Franklin Canyon Golf Course

What a beautiful course, it’s a bummer they want to put a trailer park here. Talk about a backwards move. Golf is only going to get bigger…

Course needs water in places, but not in the sand traps. Pace was quite slow. Very windy.

This course is going to close in the very near future, wanted to play it one more time. I have played here many times and enjoy my time here. It is nothing spectacular but an enjoyable layout. It has some uphill and downhill, force carries and some don't go long or you are in the can't find my ball territory. If you get a chance play it before it closes.

This course will be closing in less than a month. Its a shame to see this place go, the worker in the club house said it will become an RV park and hiking spot. The place was super busy with tons of golfers, I can't see the owner making more money as a camp spot. The course is fun and challenging at the same time. Food is great and well priced with friendly staff. I hate to see them lose their jobs. Try the place out before it closes.

They should not be closing this course for a trailer park. This place is a GEM, and needs some investment. A very beautiful canyon in the North Bay, wooded, good breeze, sunshine, plenty of promise.

I am pretty new to golf and love coming here. The staff is friendly and the security guard is super diligent in the parking lot. Hopefully I play a better round next time😂

First time at Franklin, I’d definitely recommend it to everyone I know. Heard they’re closing done, I hope that they stay open.

Fun course. Sad to hear that it will be closing permanently next month.

The course is to be converted into an RV park. Last day of golf is May 29, 2024. The seats on all the carts need repair.

It is with heavy heart that I write, but as of this review Franklin Canyon will be closing with the last date to play on May 29. While the course can torment thos who struggle to find the fairway it's a great course and you should play it one last time

So I paid 26 dollars for my round walking. You can 36 dollars for a cart. I like to walk. I just prefer it. So I stick to this but whether you walk or take a cart it excellent value for money. I am located in mill valley the journey time for me was just 33 minutes. Its very easy to get to and is 90% freeway driving very simple. There is a driving range and putting greens located very close to the first and 10 th tees so whether your starting on either 9 its easy to warm up and get to your tee time. Me of course I arrived last minute. I feel the course itself is a really nice balanced course. It feels wide open and gives you a great chance to attack off the tee. But there are still a lot of dangers that lurk with out of bounds and penalty areas. So don't feel too comfortable. The hole lengths are reasonable off the white tees its gives you a balance of hitting mid irons and wedges into greens. Which is nice. The par 3's are a nice length too ranging from wedge to 7 irons. Nothing too taxing again from the white tees. If you really want a challenge the blues are at your disposal. The condition of the course was very good. Was the first time since the rain when I felt I could play as it lied. A couple of wetter patches but nothing crazy. The greens were in nice condition too the rolled so well. Downhill puts were treacherous. My overwhelming feeling of this course is the value. It's 26 dollars. Does it hold the spectacular views of some other courses around. Probably not. But if you are going for a game of golf and not a sight seeing adventure. It really is the best value for money I have encountered. You can go here with friends and clown around or play a really competitive match. I will definitely go back again..

Generally like this course but on this day it was too wet to be mowed and the front 9 was especially bad. Grass was so tall that everyone lost balls in the ruff and sometimes on the fairway. It needs a few more dry days so that they can get the course in shape

I have played this course several time over the past 30 years.

I was shocked to find that it is closing in May of 2024.

Too bad it is turning into a RV park.

Course layout is good but the spring was so wet that the front 9 had the fairway mowed but not the rough so if you ball went into the rough it was hard to find if not impossible. Rough over 4 inches tall and had standing water in some areas. If we get 5 warmer days with no rain they should be able to get it mowed. The back nine was better but still had some areas where it was hard to find your ball.
