Cinnabar Hills Golf Club - Canyon/Mountain

Nice course to play, very challenging for the average golfer. It drains well in rain also. The staff is very good and real friendly.

Played Cinnabar Hills Mountain and Canyon courses this day. Greens were punched about 2 months ago and greens were fairly good. Rolled slow at first but got faster as the day went along. Liked the Mountain course but not much a fan of the Canyon. This course reminds me of Poppy Ridge and San Juan Oaks in that it has the same type of terrain but more trees.
If you want a good challenge of golf, this place will give you one but beware of pace of play. It can get slow due to the hazards right off the fairways and people looking way too long for their balls, and lack of use of the always handy provisional ball!!!

Can get really windy in the afternoons so get out early before the slow pokes start ahead of you!!

Beautiful course, awesome views and great deal. Will definitely be back!

Course conditions were good despite the drought. Pace of play was excellent, never had to wait to tee up. Speed control on greens were challenging some faster than others. Can't beat the great rate on GN.

Cinnabar, one of my favorite courses in the South Bay. The course is challenging but fair. This course is typically in really great shape with fast and true rolling greens. I wished Cinnabar would of let Golfnow know that the greens have not completely healed yet. I would definitely go back in a few more weeks after the greens heal completely.

The reason for a "poor" rating on course conditions - It was not indicated that the course had just been aerated when booking my tee time, so we were a bit disappointed by that. The fryer wasn't working so we were not able to order some of the items we would have enjoyed. I have played this course many times & have always enjoyed it.

The staff was awsome. They were very accommodating. The pace of play was out standing

The course was playing perfect, greens and fairways matched!

Greens and fairways were excellent. Too bad the practice greens were punched.

Course has some majestic views. One of the most finest courses I played in California.

It's a challenging, beautiful gem worthy of the visit, or like a Lays potato chip, you just gotta have more. Go early, the clubhouse is packed full of golf memorabilia. I listed this as somewhat challenging, but some of the greens will give you nightmares if you don't watch your step. The course is surrounded by beautiful vistas (green California rolling hills),. There's a beautiful view everywhere you look, but you better keep your mind on the task at hand, or like a snake, the course will jump up and bite you. Plenty of elevation changes and the greens are well protected by well placed bunkers. Better have your A game working or your score will balloon. This place was so scenic I didn't know whether to play golf, or take photos (I did both), think it was only the second time I used my camera on my iphone. Long story short, go, you'll be glad you did! I know I'll return if given the opportunity, wouldn't miss it, nor should you!!

We played Sunday at 1:00p tee time. Had such a great afternoon... did not wait AT ALL, ALL DAY on a single shot ... this is how golf should be played!!! The course is in great condition. The only reason I gave it 3 stars is that the tee boxes were all freshly punched... so getting the tee in tight was a little challenging, but pace of play more than made up for it! We will be back VERY soon!

Lots of subtle breaks, leading to more 3 putts on these fast greens

Picked this course online and was pleasantly surprised. Beautiful layout in rolling hills, with challenging holes that weren't forced or too tricky. Played in less than 4 and a half hours, course condition was good and staff was very friendly.
I will go back the next time I'm in the South Bay area.

This course over the years has been a hidden gem in the back roads of San Jose. It has also been trimmed and cut here and there to make it much more miss hit friendly. Each nine has its own personality and is such named: Lake, Canyon & Mountain. All equally fun and challenging. This course offers well manicured fairways and smooth fast greens!

Most courses are in bad shape due to lack of rain. This course is one of the better for the money.

Well maintained and friendly staff. We always have a great round. Challenging, but worth the time and money.

Love this course! From the grass driving range to the 18th hole. The beauty is everywhere. The staff is most accommodating.

It was a cold windy day. the course was very wet with a lot of standing water, but we expected that. Cart path only and walking was difficult.

What a beautiful course. Very challenging, especially when the wind kicks up. Swallow pride and play up one tee box for a better scoring round.
