Played the Vineyard course with two buddies on 10/10, teed off at 7:40. Was looking for a more casual round as was playing with a higher handicapper in the group. Range was the range. Tee boxes and fairways were in good shape. Didn't have any memorably bad lies that were not my own fault. Fringe on Hole 3 was kind of thin at the back of the green, it has always been like that so I recommend putting there. Pace of play was an issue - we finished in about 4:45 due to extremely, extremely slow play by some group 2-3 groups ahead of us. Heading into Hole #9 we saw a 3-group backup, so we took our time on Hole #8.

The slow play really backed up again on Holes 17 and 18. Not sure what the holdup was, but heard the same thing on the range before the round. Course officials to their credit were out and about for each slowdown, and were on the groups ahead of us.

I'm sure the group behind us was tired of waiting for us, but at least it wasn't like that all day. Not bad for muni golf, course conditions were good, greens were in good shape although about to be punched. I know that's kind of odd about the greens as I've seen others complain about them here, but all three of us had some consistent, quality putting, and only saw 2-3 bumpy putts.

The Mountain 18 just closed for overseeding and the Canyon 18 just reopened from over seeding. Lush all around. Greens firm and medium fast. Everything in almost perfect condition first day reopening after over seeding. CPO til the end of October. Recent rains have the course playing softer and longer than usual. 2 yards of roll on drives instead of 20-30 makes a huge difference. Customer service VG and attentive. Played as a single in barely 1H per 9 with few snow birds here yet. Highly recommended.

Played SCGA, oops, GC Rancho California on 10/12/26 after the storms. First time here in almost 13 years. Sad to say this is not the SCGA Member's Course that I remember.

Greens are about 3 weeks post aeration, and they are in pretty good shape by now. Really soft after the weekend rains, so they were a bit bumpy, but in all the greens are good.

The praise stops there. The rest of the course is kind of a mess. I'll give the sand traps a pass as I suspect they were messed up from the rains. The tees are all over the place, fairways are generally ok but lots of bad areas.

Still it is a great layout, and if I was local, I'd still come out once in a while. But for me with over an hour drive, it is not worth the gas with many better options in the area.

I do hope there are some improvements coming at this great old course.

Well, I am part of a yearly tournament that we play 18 times in 9 different courses, including Traditions and Cypress, both courses at Cypress wood Golf course (Its 32 people in this tournament). I am a 12 HDCP but we play with help's all the way to 36. The rough is long and thick, professional stile and it's impossible to find the ball if you are not in the fairway. The ISSUE we had was that as we were finishing up hole 9, one of the Marshalls came to us and said we had to skip hole 10 to get caught up. I told him that the 2 foursomes in from of us were 3 somes and the foursome behind us hadn't even tee off on the 9th hole. I really thought he was kidding as we were in the tournament and you just don't skip a hole... I follow to try to tee off on hole 10 and he came rushing in the cart in front of the tee box and started screaming to us saying that we had to skip the hole. I kept telling him that we were in a tournament and that we couldn't just skip a hole but he was so rude and upset that I told him that it was fine but I need it a full refund... We proceded to the trailer to get our refund and he call the "Manager", I think he was the person in charge because he was rude and defensive as well. He was not able to listen about the tournament and about the foursome behind us which was just teen off on the 9th hole. He proceded to call the "General Manager" by phone, who was not there and I don't think he liked the call on Saturday at 10am given the reaction from the manager in turn as he responded, "Yes sir, I wouldn't call you about this again". He proceeded to give us our refund and I told him that I couldn't understand how a golf course wouldn't care about losing customers been so disrespectful and make such a strange decision because the Marshall was rude and in a bad mood... But that's fine. I even told my father in law "Que situation tan estupida" which means what a stupid situation... And this " Shift manager" started fighting with me because he said he understands Spanish and that I shouldn't disrespect anyone in the club house (Trailer) to what I responded.... Yes, you don't understand anything because what I said was that this was a stupid situation.... Ok, long story short. I have never been treated this way in my 35 years playing golf and specially by staff that doesn't have a clue what they are doing... At the end, 20 minutes later we came out of the shack (trainer) and the foursome behind us which was in the tournament as well, were just finishing up hole 9.. Nice courses which I play a good 6-8 times per year but unfortunately I wouldn't be playing or recommending any longer. I know that my review doesn't make a difference for the golf course or people seen the review but I wanted to express my frustration on a situation badly handled.

Play day was 10/11/26
It was a pleasure to have been on Harding course once again although it’s been years since I’ve been back. Helpful reading the previous post from Chipper28.

It was The 2nd day LA Senior Championship. The course played long like it always has (for me) and that’s just how it goes at both their courses.
- the greens rolled pretty good. Many marks were left unfixed. It was receptive and almost have no rolls from irons in.
- the fairways were ok but not much roll either. Many scattered divots but not severe.
- the kikuyu rough is tough! They were healthy.
- the bunkers played heavy for some but if youll play here often I think you can get used to the mostly the same conditions.
- teeing grounds were not good as far as grass is concerned but you can still find some decent spots.

It’s been so long that I have played here that I admired the deerrs roaming around.

Still a good track.

Played this AM for my weekly walking round. Very cool this AM 49F at 6:30 after having last week in the 90's.

Being first off today we had a POP of 2.5 H walking.

They punched last M/T and the greens were playable this morning. Nice work IMO. Never heard any complaints.

Tee boxes were all playable no issues.

Fairways had nice coverage lies and good rollout all round.

Traps were all fine and the two I was in were fine in playability.

Rough had been cut so no issues in playing from it. Around the greens it was a little deeper causing some issues for a couple of our players.

Excellent service in the shop as always.

A very enjoyable round of golf with good friends good weather and only $18 for Sr.

It was a pleasure to have been on Wilson once again although it’s been years since I’ve been back. Enjoyed reading the previous review from RDenn. Sounds like a wonderful time.

It was The two day LA Senior Championship. The course played long like it always has and that’s just how it goes at both their courses.
- the greens rolled pretty good and bent grass is really nice to putt on. Many marks were fixed but some could have been fixed better. (I’m nitpicking I guess). It was very receptive and almost have no rolls from irons in.
- the fairways were fine but not much roll. Many scattered divots but not severe- I found my ball in a few of them by luck.
- the kikuyu rough is tough! They were healthy.
- the bunkers were played heavy at some but if youll play here often I think you can get used to the mostly the same conditions.
- teeing grounds were not good as far as grass is concerned but you can still find some decent spots.

All in all I find that it you take the course the way it is, there’s still plenty of good golf in it.

Played 10/9/26 3:30 pm Just made 18 at dark.
Course is in good shape overall. Greens are about 90% back. Still a little bumpy and slow. Very receptive. Fairways in very good shape for this time of year. Definitely better then ever before. Mostly green with good coverage. I think this is the first year in many that they didn't stain them green. Good coverage. Rough was the most penal I've seen in a long time. Very thick from second cut on. Tees were unfortunately typical. Crowned and beat up. Very difficult to fine a level spot. Still an easy recommend and even with the difficulties, my favorite twilight course is SD.

Played Friday 10/9 at 9:30. Just a short review for folks interested in the greens. They played very normal without any evidence of punching or sanding. Normal in that there’s a lot of ball marks from people not fixing their own (plus one more), and the occasional bare spot on some greens given the heat, etc. Overall very playable conditions and would recommend. Sand traps were especially decent in the two that I found today.

Played today in a great POP of 3 H. After seeing the first 4 holes I thought it would be longer LOL

Heat wave has broken and we had a nice cool morning with warming temps on the back 9.

I have not played here in about 40 years so it was like playing for the first time. Except one cannot forget a Par 6 hole which is still there.

And I give praise to anyone who can walk this place. I believe I played only one flat hole #12 that was not up down and over like this place. Local knowledge is key here and glad my partners knew this course.

We used a Golf Moose voucher so the round cost us $31.50 a piece with cart. Great deal.

Check in was great and friendly by the staff.

Tee boxes were playable but many could use leveling.

Fairways had good coverage (not all of them) but they provided decent roll out and lies the whole round.

Traps? There aren't any. But seriously I cannot even remember a bunker on 98% of the holes around the greens other than a few fairway ones that really did not come into play.

But who needs traps when there are enough ups/downs like a roller coaster and a course with OB lining every hole that if you went in they would not find you + the eucalyptis trees covering the course. Just be straight with your driver if you can.

Greens are in great shape and they are small and with the many elevations of the holes coming up short can be an issue with chipping as they are fast. They also have lots of unseen levels when putting that can drive one crazy.

And then you have two holes #9 and #18 that are unique as any holes you might come across. #9 a Par 3 (175 B 141 W) is downhill by at least 175 yards very small green surrounded by heavy rough and trees. Making par (I did) is not easy.

#18 is a Par 5 (667 B 649 W) all downhill OB on both sides of the fairway all downhill lies or uphill lies the entire way and uphill to a small green when you reach about 100 yards to the green above you. Not an easy hole to par (I did) by any means.

I thoroughly enjoyed playing here as it is as different as night/day to so many courses one can play in N and S CA. Highly recommended for anyone regardless of skill just to experience such a dramatically different layout of a course.

And there is a nice little Par 3 course on property as well.

+ Beautiful views of the bay area of from many of the holes on the course.

Played Arrowood early on 10/7. Greens are back to very good condition, a bit firmer than I remember them being before. Upcoming aeration should soften them some.

The rest of the course is in really good shape for late summer. Fairways good, rough can be spotty.

The only problem spots I really noticed was on the apron of several greens, the grass was very iffy. Maybe those areas will get hit with aeration too.

Put Arrowood back on your must play lists.

Played this AM as first off. Nice POP in 3 H.

Sr day today and every Wed for $34 w cart. Great deal for such a good course.

Great course inside the vineyards of Napa Valley with no houses and 6 Par 3's and 6 Par 5's. Par 72 with lots of scoring possibilities.

Tees all clean and playable all round.

Fairways clean, good rollout lies all round.

Rough was 3/4 " and damp at start and a few holes have culverts, creeks along the fairways and around the greens to cause trouble.

Traps were bad at first due to over watering from overnight and were mud not dirt and some dried out later. In one but not playable to muddy.

Greens are big and designed in many different shapes with undulations and uphill and downhill slopes. Quite challenging.

Great service in the shop. And good food in the restaurant.

Great course right off Hwy 12 going into Napa and next door to Eagle Vines. Two great courses for a golf trip to Napa.
