Cinnabar Hills Golf Club - Lake/Canyon
Played On 09/22/2022Quit after 9 - on track for a 5:40 round
Genuinely sad that a course I was so looking forward to playing was disappointing in completely avoidable ways.
Practice range is shutdown 2/days per week until 9:00 for maintenance which make a morning round tough for these old bones. Sad irony was that upon inspection, literally nobody was working on the range.
But the bigger problem was pace-of-play and lack of marshalling. I actually dropped out after 9 holes when we finished 2 hours and 50 minutes after teeing off. Ran into one maintenance worker on the front nine (but no marshall) who said it was backed up for 3 or 4 groups. Asked him to call a marshall but none ever appeared.
At the clubhouse they were gearing up for some sort of corporate event which obviously had all their attention leaving the rest of us to flounder for ourselves.
It had been a decade plus since I last made the trek to Cinnabar. Probably a decade more until I'll regain the desire to play it again.
Eagle Ridge Golf Club
Played On 12/10/2020They're trying - but its just a bad layout
This course has a rough history starting with something like 200 bunkers. Its gone a few renovations and its currently halfway through another trying to make it more playable. I love a challenging course, but there were several holes where I genuinely didn't know where I was supposed to be trying to hit it. Had to tee off with an iron on two of the long par 5's???
Course was in great condition (save the bunker remodel on the back 9) and greens were perfect. Looks like a venue tryng to reinvent itself again - best of luck - I'm rooting for you.

Lake Chabot Golf Course - The 18 Hole Course
Played On 08/28/2020Odd Layout
I can guess that fitting a full par 72 track into this landscape would be challenging, but this course layout wound up be a little dangerous and honestly, a little gimmicky. I love a thinking man's version of golf but this course often had scenarios in which I wasn't sure where I was supposed to hit. Combine that with multiple mid-fairway road crossings and a 600+ yd par 6 18th hole ( on which I got 200+ yards of role? ) and you had a course I endured rather than enjoyed. Additionally, the fog was super-thick and didn't burn off until the 9th hole leaving me genuinely having no idea where I was going for the first 9 holes (2nd hole par 3, my whole 4-some hit what we thought were good shots but as we drove up, realized we were aiming 30 yds to the left of the green). I'll play anywhere once, but that will be the total of the times I'll play this course.
Thank you for your review of our course! Our layout is certainly a little quirky but it gives players unique looks across the course. Our Par 6 Finishing hole is all downhill and does give you a generous roll on your tee sheet if you put it in the right spot. Because of our location in the hills of Oakland, we do get dense fog at times throughout the year but usually peters out mid-morning on these kind of days. If you have any additional comments or concerns, please direct them to the General Manager, Ray Robinson, via ray@lakechabotgolf.com. Thank you again and we hope you will give us another shot to exceed your expectations.
Deep Cliff Golf Course
Played On 06/18/2020Just a fun time out
Got out for the first time in years and had a great time. Course was very short but good for beginners and practice. Condition was good and greens were fair and true. Beyond anything, it was just fun!
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry to see that your overall experience was anything short of 5 stars. We have begun our renovation project to recover the sand traps and we work hard to keep the rest of the course excellent shape. Our maintenance crew is constantly working to improve the conditions every day. We hope you'll bear with us through this transition and give us another try in the near future. Your feedback about confusion during the round is very important to us. We always want to make sure our golfers are clear about their purchase before checking out. We appreciate your feedback on the temp greens we have implemented a warning in the tee time notes when booking online and are striving to make all golfers aware in the shop. Thanks for choosing Eagle Ridge Golf Club.
