Deer Ridge Golf Club
Played On 04/14/2018Too Slow
We play this course often since it is close to home, and the price is right. I know it's usually slow on weekends, but today was ridiculous. They let a five-some play in front of us, not ony were they a five-some, but an extremely poor playing five-some with no sense of pace of play, and they should not have been playing from the blue tees. We watched at least a few of them looking for their ball on the hills sides on almost every hole. No marshalls were found anywhere
Pine Mountain Lake Golf Course
Played On 11/05/2016Awesome Course in Groveland, Ca.
My wife and I played this course on 11/05/16. 9:30 tee time, pace of play was great, finished in 4 1/2 hrs. The course is in excellent shape, from tee to greens. Every hole has some elevation change to it, either up or down, many dog legs left or right. The greens ran true, and were somewhat fast. The weather could not have been better, sunny and warm, mid 70's. Afterwards we enjoyed a light lunch at the 19th Hole Lounge, friendly staff, good selection. I highly recommend playing this course. Cost was $59. each with cart
Shadow Lakes Club
Played On 09/18/2016Pace of play sucked
It took us 3 hours to play 9 holes, waited on every hole. The course was in decent shape, greens were in good condition, fairways pretty good, bunkers sucked
They really need to do something about the pace of play
Deer Ridge Golf Club
Played On 08/20/2016Love this course
One of the best courses in Brentwood. Good price, average pace of play. The course is ivery good condition, a few scruffy spots, and the greenside bunkers could use some real sand, otherwise it's a nice layout.A few holes with some elevation changes. Try it out, I don't think you will be disappointed
Merlot/Chardonnay at Poppy Ridge Golf Course
Played On 08/16/2016Great Course
Always one of my favorite course in the Tri Valley area besides The Course at Wente Vineyards
Paradise Valley Golf Course
Played On 03/26/2016Best course in Fairfield
Played this course on Saturday, it was very busy since it was Easter weekend, but I must say the pace of play was outstanding, we never waited on a hole to tee off. Plus the group behind us was a hole back. We played with two locals who helped us figure out the course. It was in great condition, GPS helped a lot. Greens putted true and fast, fairways were tight. My only complaint would be the sand, or is it fine dirt? It would be great if they would put some of that nice white sand in the bunkers. Called an order in on #9, picked up the food quickly. The burger and house made chips were excellent. I will be back to play this course again!!!!
Canyon Lakes Golf Course & Brewery
Played On 02/20/2016Getting Better
The course is under new management, so it is getting better. The staff is friendly and helpful, the course conditions were just OK, I am hoping they improve as new management gets going. FYI, I guess they are redoing all of the bunkers, most were Ground under repair with virtually no sand in them. Pace of play was slow, they were 4 twosomes in front of us. They should really look at combining groups
Work is still being done in the Pro Shop, and Restaurant. I hear good things are coming if you are a beer person
Stay tuned
Monarch Beach Golf Links
Played On 12/30/2015Great Layout
I loved this course although it might have something to do with the 77 I shot as an 18 handicap. This course is tough with a lot of bunkers and some water in play. The fairways were a bit dried out on most holes due to our drought, but the greens and rough were in excellent shape. I got a good deal on golfnow for $160.00, and while that is expensive, I think it was worth it, due to the location, staff, and great layout. The greens ran true, and fast. Excellent staff that treated you like a private member. Loved it
Make sure and pay attention to your touch screen GPS on the carts, it will give you layup yardages when you touch the spot you need to layup to
Black Gold Golf Club
Played On 12/29/2015A Great Course
Played it for the first time. What a great course, conditions were very good, greens rolled fast and true. Very tough to read the greens, remember everything breaks west, no matter what you see. Seriously. It is important to hit your approach shot in the right place on the green. I will play this course again. Lots of challenging fun
The Bridges Golf Club
Played On 12/23/2015Very tough course
This course is very tough, if you can't hit it straight or exactly where you want it, you are in for a long day. I am an 18 handicap so I don't usually like this course, but today my game was on. 43 front, 48 back.
Most holes have a long carry to get to the fairways, the course plays like a links course, target golf, pick a spot and hit it there. Whoever set the pin positions must have been mad at somebody, most were tucked into the corners of greens, or perched on a hump you couldn't get your ball close to. The course is in great shape. I recommend it for anyone wanting a tough test of golf. And to make the day even more special Jerry Rice was playing in the group behnd us. OF course he walked the course, carrying his bag. Tough course to walk
Crystal Springs Golf Course
Played On 10/10/2015Nice course
Great course that is a little dried out to to our weather. They do a job keeping it green. Some fun holes, nice elevation changes and great views. Play was slow due to a morning fog delay. I will play it again though
Black Horse at Bayonet/Black Horse Golf Course
Played On 06/14/2015Best Deal in Monterey
Great course, great staff
Always love playing this course, you see Monterey Bay off in the distance
It is a tough course, many unven lies, plenty of bunkers, and you will never have a flat, straight putt
I still love either course
Eagle Vines Golf Club
Played On 03/21/2015Great Course
Always enjoy Eagle Vines, challenging but fair
Pace of play was good, waited very little on some holes
condition of the course is great
greens were fast
they have a great clubhouse for food and drink afterwards
Cinnabar Hills Golf Club - Lake/Canyon
Played On 09/27/2014Excellent Course
I have always loved this course, but it's not cheap
Very challenging, a lot of places to get in trouble, if you are driving your ball straight the day you play then you should do well. Some great down hill holes, beautiful views, the clubhouse is great. Fantastic place to have a glass of beer or wine and something to snack on with the boys
The Course at Wente Vineyards
Played On 09/06/2014Best course in the Tri Valley
By far the best course in the Tri Valley Area, tough but fair is what I like to tell friends, 1st. hole is your best chance for a birdie so take advantage of it. Great views, free range balls, every hole gives you something to think about in terms of which shot to play. THe pace of play is usually good, they don't stack people up too tight. A lot of people think this course is private, but it's public, and you can usually find some kind of deal on golfnow, or at Costco. The food is great, and the Grille after your round is a great place to enjoy a beer or glass of wine overlooking the 18th. green 5 stars for this course
Tilden Park Golf Course
Played On 08/31/2014Great course, but slow play
My first time playing this course and I loved it. The weather was perfect, beautiful course , a lot of uphill and down hills shots. Fairways can seem narrow if you don't hit it straight. Greens were in great shape. Will play it again for sure
Callippe Preserve Golf Course
Played On 07/25/2014Excellent as always
Only played here a few times, it's always good except they had two temporary greens
The weather was extremely hot 98+
Rancho Solano Golf Course
Played On 11/09/2013Great course, Great Deal
Love Rancho Solano, the staff is very friendly, the course is in great shape, we finished in less than 4 1/2 hours on a Saturday, can't beat that.
Boundary Oak Golf Course
Played On 07/22/2013Great local course
The course was in very good shape, we played on Monday so the pace of play was great, 4 hrs. Some challenging long holes from the blue tees. A great Walnut Creek muni course.
Thank you for your review and your understanding of our continued work. We now staff marshalls and starters on the weekend and are increasing the pace of play. We hope to see you back to watch our progress each week!
