Cinnabar Hills Golf Club - Mountain/Lake

Cinnabar consistently provides a great value and a great experience. Course is challenging but fair, i.e not target golf. You can recover from a less than stellar shot most times. Green are large with undulations and are rolled nicely with good speed. I was paired with a husband/wife pair and it was a great time.

Cinnabar Hills is somewhat challenging with a variety of hole types among three-nine hole layouts. The greens are generous in size, but tricky. Fairways are generally wide. Several holes require carry to reach the fairway. I've played Cinnabar Hills many times over the past 5 years and have always found the conditions good.

This is a great course that I highly recommend. The scenery, design and condition are the highlights. The back tees are 6600-6900, depending on the particular combination of nines (27 holes total), but many of the holes require precise tee shots and/or layups. The par threes are all extremely challenging. The greens are large, lots of character, fast and extremely true. The staff are professional and friendly. Great experience

Perhaps the best non private golf course in thr Bay Area. Best greens for sure.

Course can be pricey at times but with three 9 hole layout the pace of play is always good. One of the best public courses in sj area.

Need to hit drives well and play out of bunkers. Coarse is well kept, gps on the carts( a must in my opinion), and if your playing the canyon coarse bring a camera for a priceless view.

played this course for the first time and had a relaxed game.
since i'm from germany and came w/o my clubs i had to rent which was unreasonable expensive (35 $).

I enjoyed this course with discounted price to 38$ after 2PM.

Course is beautiful and in great condition. Greens are fast and difficult

Green is maintained well, speed was quite fast. But tee boxes were needed maintained more.

For being December, this course was well kept and a great challenge. Great Tee Boxes, Fairways Clean, Hazards prepped, and the Greens were just wonderful. Would play here anytime, any day.

Have played course several times, always have liked the condition
and layout. I would love to play more often and I will if I continue to
get a the price I have gotten from GolfNow.
Fairways, greens and sand are well maintained, greens have good
speed and are very challenging. Course knowledge is very helpful
on this trac.

This course is one of the best course we can enjoy the view from the course. From some of the hole on the hill, we can see the whole view of 27 holes. It's really nice! The course is also enjoyable, challenging enough.

I like all three 9's here but Canyon and Mountain are favorites. Really nice course but always seems to be a little attitude in the pro shop... maybe they don't like golf.now customers...

Friendly and efficient staff. Teed off right on time. Met some nice folks and spent a fun afternoon. The course is challenging and fun and conditions of fairways and greens were superb. I look forward to playing it again..

Very creative design and plays tough for average golfer like myself with a 12 index. Recommend spending time on practice green and looking at hole from all sides to read breaks. Carts have gps with lots of info to assist with not only club selection but where to hit the ball. You must layup on several holes and hit long enough to clear ravines on others. Enjoyed this course a lot and hope to play Lakes nine. Played Mountain and canyon. Well done!

I try to play this course every time I'm in the San Jose area. All three nines are fun, the course is well maintained, and the greens are fast. The course is away from the pressure of civilization, with no homes surrounding it. Play the right tees and you'll love the golf experience.

This is a course I really like playing. However on this date they had set the Cinnabar tees almost back to the championship tees. Never had seen that before, which made the tee shots quite difficult and 2nd shots 3-woods. In some cases I still could not reach the green. All groups playing were having trouble, which accounts for the unusually long rounds played. They should have warned us and others beforehand and suggested playing from forward tees for anyone not with a single digit handicap. The greens which are always fast, were unusually fast, which added to the stroke count in our foursome, except for one player, a 4-handicap.

excellent public access course

unfortunately, played it shortly after aeration and sanding

I have played at this course a few times, and really enjoyed it.

The greens were tricky. It was aerated not long ago. Holes and sands. But, still pretty fast, especially, when playing Mountain course first.

Overall, a 5-star experience. Giving it 4-star for the recently aerated green.
