Franklin Canyon Golf Course

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.

We played Franklin Canyon off Highway 4 as a foursome and finished in about 4.5 hours.

Good views of surrounding hills, lots of birds and some wildlife.

The course is a mixture of some level fairways and some hillside, greens were mowed and in good condition, fairways typical California.

Overall an interesting combination of trees , sand traps and rough.

High handicappers, bring some extra balls.

Overall a great course and priced reasonably.

Worth the drive.

Great value on a very nice golf course. Challenging yet fair!

I stayed away from ththis s course for several months due to poor course conditions. Fairways st that time were hard and bare with n many areas. It was probably due to drought conditions.

I was pleasantly surprised that this time the fairways were much improved. You could actually take a divot with your pitches. Greens were relatively good although not sure on what they would read on stimp Meyer.

Enjoyed my round.

Took 5hr 15 min to play. Need I say more. No ranger seen all day to speed up play.

Golf now is a good website for finding golf courses. Unfortunately, there was no advanced notification by Golf Now or Franklin Canyon that was restricted to back nine play due to aeration on the front nine and we had to pay $29.50 to walk. Oh well, win some or lose some.

I love this course but every time I give it another chance it dissappoints due to the pace of play. The marshalls just drive around and do nothing to encourage slow groups to keep moving.

The tee boxes need some work but the course was pretty good and the pace was good as well.

I will play agin the range needs some work and the balls were a little run down,but it was fine to warm up and get going.

We traveled 30 miles not knowing what to expect but the greens and two golf course members was worth the drive.

Kim and Chang walked nine holes and we wished that they would of ride and play 18, good golf but great company.

We played Franklin Canyon in Hercules at noon and

the pace was around 4 hours.

With the starter blessing we started on the 10th tee

which helped.

The course is overall in good condition, green were

mowed and rolled, fairways had some bare spots,

which is typical California.

Great views of surrounding hills, wildlife, lots of

trees.

Great value for money. Tee boxes need work right now but. Other than that good conditions all round.

Played 9 holes with my son Had a great day. Not too slow but took almost 2 hours. We’ll be back.
