Challenging as usual

I enjoy playing Cinnabar Hills. The course is always in great shape. I was paired up with a twosome and another single. We were a little behind at the turn after playing the Mountain course, and I was surprised when a staff member met us at the 9th green, handed us scorecards for the Lake course (we were originally supposed to play the Canyon course) and told us "it would be better". No explanation.

Hidden Gem

Many praise as one of the best course in the South Bay. I object to that opinion. It is one of the best courses in the Bay Area. Course layout is awesome. challenging but reasonable to play depending which tee box you play from but be forewarned play within yourself. We believe this will challenge your skills and enjoy playing.

Challenging course when it's hot...

I always enjoy a good round of golf when the price is right at Cinnabar. A very classy place. They even sent a guy out when we called about our cart running out of electricity.

However, near the trap on #4 on the Canyon course we encountered an adolescent rattler. Very unnerving. While I like the wilderness aspect of Cinnabar, I probably won't play there again.

Great course. Played Lakes and Canyon combination, which is rated with the toughest slope. A lot of carry areas and hard to judge. Course was in great condition. The course kicked my butt from the Cinnabar tees but I will definitely be back.

Good course

good course. Wide fairways, very playable. Greens hard and fast. Course can get windy. Be careful when looking for lost balls we saw 2 young snakes. Will definitely play again.

Used all my clubs to play this great track

Cinnabar Hills has been one of my favorite courses in the San Jose area to play since it opened in 1998. It is in good shape (Greens 90% recoved from aeration), this time of the year the fairways are great. Played the 18 holes in 3 hrs 40 minutes.

No Fog Delay???

Great course. Second time playing there and course was in good shape! Only problem was some dense fog in the morning which maybe it impossible to see anything on the first 5 holes. Playing shot blind is no fun....playing shots blind on a tough course is not fair.

Course should have held groups up for a fog delay instead of forcing them out to play in the fog.

Went in the pro shop afterwards to let them know about the issue and they didn't say much other than thanks. A bit frustrated but oh well. The world isn't perfect and neither is my golf swing.

Great Course

Love playing here. Always in great shape. The spicy Cinnabar sausage they have in the snack shack is fantastic. Good pace of play. Teed off around 2 and easily finished.
