Aeration

When I booked my tee time on GolfNow and paid the ‘Hot Deal’ price, I thought I would be getting the best deal possible. However, the course price was much cheaper. Even more, GofNow made no mention that the greens had just been aerated. This surprise spoiled my birthday golf outing with my foursome. I was absolutely disgusted when I found out. There was so much sand on the greens that it was impossible to putt. We were the only people on the course. I want a refund as this should have been disclosed to me at the time of my booking!

Hello millerm77, thank you for taking the time to write a review of our course. We recommend contacting GolfNow regarding a refund of your Hot Deal tee time. We also appreciate your feedback on the conditions of the course and we are sorry to hear that you were overcharged. Thank you for visiting Blue Rock Springs Golf Club and we hope to see you again once the course heals.

7-Hour Round - Nightmare

I went to play Blue Rock GC in Vallejo, CA this past weekend. As I went to check in I was met by a very busy clerk behind the counter. His tone and deportment was curt and direct. I wanted to check in a little early, get a cart, and head over to the range to hit a small bucket of balls. He did not have any carts available for me. Since the driving range is too far away to walk to I was left to put on a small putting green near the pro shop. The clerk said he would notify me over the intercom when a cart was available. However, he never notified me and as I got within 15 min of my tee time I made my way back to the pro shop. I asked him if he had a cart available for me since my tee time was in 15 min. He immediately spotted a cart that had just been returned by a patron and told me to take that cart. The cart was littered with cigarette butts, garbage and the seats were dirty from spilt beer. I ended up going to the restroom to wet a towel to wipe off the seat so I could sit down. More fun began as I began my round. We had players in front of us who were throwing down extra balls and doing things like going to the next tee box to tee off and then returning the the previous green to finish holing out. No marshalls were available to get this slow play group in front of us moving. The course phone number was left unanswered. As a result, our round was one of the most painful rounds I have played in a very long time. It took 7 hours to complete! On top of that, I counted two water jugs and one weak water fountain available on the course and No drink cart available. The sand traps had zero sand in them w/only hard pan clay dirt to hit off of. I honestly could not recommend this course to anyone.

Diamond in the Rough!

This is a course that is out in the middle of a small town, Brooks, CA. It is associated with the Casino, Cache Creek. It was worth the hour drive as we experienced top notch golf from Troon Management. From the range to the chipping green, to the course, our experience was one to remember. We finished our golf and went over to the casino to enjoy dinner a watch the Mayweather and Paqcuio boxing match (free). I highly recommend this course to anyone who loves the game of golf!

Flinstone Carts

We had to push our cart for the last 5 holes. We finally found someone to call it in to the clubhouse with their GPS/Computer system. They asked three times if we really needed another cart. They finally brought someone out with one cart to pull us back on the 18th hole.

Absolute Gem of a Course!

This was such a treat to play here. I can't believe that I have never played here in the past. The course is very majestic and challenging. Even more challenging if you play from the tips. All staff were friendly except for one individual, the Marshal. The Marshal came around several times with a grumpy attitude telling us to hurry up. However, we were waiting on groups ahead of us on every tee box. It wasn't like we were new to the game....all of us were single digit handicapers. We tired to explain, but he was rude and didn't want to hear us. He needs a lesson in customs, courtesies, and respect on how to treat your customers. Other than that, the course was fantastic!

Winter Rot

The course was in terrible shape! The greens were recently punched and sanded. I was upset that information was not shared before playing. The fairways had very little grass to hit from. The bunkers were falling apart and had no sand in them.

Shaggy

- Greens were shaggy and extremely slow
- Fairways were shaggy and full of white flowers - hard to find your ball.
- Marshall was arrogant and not nice
- Snack shack lady had to ask me 4 times what my order was because she was too busy texting her friends
- Cart path only and the fairways were dry - not necessary.
- Cart path only made for a painfully slow day of golf
