Not as sold

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.

What Happened?

Haven't been to Canyon Lakes in awhile. The course was tore up. Such a shame as it's an incredibly nice layout and very challenging. Tee boxes were in bad shape and the greens had a lot of dry dirt. The fringe was unkind as it had so many bald spots. It has by far the best restaurant and selection of drinks in the Bay Area. Hopefully the course recieves a little more TLC in the future.

I have played this course many times and it has gone way down hill. Half the tee boxes were sand. Greens were terrible. Fine to play if you are getting a hot deal, otherwise I would avoid.

This course is in terrible condition

Fairways are covered in burrowing animal holes and dirt. The greens are covered in fungus and burned out. Sand traps are hard pan and tee boxes are a mess.

Such a shame because this course has a nice layout, friendly staff and good food. They just don’t take care of it at all. I heard they are trying to sell and build homes on it so maybe they don’t care, but for 70-85.00 a round it should be in better shape. Bridges across the street is in great shape, but I hate the layout of that course.

Putting green conditions was worst

On the back nine, patches of grass are dead in several areas, but the most serious issue is the condition of the putting greens. The surface is so uneven that the ball bounces when putting, and when I step on the green, it sinks noticeably underfoot.

Expectations were low and still fell short

We walked off at the 17th tee after being on the course for 5+ hours. The course has a demanding layout yet is filled with beginners who are not being actively Marshalled and the wait for food at the turn is ridiculous. Tons of things they can do to improve pace of play but sadly no one here really cares.

Beyond pace, the course is in awful condition. Fairways are filled with holes and barren grass. Good luck finding a flat spot to tee up on the tee boxes. And if the greens aren’t full of Goose excrement, they are very bumpy, not mown, and sometimes barren as well.

Do this course a favor and don’t play here. The sooner it sells and comes under new management, the better for all involved. Sad to say we’ll never be coming back.

Speed up the greens

I went out with a couple buddies. Great course my only complaint is the speed of greens. They are very slow. Other than that, we had a wonderful time. The food is delicious there my friend had a Reuben sandwich that looked delicious. Even the hotdog was good with a great bun. I had a protein burger before I started, and that was delicious as well.
