Cinnabar Hills Golf Club - Mountain/Lake

I enjoyed the challenging layout of Cinnabar. It kept the game interesting and required strategic shots, making it a great experience for golfers of all skill levels.

The pace of play was perfect for my 8AM tee time. We didn't feel rushed, and there was no frustrating waiting around.

Tough but fair course. Not for the weekend hacker. Course is in fantastic shape and greens are well manicured but fast. Scenic views of the valley and delicious food round out a phenomenal golf experience. Best public course in the South Bay.

Course was great, but got stuck behind slow foursome.

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…
