This is a great little course to play simply for the unique experience of having so many tall coastal redwoods lining every fairway. My course ratings are much lower than the others, but would still recommend it.

This is the second time I've played the course, and both times were not mid-summer when I am certain the conditions improve. Given the tall redwoods, I suspect there are considerable parts of the course that just do not get enough sun/warmth to dry out and for grass to grow strong roots.

Chose this course to go out with a friend visiting from the UK who was on a whirlwind tour of California had not played golf in 5 years. Really was perfect for him. We teed off late in the afternoon duffed it around, and finished 9 holes in near darkness, with some wait on a 4some on the last 3 holes, POP about 90 minutes walking.

The course was very green and looked 'good/great from far'. Tees were level on about half the holes, a little damp on a few. Fairway grass was thinnish in many spots, didn't provide great roll due to moisture in the soil, but the grass that was there was very green. Rough was penal at times, about 2-3 inches and the ball tended to sit down in it. Was in one greenside bunker, was very firm and un-raked by previous golfers. The small greens held shots OK, and were mostly lush. They did have bare soil spots exposed and a fair bit of forest debris on all greens, indeed too much to remove to get a clear line for putts. So, a bumpy and veering trip for the ball after a stroke.

Jeff in the bar took good care of us after the round, and had a nice salad, but they do have a fairly large offering for heavier fare, as desired.

Glad we played, my friend even made 1 par on the day after knocking some rust off, and still highly recommend the experience in spite of conditions and price. Hopefully, they spend more of the greens fees to hire someone to provide better course upkeep going forward.
