Cinnabar Hills Golf Club - Mountain/Lake

This is such a beautiful golf course but very tough. The greens are so fast and very firm. I couldn’t even get a lob wedge to stop, so I just aimed for 10-15 yards short of the plan when I could and that seemed to work out pretty well. I can’t wait to go back.

Been here 20x, never gotten to play the Lakes. Amazing stat, considering it’s also over a 20 year period…it just turned 25?

When playing (a few times a week and well), course is like any other, and gettable. As a +2 who HAS played with LPGA pros, this course has it all. My feeling is that I still may lose to a TOUR LGPA member easily…

When having had a time off playing like a month or two or more, this place will eat you back up.

Having played only 18 of the 27, 180 holes gives me a good idea…

Play well. You won’t score otherwise.

Cinnabar Hills is as good as golf gets in the coastal mountains of California. The 3 distinct nine hole courses (Lake, Mountain and Canyon) are all breathtaking with elevated tees, expansive fairways and undulating fast rolling greens. A “Must Play”.

I love this course but the greens were so dry and very firm. I wish they would either put more water on them or don’t cut them so short. Like putting on concrete.

It’s a great course, good condition, great use of elevation changes, and well positioned bunkers. Wish I didn’t look like an idiot the whole round, would be a fun course to play well on.

Excellent 27 holes locaed in South San Jose. Greens are kept in great shapr. You need to bring all type of shots to this course to score.

The course is beautiful, the staff is amazing and you can’t beat the twilight rate. However, they need to monitor the groups they allow out on the course. The group in front of me turned into a 5 or 6 and never allowed my twosome to play thru. I should have easily been able to finish close to 18 by aunset, however, I spent most of my time standing at the tee box or fairway waiting for a group of six (with small children) mess around up ahead. At one point, we watched one of the carts careen off the cart path and get stuck on the curb that saved them from rolling down a side hill! We had to try and help them push the cart back on the path, but it was totally stuck. Only then did we get to play thru, but the damage was done.

Should have been a wonderful evening…

Everything was great. Well-maintained tee box, fairways, bunkers, and greens. Great pace.

We had a blast at Cinnabar yesterday. The course was in amazing condition, the greens were so pure. Staff and the restaurant were so good, food was outstanding along with the service. Can’t wait to go back.

Another very enjoyable day at Cinnabar, course in a good state overall, a few tees were a little worn and not in super condition but still very useable. Played Mountain and Lake which I’d give an 8 and 7 out of 10 respectively for quality and enjoyment, Canyon is superior to both of these 9s in my opinion. Rough was pretty this so relatively easy to find a ball, the fairways were very good and the greens also. I think I’d rate the course as 8-9 out of 10, the tee variety makes it challenging for anyone, there are some very pretty and interesting holes, the course felt slightly well played but it is popular from dawn to dusk for good reason so the greens staff do an excellent job to keep it such fine fettle. I’ll be back for more, thanks.

The course was in good condition and the pace of play was great. We finished in 4 hours and 20 minutes. I also enjoy playing the Lake and Mountain combination.
