No Fog Delay???

Great course. Second time playing there and course was in good shape! Only problem was some dense fog in the morning which maybe it impossible to see anything on the first 5 holes. Playing shot blind is no fun....playing shots blind on a tough course is not fair.

Course should have held groups up for a fog delay instead of forcing them out to play in the fog.

Went in the pro shop afterwards to let them know about the issue and they didn't say much other than thanks. A bit frustrated but oh well. The world isn't perfect and neither is my golf swing.

Great Course

Love playing here. Always in great shape. The spicy Cinnabar sausage they have in the snack shack is fantastic. Good pace of play. Teed off around 2 and easily finished.

Whoa!

Phenomenal layout! Loved Cinnabar Hills and will definitely be playing it again. Great use of topography, with dramatic elevation changes and playability. Can't wait to play it on a warm summer day.

Fun near San Jose

I really liked the courses I played at Cinnabar Hills. I got to play the Mountain and Lakes nines. Range was a bit outdated and no beverage cart all day. If I were new to the game of golf this course would be difficult. The course seems to be built to match the terrain, but a little too much up and down for me. I would play here again though, and recommend it to others in the single digit handicap range. The rental set I got were all titleist, so that was a bonus.

Wet, Wet, Wet, and Windy

That day was for the brave and really addicted only. Rain poured and left then 15 minutes later here it comes again...Cart path only. I played Lake and Canyon. The course was tough enough and the weather made it impossible to make par on most of the holes.

Playing after a cold rainy day

Course was in great shape despite a lot of rain the day before. Pace was slow, but expected for a Sunday afternoon.

Cinnabar hills offers a great golf experience no matter what.

I like to play there!

The greens are a bit hard right now from the lack of rain and roll faster than normal, but still in great shape. They’re always fixing bad bunkers, greensides and tee boxes so you know he fees aren’t wasted. Always a fun and challenging course.

Will return to play

The course has a great layout and the staff was very friendly . The greens had a lot of adulation and running at about 10-11 but it was a little bumpy.

I would come back and play again
