It is with heavy heart that I write, but as of this review Franklin Canyon will be closing with the last date to play on May 29. While the course can torment thos who struggle to find the fairway it's a great course and you should play it one last time

Love this course, probably the best public layout in contra Costa.. it's been improving over the last few years. Green complexes are great and they have them firm and fast. Fairways are healing but have grass. Bunkers are incredibly expensive to repair and maintain (for hear probably 2 million to install proper underdrains and replenish sand and around hundred thousand per year.) Pace of play can be unbearable (low rates no courses nearby so get quite a few weekend hackers). All in all go early worth your time especially if you get hot deal or golf now rate

Play here quite regularly. I would argue that for a lot of golfers this course is challenging do to the wind and elevated greens. Greens here are some of the best kept by the way. Great price and good and bad (no more covid golfers) good cause place of play was under 4 hours bad just cause this course is a great muni tract that should be played by all. Come on through you won't be disappointed. Fyi fantastic course to walk and not ride.

First time here and I really enjoyed the layout. Thought it was a great looking design with good views. classic blind shots a course you have to play a few times to know where to go. Mother's day was good time to play and so pace play was good as no one was there. I have heard it does get busy and the local members I guess sort jump on wherever. I would recommend you give it a try I will be back to try the east soon.

Have played the bridges quite a few times over the last couple of years and glad to see it is doing better. Refused to come out here last year once their boxes were infected and they were still charging full price. The boxes have been repaired and the greens finally seem a little thicker (used to be quite thin and would almost rip off the ground). Love the course and love the challenge. I would suggest that they start letting some of the rough go to preserve water to combat the drought.

First time playing the east course. Quite enjoyable with great views and challenging greens depending on pin placement. Lots of elevation changes that take a few rounds to understand how much it truly changes. The holes may be short but the wind does not leave them unguarded. Great course and driving range, will return.

Love playing eagle Vines one of my favorite courses. Was in great shape Greens were good fairways were good bunkers were good. Found a good deal on a Friday and was worth it can't wait to go back

Love the course layout. Not the longest course but elevated greens well placed bunkers and water hazards makes for an interesting challenge. Greens and green side bunkers are amazing. Fairways are a little firm do to the lack of rain but I m hopeful my may the fairways will lush. Only downside is more of a senior citizen course and if you get behind some you are looking at 4.5 hours+

Really good course great challenge water and most holes narrow fairways with trees had been about 2 years since I last played here. Probably will be making my way out there shortly. Good test of your golf game good conditions was a pleasant surprise. I take this over Poppy ridge any day.

It's been a long time coming but they finally fixed the traps. Greens were good. Fairways watered where they need to be. Was a little weird that you aren't allowed to check in until 5 minutes before tee time. Otherwise smooth round and always a good challenge.

I played a lot of courses in the day and this course is quite fun. Requires accurate shots lots of water trees elevated greens. Greens were quite challenging I'd say they were about a 10 on the stem but you had to find the middle anything on the edge would roll off. Every tra p had sand. The only knock was that it's winter golf and they're letting the fairways go which is fine but I imagine if they re seed and make the course cart path only for a while this place would be a gem.

Bayonet is one of my favorite Monterey peninsula courses. Narrow fairways with firm greens and a pace to match. Greens weren't quite as fast as usual probably around a 9 vs normally 11/12. The marshall was friendly and tried to keep pace of play up. He broke the group in front of us up as they fell 3 holes behind and after that it was smoother sailing. Always enjoy the course and will be back soon

Love this track even as much as the bridges next door. Sure no range but there is a net to get lose and if you truly need range drive 4 minutes to the bridges up the road and swing on back. Classic course with blind shots, narrow fairways, raised greens, and undulations. The course is in the process of fixing a few bunkers and once those are in, the course will be perfect. Until then play the bunkers like any course during these times..... ground under repair.

Course was in great shape. Just like every other course they had covid features applied. This did not detract from how great this course played. 15 minute intervals made for relatively smooth round (backed up on the last 4) but only 4.10 hours so can't complain.

Playing on MLK day was a slow fast play. Greens in great shape and sand in traps. Dry winter allows for carts on all holes

Booked a tee off tee time for 10:40 because it rained early of that day nobody was out in front of us ended up playing in 3 hours Greens were great fairways were great The rain helped the sand traps all in all love the course was beautiful with the fresh rain and clouds highly suggest people play this course

5.5 hours and no where to go. Creek and hills course no Marshalls behind a 5 some hacking their way across the course. Greens were good. Winter fairways. Love the course layout actually one of the best in the area. Wish they had a better greens keeper who could manage the course and optimize water usage.

Booked an early tee time the day of Thanksgiving and I slow cooked for 5 hours because the pace of play was so bad. Understand everyone and their grandma come out for the holidays but it sure does ruin a round. Either way the greens keeper was mad to work on Thanksgiving and placed just about every pin on a ridge and cut the greens at a 10-11. Really fun but incredibly comical and likely added to the long round. A few times if you putted below the hole you could role back 30 feet. Either way I love hiddenbrooke and I would say it currently is tops for best winter condition.

Love the course but they needed Marshalls out there when I last played. So many hackers spending so much time chasing golf balls 5 hour around just doesn't make for an enjoyable day. That said the course was in great shape Greens were good traps were good fairways were good always love this place.

Great course, huge practice facility, fun times. Not the easiest course late in the day as the wind picks up makes for a true links course. 4:30 hour round. Not terrible but when racing against the sun wish people picked up the pace. Will be back. It's a mature version of corica south.
