Canyon Lakes Golf Course & Brewery

Haven't played since 2011 when it was overpriced and under maintained. Great layout, fairways in good shape, bunkers are getting fixed up.

Just one issue.....how about some water stations please? It was about 65 dog the day we played so not too critical the time. Hopefully by May there will be water stations.

$35 on a Friday for us over 55! The golf course has a nice layout the conditions are getting much better, difficult par fives. It's apparent that new management is investing some money on the golf course a long way to go bunkers especially bad. I would say this is the best layout of the public golf courses in San Ramon and I sure hope that management continues to invest.

This is a nice looking course and definitely fun to play.

The fairways are not well manicured and the greens are a bit hard.

The main problem was that we waited almost at every shot. At one time there were 5 groups on a par 5.

The good news is that they seem to be injecting some money into the facility and that they have added a new brewery.

Its been wet with all the rain recently in California so the course was still drying out. The fairways produce good roll but you miss the fairway good luck getting up and down. The ground's crew have not been able to cut the rough so it can be penalizing. Good challenging course, accuracy is a premium. The greens were slow and bumpy so today we were aggressive.

Once we get the warm weather and course dries out... its a must play. I like the course layout, guess that's why I come back.

Beautiful day and the landscape was beautiful to look at. But, the pace of play was TOO slow. We had to wait at each hole ... even though we skipped one hole by passing three slow players.

Love the design & layout of the course, but even after all the warm, dry weather we've had recently, the course is still sloppy in a lot of areas. Most other courses are pretty dry & firm by now. Next time I'll wait until April or May before playing Canyon lakes. We were somewhat disappointed in the wet conditions. However, the new owners are making a concerted effort to bring the course back to it's previously lush condition.

Course was rather wet and a bit muddy in some areas due to some rain the night before. The course was practically empty so pace was great and took my time. The wet condition made a bit more challenging ( car path only ) play but this place was just as good as the last time I played here a month ago.

Not the ideal outing. Course conditions extremely poor. No drainage and fairways are nothing but grown weeds.

I have played this course in dryer weather and it is target golf with some challenging shots. However this course does not drain well. The current state of the course is so wet and muddy it's almost unplayable.

Unfriendly pro-shop ? attendant.

I brought my own water but ran out as it was a very hot day. There was one pro-shop attendant who said there was only bottled water available for purchase!

I rated this course below average because of the pace of play. I understand frost delay and how it can set you back some, but this day was ridiculous. I think there should have been a starter on the first tee holding players up until the players in front of them were on the green, and then a Marshall controlling the pace of play. We waited on every single hole. No one played well, because there was no flow to the game. It was NOT a fun day at all!!!

This course will challenge the new golfer and leave him wanting for more. The hilly and narrow fairways will keep anyone interested and not bored. Beware of poison ivy so limit your time looking for balls. The green does not roll true at some of the holes but that is what you get for a cheap price. Use the shorter tees to avoid frustration. The course was designed with in several neighborhoods so stay on cart path not to get lost.

This very short course plays tricky with lots of tight doglegs and uphill shots to fairly protected greens. The greens run slow but have a great deal of brake. It is not a course to try to over power since the fairways get narrow around 240. A patient straight hitter will love it. Surrounded by quiet neighborhoods in the hills. I got a good deal on golf now.

If you want to play more challenging short course try Mare Island.

The views were breath taking, but that's about were it stopped. First, they sold this place on their website as a top notch, exclusive course, but it was far from that. Then there is no driving range, just a few nets you can hit into to warm up. Now on the course itself, there were a lot of dead area on every hole and I mean large areas. There were multiple types of grass growing in the fairway when there was grass. The greens were inconsistent. The mowers wouldn't stop to let you play, meaning they would continue to go up and down the middle of the fairway. I would have been mad if I played here for more than $20. I will not be going back, that's for sure.

the course still needs work but it's coming along. i will give it a few months and check back.

Fun layout that winds through the hills in San Ramon. I will definitely be back!!

Very friendly staff but the ground needs some maintenance.
