A Great Day of Golf

The course was beautiful. Most fairways were incredible and the greens were great. The staff in the pro shop was extremely friendly. The starter was the best. I haven’t played this course in years and i was pleasantly surprised at how nice it was. Can’t wait to play again.

just okay

long drive from the valley for okay conditions...the course has character but the conditions are below par. There was standing water on several holes, gopher traps everywhere and greens are inconsistent and spotty.

Nice course.

This is a good layout. Challenging too. We waited an hour for the frost to thaw before we could get started. Pace of play after that was good except on #3. It is a longish par 3 and there were five groups stalled on the tee box at a time. We played 18 holes in just over 5 hours.

This place really needs more parking. There is only a tiny parking lot for all the golfers and any hotel guests.

Francisco golf course

Course is in good shape. Oly issue is with the firmness of the greens. They are too hard. You cannot hit an approach shots into the green and get in to stick. Ball does not even leave divot.

Basic golf

Easy to find, needs better signage to get you to the pro shop, easy check in, fair price on golf now, carts fair only, no sand for divots, water bucket for our towels, water for us on course, tees fair and sometimes long, fairways with furrows of grass, bunkers with the most soft sand we have played since here, greens putt ok and at least seem pretty smooth, is pretty basic golf but only if price is right

Just another golf day.

The Weather was great and the course was in good condition. Unfortunately , the pace of play led to a 5 hour round.... but I realize that is a hit and miss issue. Staff were super friendly and courteous. Price for the round was reasonable.

Nice condition

Got out early

A little colder than normal

A little wetter than you would like

Balls had mud on them in the fairway

Greens were faster than normal for Francisco

All in all not bad for the price

Rough condition

The course is in fairly poor condition. I know they cater to cheap senior golfers, but I'd love to see them raise prices by $5 a round and apply the extra revenues to getting the course in shape. I'd like to hope that most of their customers would pay another five bucks in order to have decent grass on the fairways, aprons, and greens. Playing it in this condition is just a bad experience.

It was disappointing enough that I will not come back, unless I hear that they've shaped it up. Mission Royale across town is in better condition, in the same general price range on GolfNow.

The course was in fair condition, there was a few brown spots but realatively green. The course has a sewer smell on holes 10 & 17 Very strong on 17.

We waited on just about every tee boxes, I think they overbook the course, Tee times were 7 minutes apart. They should be more like 9 to 10 minutes apart. The par 3's were backed up by 2 groups waiting ro play.

Golf now sent me the email to review the course when we were still on 16, could have been better pace. Decent greens and fairways. Price was very reasonable. I’m playing TPC tomorrow.
