typical muni

Pretty flat layout, some very short par 4s. Fairway and green conditions are not very good. I did get two birdies, so I guess I shouldn't complain too much. :)

Play on Holidays

A must play on Holidays. Nobody out there
You have the course to yourself. Redwood Canyon is working very hard making great improvements. 18th hole length is extended.
Always a fun place to play. Do not pass this course up.

Greens

The majority of the greens were horrible .. Especially with the new green at #17 ... It doesn't make sense why this new green is bad ...

Under construction

The back 9 is under construction, there were a bunch of workers in the fairways and the 17th was completely closed.

The front nine is flooded in several holes, even though we haven’t gotten rain in months.

Course Improved

Regardless of improvements and before we get into it. Canyon is a fun place to spend the day. Putting and driving range are a solid warm up before you play a round. Hang out an have drink later to reflect on the fun you had.
Improvements made. Lengthened par 3 hole 5. Lengthened par 5 hole 18.
Come out and give this place a play. Expect solitude with nature. Your cell phone won’t work. So put it away and embrace nature.

Easy yet Challenging

The course layout is well thought out. If you can hit straight is can be a pretty easy round. But don't miss the fairways or you will be losing your ball.

Front nine is in great shape. Back nine is undergoing repair with new irrigation being added so it is not in the best of shape. Should be, once the work is completed. and proper irrigation can be done..

Cart paths are mostly dirt and gravel. It would be great if they were paved, but failing that at leaset the should be smoothed with new gravel laid down

Great experience

The staff was kind and prompt. The pace of play wasn't that great, but that was because we had a group of 5 in front of us that were playing whack-a-mole. Not too much the Course Marshall can do about that. The course was a little dry compared to other courses, but this is NorCal, soooo...yeah!! Overall, I'd recommend this course to others.
