Forgiving and fun

I’ve been struggling and this is what the doctor ordered. Big fairways and chances for recoveries from bad shots. Staff was efficient. Good day out.

Tooooo slow

This is a nice course but pace was too slow due to no ranger. Cart girl quit at 1:30. Hmmmm...just when its the hottest and when refreshments would be wanted the most. Bad management decisions. GolfNow price was good but not if you dont enjoy the round.

We love the feel of your course. It’s open, yet challenging.

Thank you.

Nice Experience

Such a nice course at such a value price. We made last minute tee times and were pleasantly surprised by the facility. Course was in excellent condition for this late in the season. Staff was friendly. Only problem was I couldn't figure out how to get range balls out of the machine. Guess I'm getting old!

Very poor customer service

Rode the Blacks (6720/72.1/127) mid day with Chuck and Tom using GM in slightly over 3.5H. Sunny, breezy and 108 made me glad the POP was moving until we caught a slower 4some on the back.

Tees had decent coverage with few unfixed divots.

Fairways semi lush with some brown areas. Mostly good to play from.

Rough semi lush mowed down low and not that penal.

Sand traps very nicely maintained with thick, good quality white marble sand.

Large Bermuda greens putted medium speed and are firm. Few ball marks and reasonably smooth for late Summer Bermuda.

Nice, all grass driving range. Basic carts do not have GPS or ports for electronics. Plenty of ice/water stations on the course. Santa Rosa would be a challenging course to walk with many tees a long way from the last green. Recommended.

Customer service is usually excellent from everyone here. Quick efficient check-in and no on course services as usual here. Normally I don't expect much from golf course customer service so do not get riled up if it is just okay or even sub par. I rarely comment about what I perceive to be poor customer service unless it is REALLY bad.

Chuck/I had a GM voucher good for 18 + replay. We are teeing off on #8 in round #2 and a cart guy drives out and very gruffly states he needs the cart, he wants to go home? We tried to say we have 11 more holes... didn't even finish the sentence and he says he is taking the cart and that they should have told us when we checked in that carts had to be in by 5pm? Can't we just leave the cart by the cart barn? No, has to be in now was the response. So in 108 degree weather, Chuck & I walk/carry holes 8/9 and call it a day 9 holes short of what we intended.

No where on the voucher, when I made the tee time or @ check in was it mentioned that carts had to be in by 5pm? We were not allowed to tee off until noon because the men's club had blocked out the morning tee times. So basically we had 5 hours to get in how ever many holes period?

That translates to me as this. They want the extra $$$ that they can generate partnering with a 3rd party vendor using their marketing machine in their slow periods... offering 18 + replay deals to entice buyers. But they do not really want to honor all that the voucher is good for if you are restricted to a 5 hour window to use it?

Santa Rosa

Rode the Blacks (6720/72.1/127) early morning with David and Kaitlyn using GM in slightly over 3.5H. Fun watching David play every par 5 as a par 4 1/2. Different game when you are on or beside every par 5 in 2. Partly cloudy, calm and 112.

Tees nicely maintained with very few unfixed divots. Some almost immaculate and others thin with the heat.

Fairways mostly lush with some brown areas. good to play from.

Rough mowed down low and not that penal.

Sand traps very nicely maintained with thick, good quality white marble sand.

Large greens putted medium speed and are smooth and firm. Few ball marks.

Customer service is usually excellent from everyone here. Quick efficient check-in and Mike is a very friendly Marshall. No on course services. Nice, all grass driving range. Basic carts do not have GPS or ports for electronics. Plenty of ice/water stations on the course. Santa Rosa would be a challenging course to walk with many tees are a long way from the last green. Recommended.

Terrible terrible conditions

This course has terrible conditions, gardeners in every single hole literally. And the woman in the front says that just the normal at this golf course. Nothing but loud blowers and muddy fairways.

This course is very playable, just finished 36 holes. I play here often and find the employees easy to deal with. Nothing a golf course can do about gardeners working in back yards surrounding the course.
