Golf at sunrise

The pace of play was spectacular, as it was sunrise on a beautiful August morning. The courses were very hard, not for the beginner, but in very good shape. I enjoyed the round, played in 2.5 hours and would do this again. Thanks for the great value at a great venue!

Amazing Find

Was in the area visiting and looking for a place to play. By chance we picked this course and what a great find. I have played some of more well known courses in the bay area and this one more than holds it's own. In fact dollar for dollar this course beats the competition. Every aspect of the operation is 5 star. I found my new favorite course in the bay area/silicon valley

Great layout

Has a day free before flying home. I was looking for a place near San Jose for a couple of us to play. Read good reviews about this place. I chose wisely. Reasonable rates in a beautiful setting. You wouldn’t know you were 20 minutes from downtown.Great layout. Nice mix of holes and the place was in great shape. I’ll definitely come out again next next time I’m in the area.

Course conditions best i have seen for 10 years.

Outstanding and difficult course, but you have to expect that when playing this wonderful Golf Course. Had to wait for a few minutes as we caught up to a tournament at the 6th hole that was ahead of us on the Lake course, after that it was smooth sailing.

Best Course in South Bay

We had a great round of golf at Cinnabar Hills. The course was in excellent condition from tees to greens and the weather was perfect. If you have the flexibility to select days and times to play you can also get great value on the green fees. I highly recommend this course and will be back soon.

Nice & fun course

Nice facility. We played the Lake & Mountain course. I've played here only once & was hoping to play the canyon course again. The greens were firm & quick (how I like them). It was a nice day & nice 18!
