Trim and cut some trees on 9 and 18 and 2

It's a good track.

Trees on left side of 2 need trimming.

Trees on left side 18 need trimming.

Trees on left side of 9 and in creek bed need removal.

Will not make the holes any easier just more fair to all.

Send some pics to architect Graves I believe he will agree.

Great value

First not enough buckets for the range, you’ll have to birddog one, bunkers where the best I’ve seen them in, in a long time, hole #5 no racks at all #10 small bunker 2 racks, as all the other courses in the area but not as bad over watered, at least they’re trying to improve the pace of play but when they offer discounts everybody comes out, but the great kicker that I like is they had enough carts, with 2 mini tournaments off and running. Kudos to management!!!!!!

Summer Time Conditioning & Maintenance Needs Improvement

First, I do have to say Thank You to the Pro Shop staff and for the golfer that returned my lost 6-iron. I was able to retrieve the 6-iron that I left on the course.

As for the golf course, (I play here once a month), it needed maintenance and upkeep. Some teeing areas looked sloppy and it just looked like it hasn't been maintained in half a week. Weeds were growing in places that should be seen and fixed. The greens had a lot of ball marks. Golfers are not repairing ball marks. I repaired on average four ball marks per green.

Great layout - but too much of the course is underwater..

Great to play on a course where many of the holes are hidden from the tee box. Really need to strategize to play this course. A lot of fun. But the grounds are getting way to much water.

Solid course

Great course all around. Booked for 3ppl, but showed up with 4 ppl. Had a scheduled stranger for 4th, but staff was able to move him to another group (quickly accommodating).

Course was really fun. Challenging. Some long par 5’s to grip and rip. Greens in great shape. Hot cart girl.

Cherry Island FTW.

Overbooked

Twilight hours were overbooked and the pace of play made it impossible to play with any rhythm. Was forced to wait 15 to 20 minutes after every single shot due to slow play and overcrowding. This is standard with most golf courses now. I wish rules and pace of play was spotlighted more in the pro shop.

A gem

Fairways and bunkers were great. Most tee boxes were excellent except for a couple. Greens were amazingly crafted by staff but the regulars never fix ball marks so heads up and bring a divot tool. Bathroom on the course are clean and the course has a very peaceful and spacious environment. For the price point I’d make the drive from the Bay Area.
