Canyon Lakes Golf Course & Brewery

we got an ok rate at $30, but honestly I wouldn't pay more for this course unless it was for some occasion.

fairways were in mediocre condition, most of the bunkers were hardened, but some had good soft sand, hope that you mishit into the soft sand bunkers...

tee boxes were fine, lack of a real driving range is certainly something to consider, although for me that isn't always something I need, so it depends on the day. The course only has 2 sets of tees, so if you're a long hitter you will likely be hitting a lot of irons from the tee box.

In-house IPA was good, service excellent, sandwich was good.

We come here to play at least once a week. Price is reasonable and the pace is 4.5 hr or less. I like that!

One thing I always wish the course can be improved on is to fill bunkers with sand. There’s hardly any sand in most of bunkers :( The staffs in the pro shop including Dana is five star ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️!

Played in the heavy smoke (was only super bad the last few holes.......wore our NIOSH N95 masks the last couple holes.....funny, sorta.).

Greens in good shape, fairways just OK. We like the layout. Pace a little slow first few holes, cuz NCGA group (4 guys) out there taking course info. for the annual rating (difficulty: stroke/slope). But, after got thru them, we flew. Had one of the brewery craft beers afterwards in the new bar/restaurant. Their doing alot of work/improvements to the facility which should start to pay off soon.

This course could be amazing, but the Sandtrap’s and fairways are not in great condition. You will run across some great calls and some great layouts. If the owner puts in enough time and money this will be a great course and I would definitely go out of my way to golf there when that happens.

Discourse need some tender loving care. Sandtrap's are in terrible shape. Some are totally unplayable in about 30% have ground under repair markers in them. The fairways are in decent shape however overwatered in many places. Golf carts are rolling over the overwatered areas creating tracks that are unplayable. Also there are no course and Bassett or's out on the course taking care of pace of play therefore is very slow. With some management invested good place to play but I would hold off for now

My first time on this course. The course is challenging but definitely playable for a mid-cap player. There are some easy holes that are reachable in regulation but there is a par 5 that is not reachable to me. I like the course. It' has similar characteristics as some that I like playing... elevations, good greens, etc. There are some areas that are brown but for the most part the course is good. Worth what we paid.

there is no sand in most of the bunkers, fairway is in very poor condition. The putting green are in fine condition.

The course layout is good, but seems lack of any maintenance.

Need sime nice people if you are changing 65 a round. Maybe some sand clean up the dead wood

We've been playing not quite one year so we're newbies...but we love this course. It's challenging, scenic, some daunting water hazards, fabulous wildlife, we saw hawks and quail and many birdhouses - this course loves their wildlife. Just a note if you reserve thru Golf Now, best to call clubhouse to confirm price as carts are required during certain tee times and we didn't know that so had to pay more than Golf Now price. No big deal as we enjoyed the course.

I hadn't been here in 10-15 years. Friend booked it on Golfnow for 31$ on a Saturday at noon; can't beat that price. A few observations:

No driving range- so keep that in mind if you like hitting balls before. You can go to another local course like Bridges (which is about a mile down the road)

Small putting green/chipping green- by the first hole to have a slight warm up

Fun layout- I read a lot of reviews in regards to the layout of the course. I truly didn't remember any of it. I liked the different variety of holes; some holes are short with blind second shots to a green below/above feet; some holes are straight away and just long!

Sand is terrible, which unfortunately is about par for a lot of courses right now with all this heat. There were a few decent traps on the course, but a lot of 'Under Repair' traps, and others that are just unplayable

Staff was very friendly in the pro shop and the restaurant where we grabbed a drink and some food afterwards

Pace of play was fantastic, we had a 2-some in front of us when we tee'd off and didn't see them the rest of the round. Even though we were a 4-some, we didn't see anyone behind us either!

Definitely will be back and give this course another crack :)

Canyon Lakes is Ted Robinson Jr design course, so the layout is pretty good old style track. However, bring your accuracy because it will be tested all day. Shorter course. I only used driver twice and still could of gotten away with not using driver all day. Canyon Lakes is a very narrow track. Can play very difficult if ball striking is in question. Greens are deceivingly fast and a lot of break. Some very unique holes.

Facilities. Clubhouse will be very nice. They are in the process of renovating it and will have a brewery there so I am sure it will be a hangout spot for locals. Not much in the way of practice facilities. No practice range but have hitting nets for warming up. Small putting/chipping green near 1st tee.

Condition. Course condition is decent. Greens are in pretty good shape. There is room for improvement and cleaning up some areas. Bunkers seem to be well maintained.

Seemed like a lot random people were walking on the course from the surrounding homes even though public access is forbidden. #18 has good views of San Ramon and one of the better holes.

This is a fun course with a very challenging layout. Greens were in great shape. Multiple layers and ridges. Tee boxes are in great locations and you hit into narrow fairways. Some of the fairways are still showing signs from the wet winter but for the most part the course is recovering nicely. As is the case with many tight courses, accuracy is highly rewarded where miss hits will punish you.
