Redwood Canyon Golf Course

Course needs lots of help

It was a Sunday so you expect "weekend" golfers but there were a lot of knuckleheads. Also when you check in and ask for your cart but are told many are inoperable so you need to wait. Also golf shop also very underwhelming. Almost no golf items.
As for the course it was either bare earth or wet spots to avoid.
Then there were the kids driving around the parking lot trying to play tag.
Disappointing.

Poor scheduling tee times

The North course at alameda is the only 18 hole course open currently until the south course reopens so way too many people scheduled on the one course. Also tournaments disrupt tee times as very seldom on time.

The course is in ok shape after being in terrible shape due to neglect.
I would not suggest playing here if you care about pace of play.

Decent conditions but tough lies

The course is in decent shape but in general there just aren't many flat lies on the course. The staff are friendly and good. The greens though are slow but in decent shape.

Good Sunday Round of Golf

Very enjoyable round of golf on a Holiday weekend Sunday. Weather was great (warm but pleasant) and the overall pace of play was good (4 hour round). Even though I have played there before remembering to keep the tee shots away from the meandering creek is imperative. Also keeping shots well placed in the fairway versus hitting a longer tee shot is also important for decent scoring.
