Franklin Canyon Golf Course

no Marshalls to help keep the pace of play. No longer have the cart girls to go around with drinks and food. Course condition was OK but you can tell that they’re getting ready to close this course so it’s been left undone in certain places. Sad ending for a beautiful course.

Nothing is kept up on this course yet they continue to charge people to play here. The tee boxes look like the ground in a random park, not mown, not cared for not watered. The fairways are all underseeded and on hardpack with no sand. They’re also super dry which means your club just scrapes on what feels like rock. The greens were the color green is all I can say. 12 species of invasive weeds and grass adorned these beauties, unmown, unkempt, shameful. It takes an animal with zero self respect and a borderline criminal mind to charge other law-abiding humans to golf here as it feels as if you’re whacking a ball around a public park or a landfill with holes in it. It is tied for worst course in the Bay Area between metro and Napa golf course as well. Never NEVER go here if you have any respect for yourself or the people that you care for.

Well maintained, friendly staff and your cart is ready and waiting for you with your name on it. Leave your clubs in the car and walk down and get your cart then go get your clubs.

Love the course but pace of play is very slow. Always a long wait in back nine.

Windy, makes it a challenge here, course was fair and for the $30 with cart I paid at the shop(not golf now) was all I could ask for out of a course that was once in better condition but for the money was fair today. Course has seen better days but it wasn’t dry as Irons had nice divots with plenty of grass , the rough was thick and in some places new (12) which catches the ball rather than realeasing it off the slope into the canyon,right , and the greens good. I’d play again in these conditions any day.

Hope they don’t close. I noticed lots of trees gone but same as many courses…

OAK Tree on 7 looks good again!

This course is on its last leg. I won't be playing here again until they make major investments into the course. There are just way too many great courses in the Bay Area to play here again.

Franklin Canyon has history for all West County golfers and the layout, design and conditions are great right now. I just hope they are able to keep the course open, (rumors that it will close), because it is an option to play for all Contra Costa residents.

Pace was great, 3.5 hours for 18 holes and we never had to wait or feel pressured to speed up.

Please keep this golf course open. If you close this golf course there will be nowhere else to play in the Bay Area in the East Bay besides Diablo-Creek and Boundary oaks. 🙏🏽

I heard from a fellow player that Franklin is no longer going to be sold- great news for golfers, as this is one of the prettiest layouts around: surrounded by green rolling hills, winding it's way through valleys, and you're going to be accompanied by plenty of wildlife.

Greens were in exceptional condition right now- fast and smooth. Rest of the course a little shaggy. Hopefully they will put some money into fixing it up a little now, although hopefully not so much that prices go up.
