Cinnabar Hills Golf Club - Canyon/Mountain

I have been wanting to play this course for years but could never muster up the courage to do it. I always believed it was way above my skill level.

Last week I decided to pull the trigger and get a T time for today.

Showed up this morning at 0815 for a 9:30 t time. Guys at pro shop counter very polite. Grabbed cart and hit some balls to loosen up. Then the putting green. The practice green was difficult to figure out but I was able to make some decent puts.then it was time to go. The starter was very polite and gave me some info to help me out. He put me with 3 other guys. They have golfed this course many times. We played the Mountain / Canyon. My first shot at Mountain #1 cleared the barranca by about 75 yards from the silver T’.

I found this course to be in excellent condition. The T boxes were level with plenty of grass. The fairways were incredible,. Lush green grass very easy to hit off of even with the elevation changes. The bunkers had soft fully sand. I managed to find a couple but was able to get out.

The greens were tough for me but managed a few par puts and a birdie on # 9..

The Canyon course was more difficult. The last 4-5,holes are just brutal, but I managed.

I’m a 18 handicap, and scored a 95:. So breaking 100 was awesome for me/..

I will definitely be back!! Thanks Cinnabar!!

The course was very wet from the recent rains but in better shape than expected. The greens were a bit slow but true to form. I Love This Course, it’s Really Hard but if you play well here you can play well anywhere.

Cinnabar is a challenging course with equally tough undulating greens. Due to this degree of difficulty, don’t expect to finish if you have a late starting time - especially if cart path only restrictions are in effect. They were no cart restrictions the day we played, yet we were unable to finish due to painfully slow pace of play. Disappointing.

This course is best for intermediate to advanced golfers who enjoy elevated and blind tee shots/ narrow fairways / quality greens.

Not going to get in depth. This is an amazing course. Go play it!

Im pretty new to golf so I have no business playing here, but I used a coupon and glad I got to play a round. Its a beautiful course with amazing views. I found it challenging to get on fairways due to the ravines between the tee boxes and the fairway, its very intimidating for me. The greens were super fast and extremely challenging on some holes due to pin placement.

I go out of my way to play this gem of a course mainly because it is beautiful, challenging, and the pace of play is great. However this round took almost 5 and a half hours. No Marshall in sight.

Great course for play. Aerogation sand on the green is little hassle.. Overall condition is good

Every time I play Cinnabar Hills, I walk away with a smile and say I need to play here more often. Routing was the Mountain/Canyon combination and this is only my second time playing the Canyon 9. Unlike the other nines, the canyon is much more strategic off the tee. It’s a good mix up from the grip it and rip it wide fairways of the other two layouts. Condition wise the course was in fantastic shape.

Fairways were near perfect. Very lush with a nice emerald green glow throughout. Fairways presented a great hitting surface along with a decent amount of roll out. Tee boxes were Level and lush with ample coverage. I was only in one sand trap and it had a good amount of fluffy sand.

The greens were nice as well. The greens on the Mountain course were super smooth and rolled at a fast pace. Greens on the Canyon side were noticeably slower but still rolled true. The greens at Cinnabar are a perfect blend of challenging undulations but fair.

POP was 4.5 hrs and the carts have GPS to the pin.

Cinnabar is a public course that has a country club feel to it. Oh, and not a house within miles if you’re looking for a course outside a housing track.

Front of house staff, ProShop v& Restaurant personal super.

Accommodations were spelled out clear. Helpful.

Food staff even better.

1. Pace of play needs to be dictated by a Marshall. 2. Each Hole direction needs a sign board with clear arrow
