Beautiful course for a very enjoyable round of golf

The course condition is much improved from the last round I played here almost a year ago. The bunkers have nice and soft sand that I felt like throwing some balls in there just to play some sand shots. The pace of play was good on the day I played (Tuesday) although I have to wait a bit on some holes. The staff at the pro shop was very friendly and welcoming. Overall, it was a great experience.

Not bad, but not great

I've golfed here a number of times over the years. I was pleasantly surprised by the speed and condition of the greens however the rest of the mowed areas of the course are needing attention. Also, there was a lot of goose droppings throughout the course, although mostly on the front 9. I wouldn't spend a ton of money here, but it was good to play here again.

First Time Playing

Blustery day at the golf course. On top of that, It had rained pretty good earlier in the day so not many players out. First time playing Canyon Lakes so impression was that the layout had a mixture of blind shots, narrow alleyways (used my fairway finder clubs on the tee box on several par 4s and 2 of the par 5s) as well as design traps ( layups are needed at times). Tee boxes were in okay shape, most of the fairways were good. Sand traps were full. The only knock I would say is the greens have ball mark craters all over them. But this is not due to the greens turf weave that is used (which is very good btw) or the greens keepers. It is largely due to the etiquette issue seen all over Northern California and the golf world - make a ball mark on a green - fix your golf mark properly plus another ! Seriously people, stop ruining your place of enjoyment and take a minute to preserve the dance floors for you next time and for your future golf buddies. Brewery and restaurant was closed, staff was nice. If you play here, make sure you practice your punch shot and your short game as the rough around the greens can be sticky - bunkers come into play a lot if you don't lay up on your approach. Fun course...will return again.

Getting better all the time, BUT….1

This course’s new(er) management is definitely putting inthe effort to get this course up to par (pun apology issued) and it shows. There are, however, several areas where more diligent efforts are required. First and foremost, the greens. They’re still too bumpy and need to be mowed and rolled. And those traps! What can I say? They’ve improved several but there are many more to be done. Hard dirt is NOT sand.

Great day at Canyon Lakes!

Staff was awesome. Starter was hilarious and very helpful. Course is in very good condition. Tee boxes and fairways are continuing to get better. Still some dry patches. Greens were a in good shape except bumpy due to people NOT fixing their ball marks. UGGG!!!

Will definitely be back!
