Great value

Accuracy off the tee is rewarded. Hitting into the trees forces you to scramble to get up and down. Greens are in great shape. Expect >4hr rounds. No marshalls enforcing keeping pace. New clubhouse is still under construction and refreshments and food is very limited, which is somewhat disappointing given there is no cart offering drinks and food. However, would play this track again because rates offer high value..

Buyer beware

We booked a foursome with a special rate. $188 for all 4 including cart. While 2 people were charged the correct rate, my husband’s friend who paid for my husband’s birthday, was charged $138 for 2 people! The staff completely ignored the online booked rate and waaaaay overcharged us. This has happened before at Valley of the Moon. You really have to hold the staff accountable to the rate you booked online.

pace of play is horrific, but like the actual course

I keep trying to play at Bennett Valley, hoping for a good round. The conditions are good, I like the course layout, but the pace of play is just horrible.

Either too many people or too many closely spaced together.

There is no marshall to move slower groups along, and this time was no exception - two groups in front of us was at least two holes behind, which just backed up all the groups behind them.

This group did NOT play the back 9, so the front took us 3 hours, the back 1.5. Overall, not terrible (still 4.5 hours is a long round), but 3 hours for 9 holes is not acceptable.

Bennett Valley June 2022

Most of the course is in good shape, but the sand needs work. It was very hard.

Awesome improvements all around!

The course looks awesome! It felt like I was playing a Lake Tahoe course. Very much improved since we played it probably over a year ago. A must play course in Santa Rosa California.

Always a great course

We play Bennett Valley often. It’s a beautiful corse and always fun to play. Bob and his staff are always friendly. The only thing missing is the restaurant. It was always a stop for us after playing a round. The food and service (especially their chicken wings) we’re always great.
