Franklin Canyon

The course condition was extremely wet and it appeared to be over watered which was evident by some seriously wet areas, some quite close to the greens. The grill was undermanned, I entered for drink two at a table but no staff in attendance, waited about ten minutes then walked out.

Happy at Franklin!

Beautiful, relaxing atmosphere. Could use a bit more grass on the fairways.

Course is terrible shape. Worst kept greens I’ve seen all summer.

Great place

Really liked this course. Not the fanciest place, but great staff and a good course.

This course USED to be a gem!

We used to love golfing this course as its location is beautiful and the course layout is challenging. But today, the course is nothing of what it used to be. The fairways are not existent. Pretty much a dirt track and what green there is is tight and spotty. The tee boxes are totally torn up and unleveled. The putting greens are totally inconsistent and need some rolling and love. We won’t be back. Definitely not worth the money!

Not for us

We didn’t have a bad time. Greens were nice, pace was great, but fairways had a lot of debris and course layout overall was not the greatest. The cart paths were super bumpy and need a repair. Probably wouldn’t come back.
