Franklin Canyon Golf Course

Greens were in good shape. Tee boxes need work. Good value, but pace of play is always slow.

The only complaint was getting jacked an additional $2/player over the fee and service charge for "irrigation". All fees need to be articulated beforehand. What's next? a healthcare assessment for the range attendants? I guess FCGC didn't get enough rain this winter...

VERY DIRTY and EXPENSIVE RANGE BALLS. MANAGEMENT SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS?

Great to be back playing, and this is one spot that I like to play. Started off a little slow, tournament went out in front of us, so the front 9 took about 2:45, but the back took only 2. Marshall was out doing his job. Still a little soggy, muddy areas in the fairways, but they were considered ground under repair. Greens were in good shape, rolling well. Great deal on golf now. With all this rain we've had it's going to be a fun year. Couple more weeks and it should be perfect!

The course was in a good condition. The greens were aerated a couple of weeks ago and they were in fair condition. One issue was e has two riders and one walking and Actually golfnow could not accommodate this transaction in one shot so I ended up making two reservations on two different T times. That is a short fall of golfnow that they need to fix. The course staff were accommodating to fix the different T times. Course was heavily booked so the pace was slow. They need to spread out it a bit more.

Played 4/1 at 7:22.

You'd think at 722 that you'd blow through...not so much.

Could be the layout of first four holes (par 5, 3, short 4, 3) but it definitely drags.

The marshals didn't do anything, just drive around.

All things considered the conditions were good, I just the marshals cared about more than sitting in their carts. Waiting on a forsome who has the entire hole ahead of them open...unnecessary.

The course is in the best condition that it has been in a very long time, possibly ever.

The greens are in good shape all the rain has made conditions soft cart paths only (it is way to soft to drive on) . The spring at Franklin Canyon is spectacular very Green! The players that play bomb and gouge are going to loose a lot of balls if you play that way bring plenty of Ammo!

Went out at 0700 and had a fast paced round. Conditions were a bit swampy due to large amounts of rain earlier in the week. Greens aerated recently (last week or so). Lots of Par 3s and 5s.

This is one of my favorite courses. Last time I played, 6 weeks ago, the pond on on #9 was overflowing, flooding the approach to #9 green, which I parred anyway. That I would book in such conditions shows that I am a Mudder, 78 years old at that!. Yesterday, conditions were way drier and I managed an 80, although playing as a single.

As living just outside the Lake Chabot course in Oakland, I will continue to make the one hour journey to Franklin Canyon as I enjoy it so much.

i like Franklin, but the tee boxes were in bad shape.

Front nine greens were also hit or miss.

Still muddy!

Driving range was closed on a Saturday morning so we got there an hour early just to wait around. The extra taken out of the amount online was spread through out all golfers so it was more difficult to pay. Every tee box was hard dirt, the marshal was rude, no cart girl, the "meal included" only consisted of a hot dog.. no drink, no chips.

I played there yesterday...03.09.2017...We were not told carts were on the path only when we booked...then came time to play...I lost 6 golf bolls hit on the fairway...ON THE FAIRWAY...THE COURSE IS IN SUCH BAD SHAPE IT IS HORRENDOUS...I tried to speak with the general Manager todaqyn 03.10.2017...he was obnoxcious...defensive and utterly unsymapathetic to me and told me to stay off his course and not play there ever again...he copared his course to Tilden Park, which I won't play because i know its drainage is horrible...when I reminded him that other public courses charging approximately the same amount...such as Hiddenbrooke, Eaglre Vines and Chardonay, Indian Valley...had no issues ...Kyles response was they have better drainage...of course they do...why don't you do something about it Mr. general Manager Kyle...instead of ragging on me...he also told me that he played there the day before and lost only one ball out of bound and when I told him I lost the balls in the fairway he belligerently asked which fairway...I tld him 3, 13, 14, and a couple i cant even remember and said oh yes we know about that...sorry never playing here again

Franklin Canyon is a great track once it dries out from all the excessive rain

Franklin hasn't changed since the last time I played several years ago. They were a little overpriced for the very wet conditions but all things being considered the course was in good condition.

I received an email saying that the course was drained and it was not lots of plug balls

Franklyn caynon is a good all around golf course. During the drought it was pretty dry but now that it's been raining, great course.
