Franklin Canyon Golf Course

I’ve played this course often. But generally not in summer months. Their source of water is practically non existent. Fairways do not appear to be watered under 150 yards out. Areas that are watered were in poor condition. Trying to find a patch of weed to place your ball on was difficult. Wait till season brings some rain before playing.

took over 3 hours for 9 holes

there was no marshal to move the pace faster

I have enjoyed this course 3 times this past year.

Not too challenging unless the wind is up for a mid handicap player.

I have found both the employees friendly and knowledgeable.

Have played this course many times before Have always liked it.

FC in good condition with breeze providing relief from warm June temps, but a challenge on some holes. Hot deal was great value. Just under 4 1/2 hours with cart. Single walk-on joined and was a nice guy. All in all a good day and would return.

A 4 hour round on a Friday. Nuff said!!! It was in the middle of the hot streak but the course was in perfect condition, no dead grass, and the greens we're actually slow not super fast like everywhere else in the bay when it gets hot. Staff was super nice and even helped us save some $!!! It was 105 in the bay but only 90 tucked away in Franklin Canyon. Didn't wait ONCE the entire round, not even a second. I'll be back, so you people stay away; let's keep this a gem :-P five stars!!!

Played Franklin Canyon yesterday with my son and 2 others. Knew we might be in for a long day as it was a Saturday and the group in front of us seemed to be new to the game. But thats not a problem as long as folks try to keep pace and maintain the etiquette that makes golf a great game. But as I was standing on the 8th tee after over 3 hours on the course and asked a marshall for assitance in asking the group ahead to try and keep an appropriate pace of play (they were 1 and 1/2 holes behind the group in front of them at that point) I was not helped but lectured about how 'everyone has their own level and pace of play'. Wow, no concern for the dozens of players behind these guys whose round was being ruined. Pace of play is the number one problem in golf today and this marshall, whose whole existence is to keep things moving on the course, just blows me off. Have them skip a hole to catch up for heavens sake, thats the norm most everywhere else. Very unfortunate that a decent course 10 minutes from my home will never see me again because they wish to maintain the unalienable right of they few to ruin the day for the many. I won't be back.

Fun and well kept course. Lots of hazzards so you have to be accurate otherwise you will lose a lot of golf balls.

We played Franklin Canyon off Highway 4 in Hercules at

noon as a twosome and finished in about 4 hours.

The course is a mixture of level and hillside surfaces with views of surrounding hillside, some water and some mature trees.

The greens were in good condition, fairways were green with some bare spots, but generally good.

Sandtraps are being worked on as we played.

Overall, a good value.

We enjoyed the course very much as the weather was nice and the pace was smooth.

Franklin Canyon is ripe for play right now. Quick greens that are true when above hole, tricky sideways. 1, 2, 13, and 17 are quick right now.

Had the French Fries, ask for well done you will not be disappointed . Decent bar.

Back to the course, back nine from back tees will put some trees in your face. Work ball left right and high and low, all the shots. Fun stuff.

I was asked to pay one dollar for water fee which I thought the round was “paid in full”. The amount was not the issue, but the added procedure was terrible. I was not prepared to carry money at that time!

In the past I've enjoyed playing this course it has a very interesting layout. I played on April 26th and the course condition has really deteriorated in the last couple months. The tea boxes are in horrible condition and the fairways are already drying out. I would not recommend playing this course.
