Greens were punched/sanded about a week ago, medium speed and bumpy compared to normal here. Probably 7-10 days from being smooth and quick again. Fairways/Tees very nice with the Bermuda out in full force with warmer temps. Greenside traps really nice, fairway traps have more rocks than I remember from years ago.

Greens were punched/sanded about a week ago, medium speed and bumpy compared to normal here. Probably 7-10 days from being smooth and quick again. Fairways/Tees very nice with the Bermuda out in full force with warmer temps. Greenside traps really nice, fairway traps have more rocks than I remember from years ago. Fringes mowed down, which is not a good thing on the many holes with false fronts or drop offs from on or coming across greens. But do provide more bump run opportunities when short sided from just off many greens. Many areas of the course have been vericut, which does not affect playability. Rough patchy hit/miss, mowed low. Range, carts, GPS excellent. Restaurant/men's lounge provides decent food in a friendly atmosphere. Recommended overall in spite of the current so-so greens, but play Mountain instead until about June 10th.

Played many rounds on Mountain recently with the Canyon greens recently punched. Course is in very nice shoulder season condition. Greens back to medium fast and smooth. And for the first time in memory, you can stop irons close to their newly made ball mark. Which creates a whole another set of issues after people are used to there being nothing but a dent to maybe fix if you ... » More

Played many rounds on Mountain recently with the Canyon greens recently punched. Course is in very nice shoulder season condition. Greens back to medium fast and smooth. And for the first time in memory, you can stop irons close to their newly made ball mark. Which creates a whole another set of issues after people are used to there being nothing but a dent to maybe fix if you can maybe find it where an iron landed. I have gotten used to playing for roll out, so coming up a club short is the new normal while I ascertain if this is just a few day issue or if that is the way they are now going to play. But I have seen more divot ball marks on greens in the last week than in the last several years here.
Many areas of the course have been vericut, which does not affect playability. And the same issue on the greens is present in the fairways. Balls plugging or barely rolling when you normally get 50 yards of roll creates a different course.
Bermuda coming out well on the Tee's/fairways, very lush. Rough patchy hit/mniss, mowed low. Mowed low around the greens, you can definitely use putter from well off greenws currently. Which when going over large mounds to a firm, quick green is frequently a safer play IMO. Nice range, carts, GPS. Good restaurant onsite. highly recommended.

Played a twilight round last night. Started and 4:30 and finshed at 8:15. $35 w cart and well worth it.

Found the course to be in immaculate condition.

Tee boxes all clean, level and playable.

Played a twilight round last night. Started and 4:30 and finshed at 8:15. $35 w cart and well worth it.

Found the course to be in immaculate condition.

Tee boxes all clean, level and playable.

Fairways are wide and provide lush coverage that give you an excellent lie followed by great roll out. Some of the best fairways I have found since playing here in N CA.

Rough is wicked. Ball settles down in it and not only makes it hard to find but difficult to advance w/o a big powerful swing.

Then add in the water features (plenty and large/small), the vineyards lining many of the fairways (which of course are all OB) + natural OB areas and you can destroy a round real quick on this course.

Greens are large, undulating and protected by deep large bunkers and were rolling at about 12 which added to the "fun". You really needed a high lofted shot when going for the greens, as they were firm and rolled out when the ball landed. And the rough around the greens was deep if you rolled off.

Traps ( I was in one fairway bunker) were all clean and raked and very playable. Even at that time of day.

The layout of the course is terrific. Lots of great elevation changes on the course. Beautiful scenery of the SF Bay, Napa and over to Santa Rosa and beyond.

Number 14 is a beautiful island green with tee boxes of 165 B, 166 Blue, 150 W, 139 G, 108 R high above the hole.

Very good customer service from everyone. Great restaurant. Large putting greens. Nice driving range. Excellent carts. No GPS bring your own you will need it.

A great course if you are ever in the area. And right next door is another great course called Chardonnay.

And just down the road a few miles further is Napa golf course in Kennedy Park.

Great combination of courses available in this area and all of then are under 25 miles for the most part.

And the best part is its not LA traffic to drive you crazy or take an hour to go 20 miles.

If you look at the pics the nines have been reversed since they were taken.

Played this morning on a beautiful day in the Napa Valley. Spectacular sunrise.

To play on a Sunday morning for $49 w cart is great.

Great service from all employees encountered.

The warmer weather and lack of wind made the course much better to play than previous weeks.

Tee boxes all playable.

Fairways good coverage and good lies and rollout.

The one trap I was in was much more playable than past and the rest of them looked the same way.

Rough was more playable today as well.

Greens were chipping/putting great all round.

Well maintained public course and an excellent price given its location in comparison to the others in the area. Recommended.

Late review, played last weekend with two grandsons and a friend of theirs from San Pedro. The range was closed because of heavy rain the day before. It was cart path only for the same reason. I was pleased with the 4:15 pace of play considering my grandsons are new to the game and each lost a box of inexpensive golf balls.

Late review, played last weekend with two grandsons and a friend of theirs from San Pedro. The range was closed because of heavy rain the day before. It was cart path only for the same reason. I was pleased with the 4:15 pace of play considering my grandsons are new to the game and each lost a box of inexpensive golf balls.

There were wet places out there but overall, the course drained well. The starter warned me that some of the sand traps were in rough shape but I found them playable. Fairways were good. They were working on the greens with many of them having new grass with seams evident between the strips. Those greens were lush but very slow (like the practice green). Other greens had sections that had been repaired. Some had no new sod laid. There were places on the greens with bare spots which presumably will get work in the future. The areas without new sod ran at a nice medium speed with some subtle breaks.

I enjoyed the round but the course was overpriced at its present condition (the availability of last minute tee times was a red flag I missed). I’ll probably go elsewhere on my next visit unless the grandsons drag me out there.
