Cinnabar Hills Golf Club - Canyon/Mountain

Great course and awesome clubhouse and practice areas. Fast, firm, elevated greens. Bunkers have sand in them. Broad fairways. Thick rough and waste areas. A links style course nestled in the hills. An amazing golf museum inside the clubhouse. Food is great and priced fairly. My favorite course in the South Bay!

Everything about this place is top notch. Despite how difficult it can seem, if you’re able to get off the tee safely and have a decent short game, you can post a good score here.

This is one of the best public courses in the Bay Area. In my opinion, the best in San Jose without question. There are 27 holes, with 5 tee boxes. The course is divided into 3, 9 hole sections: Canyon, Lake, and Mountain. This is a very tough course for beginners. The first time I played there I was embarrassed by the fact that I couldn't hit the ball over the ravine/stream gap into play. I hit 3 balls off the tee. Two landed in the fairway of the parallel hole, and the other into the abyss. I was paired with a scratch golfer who was patient and didn't mind my excessive mulligans, until our pace of play was too slow and he went ahead alone. The fairways are green and well kept. The bunkers are soft sand, and the greens are fast. It's a beautiful course. I'd wait until you are at least a double bogey golfer before playing here, otherwise it'll kill your confidence and ruin your day. I can't wait until I can play this course we'll. I look forward to playing here again.

After all of the recent rain the course is looking much better! One of my favorite courses to play in the south bay!

The best course in san jose . Friendly staff. Be back to play definitely.

Everything was great except the greens were punched.

I wasn’t told in advance.

I played right after aeration so cant speak towards greens but course was fantasic. Challenging and fun. A lot of elevation and walking even with a cart so would not suggest it to people with mobility issues

Great course and a nice round gets 5 stars even with no notice regarding punched greens, only paid 26 with a cart very happy thanks golfnow and cin management. Greens are still totally playable punched.

Play mountain and canyon course.

Mountain course is always busy, so the pace of playing is various and depends on players.

Love canyon course so much. Somewhere feels that is better than Eagle Ridge course layout.

It was so quiet yesterday. Felt peace, perfect weather and wonderful view.

For the money, you can’t beat it. If you don’t want to drop the cash for the big names in the area, you will have a blast here for under $100 during the week. I did! Super fun course.
