This course is about a 2 hour drive from Santa Rosa so not easy to get to, but worth the ride once or twice a year. Especially when they have a discounted rate in place which they did yesterday as they were just getting started again with GolfNow. Later in the year the rates will be much higher once they get people coming again. Also right now they can only have Sonoma County residents even though the course is less than half a mile from Gualala in Mendocino County.

This was one of those days at the coast, shirt sleeve weather and no wind to speak of. Greens had been punched and sanded a few days ago so they were a little slow but seemed to roll true. The punched holes were a small diameter.

Course was in good condition and the greens were very fast. Pace of play started off slow but then the marshall came along and got the group in front of us to speed up. They were playing for money and taking forever to putt. The starting time was 12:45 pm so we just barely finished before it was too dark to see. We played the north course and it is maintained to a little higher standard than the south course.

Course is usually in great shape, but today it needed to be mowed, maybe the mower had broken down as one of them was just parked out of the side of the cart path.

This course has lots of elevation changes and different types of holes, which makes it fun to play. We walked and it took about 4 hours and 10 minutes to play. Lots of slope changes on some of the holes especially the back 9.

Only 18 hole course in Marin County that is affordable and available for everyone to play. Course is fun to play with lots of different types of holes. Somewhat hard to walk if your are not used to walking.

Weather was cool and windy but the course was in great shape, greens were hard to judge the speed, seemed to be very variable. The wind made some holes very hard but that adds to the challenges on the course.

Hidden Valley has several challenging holes, in addition to some holes that are somewhat easy. They make good use of the terrain and have several holes that have elevation changes in addition to creeks on some holes. Good course to play before the hot summer weather sets in.

Course fairways are in good shape but the rough still needs mowing in a lot of places. This is because it is still wet in a lot of these areas. Greens are in good shape and fast like normal. Course was cart path only today because there is still some wet area.

Ground was wet since it just rained the day before, but no standing water. Grass was wet so if your game relies on a roll there was not much of that today. Still was a enjoyable round.

Course was wet in places but when walking the course it didn't make a lot of difference. Balls could roll some on the fairway, but if the shot was high and dropping it could plug in the rough and be hard to find. With the next storm coming in it will probably be cart path only for a week or more.

Course was cart path only but we always walk this course. It has lots of ups and down which makes it a challenge but fun to play. It rained two days before we played but course was in good shape considering the recent rain.

the front 9 seems easier than the back although it has some challenging holes. The back 9 has many more places to find trouble and takes more concentration to get a good score on the back 9. Still fun to play just challenging. Only get here a couple of times a year since it is a long drive.

This course is in a very warm area in the summer but the course was in great shape and most of the grass was green and looking good. Front 9 is mostly flat but the back 9 has lots of slope and requires planning on most holes to have a chance to get on in regulation.

this is the lessor course at Foxtail but still has enough length and trees on the edges of the fairways to make it a little challenging. I have played this course many times in the past years and always had a enjoyable round.

The course is mostly flat but has quite a few holes that have a left turn on the fairway which can make it a little harder if you are a person who has trouble with slicing. Great way to spend a day walking a course when the weather is a perfect fall day.

Course has holes with little or no elevation changes and holes with lots of elevation changes so you get to use almost every club in your bag. Course is laid out well for golfers of different abilities.

The South course at Foxtail is not their premier course but is still maintained and is generally in good shape. The traps need more sand but the rest of the course was in good shape. The course is harder than it looks and is a good test of your skills.
