Franklin Canyon Golf Course

I have never played a course so poorly maintained in my life. Every hole starts off with 150 yards of hardpan. If you miss the green and don’t land in a trap it’s hardpan. The fairways are absolute trash with large swaths of hardpan throughout, and it just got worse with each hole. This course is an absolute disgrace.

As a new golfer, I found this course to be good. I liked the pace of play even though I find myself to be at an avg speed, I have a friend who is a little slow. We didn't feel rushed and didn't have to wait long to tee off at the next hole. The course was under construction the day I was there and the staff was tending to the greens so I didn't have the best conditions when we played. I got my first birdie on this course which I was pumped for!

Course needs plenty of work. Fairways very dry. Greens in decant shape. No bargain for the rates.

Basically OK. Fairway is not so good otherwise I give 3.6 point.

My first round at Franklin Canyon. Staff was friendly. Pace of play was a bit slow but we managed to keep moving along with only a few delays.

Course was in relatively good shape, greens mostly in very good condition.

We'll visit again.

Course was dry but playable. I normally hit my driver about 220-230 yards. Hole 15 is long, fairly straight, and downhill--my drive went 290 yards. There can be an advantage to dry conditions. Finished round in 3-1/2 hours...faster than usual.

We finished our tee time around 4pm and went back to proshop and ask the staff and we can pay for a repeat but he won’t let us. We ask why “ he said we suppose to go home after we finished because of covid 19 prorocol , thats why that they wont us go again”. So far this the only golf course in Bay Area wont let us repeat.

Good fairways, good greens.. could have more special rates

First time played, cool layout. A lot of hard dirt “ pan “ all around, really have to make ball first contact , and the greens could be better. With that said, we had a great time, it was a challenge. You do get rewarded for good shots! Great service.. nice test.

(Slope is true.. play the whites unless your a 6)

Great staff, food and patio open, greens in really good shape, these guys are working hard to provide a good golf experience

Course conditions are spotty at best. Baer patches on many fairways, greens were slow, tee boxes need improvement.

Not worth the price. Staff member named Randy was completely rude and disrespectful following a misunderstanding regarding tee time pairings and other employees. Absolutely would not recommend.

First, they've raised the prices to take advantage of the virus. Other courses have their pre-virus pricing - not Franklin Canyon... no senior rates, twilight rates, etc. Other issues:

1. The grass is dead and/or dying through lack of watering. Greens have brown spots and fairways are brown and hard. Can't they spend a bit of their exorbitant green fees on watering the course?

2. Zero communications with members. I am a Canyon club member and there has been zero information emailed to members.

3. We paid for range balls in advance and that has been withdrawn. Almost $100 taken away!

4. Tee boxes are not maintained with hundreds of used tees littering everywhere.

I've enjoyed this course for 15 years and it has been run onto the ground. Don't waste your money, there are plenty of other courses in much better shape.
