Tough Golf Course

What a beautiful and very tough golf course. Those greens are so fast, and when the wind kicks up you are in trouble. I can’t wait to go back.

Great first experience

I enjoyed the challenging layout of Cinnabar. It kept the game interesting and required strategic shots, making it a great experience for golfers of all skill levels.

The pace of play was perfect for my 8AM tee time. We didn't feel rushed, and there was no frustrating waiting around.

Excellent course

Tough but fair course. Not for the weekend hacker. Course is in fantastic shape and greens are well manicured but fast. Scenic views of the valley and delicious food round out a phenomenal golf experience. Best public course in the South Bay.

Beautiful Course

This is such a beautiful golf course but very tough. The greens are so fast and very firm. I couldn’t even get a lob wedge to stop, so I just aimed for 10-15 yards short of the plan when I could and that seemed to work out pretty well. I can’t wait to go back.

Still Haven’t Played Lakes

Been here 20x, never gotten to play the Lakes. Amazing stat, considering it’s also over a 20 year period…it just turned 25?

When playing (a few times a week and well), course is like any other, and gettable. As a +2 who HAS played with LPGA pros, this course has it all. My feeling is that I still may lose to a TOUR LGPA member easily…

When having had a time off playing like a month or two or more, this place will eat you back up.

Having played only 18 of the 27, 180 holes gives me a good idea…

Play well. You won’t score otherwise.

Cinnabar Hills is a Gold Mine.

Cinnabar Hills is as good as golf gets in the coastal mountains of California. The 3 distinct nine hole courses (Lake, Mountain and Canyon) are all breathtaking with elevated tees, expansive fairways and undulating fast rolling greens. A “Must Play”.

Dry Greens

I love this course but the greens were so dry and very firm. I wish they would either put more water on them or don’t cut them so short. Like putting on concrete.

Awesome course, worst round I’ve had in awhile

It’s a great course, good condition, great use of elevation changes, and well positioned bunkers. Wish I didn’t look like an idiot the whole round, would be a fun course to play well on.
