Immaculate

Excellent conditioning from tee to green. greens were hard and fast. Sand was on the hard side but fair. First time playing so we were challenged with blind shots that hid the water and sand on the back 9. The marshal was great, very helpful and he kept it moving so we finished at 4 hours. Green fees on the high side but, the Santa Rosa course is as well conditioned as the top courses in the area. Nice practice area. No one was wiping down our clubs with a wet towel expecting a tip at the end. Maybe I’m just cheap…

Amazing condition and fun track

Course was in excellent condition and is fairly open. There’s a few short fun holes that you can’t see the hazards from the tee but make great risk reward holes. My son and I are a 1 and 6 HC and played terrible but this course is not super challenging. The views are spectacular and greens roll true. Would definitely play here again. We got a really good rate for day of booking. They either didn’t have a lot of play or they spread the tee times out far enough that it felt like we had the course to ourselves. We caught up to someone on the 18th but never had to wait.

Open but need to think a little

Rough is green but not too long. Water comes in to play off tees on some holes requiring non-driver. Overall a pleasant experience.

Great course conditions and pace of play

Brought a friend for her first time for a 1 pm tee time at Santa Rosa. Upon check in found out they were doing a shotgun and I was the first of 2 groups on Hole 2. It worked out fine with our cart partners and soon there was no one in front or behind us! Finished before regulation. I forgot my water bottle and there were no cups at the club house like they normally have. After playing 8 holes, there were no cups at the turn. However, there was a course asst who offered to bring me a cup of ice water to the 10th hole. That was a lifesaver and saved me from going to the club house to buy bottled water.

Nice course

Nice course. Pace of play was a little slow but not terrible. We got finished around 4:30 and my wife wanted to buy a hat and pro shop was closed. No beverage service on course was also frustrating

Beautiful Course

Our first time here and honestly was so amazed at the beauty and the greenery of the course.

So well maintained and the weather was absolutely beautiful.

We will treat ourselves as often as we can 🙏

We unfortunately did not get back in time to enjoy anything other than the stunning course.

First time player of this course.

Great layout of course. Good blend of easier par fours with more challenging par fours. I wish there was a layout of holes on the backside of the score card. Got into some water troubles because of no prior knowledge of the course. The course was gorgeous and very green everywhere. Rough not too penalizing, thank goodness. Overall I enjoyed the course and the round.
