Fun day out

The course was in good shape. Several wet spots but understanding given the recent rain, also the greens were in really good shape. Restaurant experience was also good.

BV April 2023

The greens were in excellent shape, but the fairways and tee boxes were very hard. Very difficult to get a club under the ball. The pace of play was ridiculously slow.

Dry

Santa Rosa had 40 inches of rain this year and the course is bone dry. What is the deal? Also many trees need to be trimmed, tee boxes are small hallways and greens are impossible to hold with dry greens and large tree branches protecting them.

Awesome as always!

The course was beautiful as always, now that they re-opened the restaurant and you can get great meal and a cold beer again it was a great experience!
There aren't any cart people out and about so load up on drinks before you head out

Beautiful soggy course

I would recommend the course after it has a chance to dry out. Greens and bunkers were in good shape, but fairways very soggy. Lost several ball which were hit in fairways.

Play when it’s dry

A great course. Winter play suffers because of the lack of drainage. I have played this course since 1971 and worked as a greens keeper and the shop. It is still the same. ,

Employees

Kept being rushed by many employees to play when we we playing at average pace. We are not the greatest players, but we weren’t that slow. Forced us to basically sit behind a group and skip holes by following through. Only played 1.5 holes because of the rushing. Payed 145 dollars for 3 people to play less than 2 holes and then we are told no refund. Absolutely forcing us off the course. Save your money
