Way over priced

Franklin canyon used to be a great course to play. I don’t know who is running this establishment but 70$? I know it’s Sunday and everyone wants to play, I just don’t understand the price gouging? Then you can play for 35$ at 2.08 on the same day. Maybe it’s time to readjust the green fees. You would make tons of people happier!!!!

Good Course?!?!?!

I love playing this course but the course needs some love. Fairways are beat up and not in great condition. Green's shockingly are great. Tee boxes are for the most part good.

Greens are bad right now

Still like this course, it's where I started to learn and play. Course conditions could be better, with greens uncut and unrolled, they were rolling slowly and were affected by the grain. Lots of dry spots around the greens, but fairways were pretty healthy looking for the most part.

for the price and a relaxed day of working on my swing, it was good

Turkey Haven

This used to be my home course but not my favorite golf course in the area. Lot of potential to be a great course if properly maintained. Overall, it's a haven for wildlife especially turkeys. Brent rocks!!!
