Excellent Condition

Cinnabar is in excellent condition. Many of the tee boxes have been leveled and redone. The greens are perfect and receptive, but fast. My favorite course in the South Bay.

Perfect condition

Always enjoy Cinnabar Hills, but today was perfect. Fairway was watered nicely, temperature was perfect with light wind.

Shot my personal best 2 over on Lake course today.

Mountain/Canyon course

Absolutely beautiful course, with amazing views. The course was challenging with fast greens, and elevated tee boxes. My only complaint, no beverage cart.

Would play again.

Sanded practice greens & wedding reception.....

Course in great shape. Greens very challenging with speed and undulation. Played Lake then Canyon. Excellent layout with one exception. #7 on Canyon is a stupid hole. Reminds me of the uphill hole with 12 foot flag stick at Lake Chabot in Oakland. As dumb as #6 at Wente.....Practice greens were recently punched and sanded. No relation to speed on the greens on the course. Took 3-4 holes to adjust to the correct speed. There was a wedding reception going on in the club house so had to wait about 15 minutes to get a post round brew. Next time it will be a weekday.

Wonderful public golf for Bay Area

Thanks to Golf Advisor, I discovered this course and all its great reviews.

Turned out to be a fine test of golf on well manicured fairways and fast true greens for $65 per player.

Scenic winding holes on terrain that requires precise shotmaking makes this layout a real test.

I played on five courses in the 8 days in California, 2 on very private country clubs, and Cinnabar had the finest greens.

Wish I lived in San Jose to play this regularly.

My wife, who is a 30 handicap also loved it.

Great course for the online price

For $50 (golfnow price), this deal is a steal. The course was in great condition, and was fun and challenging.

Tough layout and fast greens

I do like this venue, however, the greens on our day seemed to be too hard and fast. They were more of a brown color than green. They were, however, consistent. Layout is quite challenging, especially if you are not consistent with your game. Staff is exceptional across the board. Overall a really nice facility, but bring your B+ game to score within a few strokes of your handicap.
