Starter kid has issues

We had a 1:00 Tee time and was ready to start when the starter kid came out to the teebox and said he has been calling us and to pick up the ball and meet them in the fairway, This is like 12:55 and nobody around and we never seen no one all day for 3 holes back. The kid has issues that need to be addressed by the Management

Effort showing

The course maintenance has improved with the good weather.

I’m not sure they realize we review the tee boxes and greens.

This course has seen better days

Course conditions are not great. Tee boxes are a mess. Carts are in very poor condition. Just not a great overall experience. Hadn’t played there in 10 years or so. Won’t be back.

Franklin May 2023

The pace of play was exceptional. We played 18 holes in 2hr 25 min. The greens were fine, the sand needs work and some of the tee boxes were especially bad.

Fun course with good view

Nice setup against the hills but the course is not that hilly, I would prefer to walk if play here again. The green and fairway are in fair condition but some places are wet and muddy due to recent heavy rains in bay area. Looking forward to play again in dry condition.

What is everyone else talking about?

Decided to play here again after reading recent reviews. No hyperbole, this was one of the worst course conditions I’ve played in. Understandably, it has been an unusually wet winter, but the course is unplayable. Can’t believe they charge $71 on the weekend for a glorified mud bath. I get there being mud in the rough, but on almost every fairway? Terrible drainage and ground management. I’m a weekend golfer, but I will not play here again until the late spring/summer, if at all. What an absolute disaster out there.

Great value fun course

With the recent storms the conditions on the course are great.

The greens, tee boxes and fairways are luscious in green.

The pace of play during the week is great, during the weekends it can slow down.
