Cinnabar Hills Golf Club - Canyon/Mountain

First time there.

Check in was ok; the young guy at the counter was smug and not accommodating. No NCGA rate was a little surprising. Cart was pretty beat up with the seat coming apart at the seams. Driving range is nice! Starter was just a figure hanging out in the shack (staff needs to perk up!).

Played the Mountain and Canyon Courses. Don’t need driver on a lot of holes. Amazing views on both. Greens superb! But the fairways were bare in a lot of spots and tee boxes especially on the Canyon course, just neglected and beat to crap. Greens crew was all over the place with their carts. Some bunkers were under repair and the ones that didn’t had way too much sand in them IMO.

Overall worth the drive. Reminiscent of a few courses I’ve played (Tehama, The Preserve, San Juan Oaks and Crazy Horse).

Excellent course in every way imaginable. Course layout,conditions of tee boxes , fairways and greens. Great food and drinks at the restaurant.

Great shape, greens excellent, both times I played I got paired with friendly groups. The bunkers are under renovation so that will make the course even better.

On par with much more expensive courses. Challenging, but fair. I enjoy every round here.

Booked a Hot Deal through Golfnow and was really impressed. The practice range had a recent face-lift and is immaculate. The course is a great elevation change experience with manicured bunkers and lightning fast and true greens.

Greens were almost unplayable cement hard, the fairways were closed off on most holes and our cart shut down automatically after a warning not to be in the fairway. Local golfers behind us kept hitting up into us and hit our cart with a drive just missing my partner by a foot. Beautiful scenery up in the hills looking out.

6:20am tee time. Had the course to myself. After the 9 they split every other group to a different 9 (total of 3 of them) I didn’t see anyone in front or behind me after the 9 th hole. Greens where well kept and so are the sand traps.
