Ownership needs to improve on cleanliness of rooms. Phones dont work.

Players check in staff was extremely unfriendly, bordering being rude. They need to attend good public dealings class. Total disaster. Very argumentative. Shall I continue?

Needs a lot of improved maintenance

Mats only for practice range and very old. Golf balls used on range horribly old and beat up. Course in fair condition on fairways. Greens were good but very bumpy. Practice green closed by first tee. Golf carts very old and in bad shape.

Always fun

Franklin has a fun set of holes to play. It doesn't have the best maintenance but the greens manage to stay in good condition. I'd say the course leans toward being easy, but there's a couple of challenging holes and it can be easy to lose a couple of balls.

During the winter time (Dec/Jan) the course can be shaded by the surrounding hills and can get 10 degrees colder than other areas. Bring an extra layer.

Franklin canyon+s are so friendly and very accommodating. I also like to comment on how clean their bathrooms are , and to include bathrooms along the course. Definitely would like to go play it more often on our group outings.

Lots of Hardpan

I only play this course when I'm working on my game and pay around $30. It's never in good shape but it is a good course to walk and get some exercise and it's close to where I live. Keeping score is ill advised as you're frequently hitting off hardpan lies and today it looked as though the greens were recently aerated and done so poorly (i.e., they didn't sand the greens to fill in the aeration holes!). I would recommend this course if you're playing a match play with friends as then your score against par doesn't really matter.
