Tiny course, very challenging. Due to compact size, house nearby so somehow you have pressure not hitting the house.

Good expierence

We had a fun day. Like everyone says the fairways are for the most part pretty narrow. During the summer months it’s a good course! I like the warm weather up there and it’s a pretty easy drive from Santa Cruz. The course is short so it’s a good tuneup for me. A driving range would be real nice! Overall I like the course.

Great Course in the Santa Cruz mountains

I love this course, it’s laid back and relaxing. Had a great time with my buddies and the staff is excellent. I’d like the restaurant to open for breakfast but that’s the only thing I would change.

Greens need work

I like this course as I live in the county and it's a fun course to play with its narrow fairways and trees. Overall, the course is in better shape than its been in years. Be great when they finish the work around the 12th hole and you can play it again as a Par 5. When's the ETA for that fix to be done?

My biggest beef with this course is that there are dirt spots on the greens. This is inexcusable. This should be repaired! I can think of a few such as on the 2nd hole and on the 17th. There are others, too. Fix this!

Monday in June

Beautiful day, course in good shape except for shortened par 5 and bridge out between 10 and 11, with no time frame for fix. Greens were firm and tricky. We'll be back!
