fun course to play on

Very interesting course to play on. Every hole is different and requires different clubs tee off. A good course to practice course management.

You can always make something better...

We made a reservation as a 2-some and arrived in time to hit a few balls and then putt for 10 minutes. Heard our name called while walking to putting area....and the starter said we HAD to go out right away (early) with another 2-some...'so that it would free our scheduled tee time in case a foursome arrived late'. I think that risk is on the business, not the customer. C'mon, Cinnabar Hills!!

The course has great holes

The three nines are always in great shape. Green are smooth and fast. Fairways have grass on them at this time of year. Working GPS on all the carts is great. Its great that all three nines come back to the snack shack. I do enjoy playing this course.

As challenging as you wanted to make it!.

Played in wetter conditions but course was handling the water very well. Greens were in great shape rolling well. Challenging carries off the many elevated tee with wide landing areas. Clubhouse display of golf legends and trophies was extensive and fantastic. Thoroughly enjoyed my experience.

another great round

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 scenic with lots of elevation change.

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.

Great Course, challenging and fair

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

challenging and fun

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.

Cinnabar is one of the greatest course in southern San Jose area

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

Good course / good condition

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.

Beautiful view from the course

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.

Nice layout and fast greens

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...
