Franklin Friday
Slow at first, but breezed thru the back 9. Fairways dry near tee boxes, but mid way and green were in good shape. Please water the tee boxes! Or move them where not like concrete
It would rate higher if you could finish in 4 hours
Greens are still in good condition and fairways aren't too bad despite water cutbacks. A nice place to play if you have plenty of time. A lot of places to look for misplayed shots and people will spend time doing just that.
Franklin Canyon
This great layout needs some serious attention. Tee boxes are terrible and have been like this for years. Dry fairways can be excused due to the water shortage. Pace of play was extremely slow and we waited for every shot on the back nine. Our group left early at the par 3 #17 as we were the 3rd group waiting to tee off. Supposedly this course has new owners/ mgmt and will one day be a course I'll want to play.
A good experience.
We tee off at 8:00 AM and finished by 12:15 Noon.
The fairways are well maintain with a few brown spots. The greens are fast and have a lot breaks. We enjoyed the course and will be back.
Windy
Gusty wind affected ball flight significantly, seemed to be in our face every hole on the back 9. But the course was in good shape and well kept as usual.
First time with golf now
Had a great time the greens were very fast overall condition of the course was excellent had a good time at the game in in just under four hours
NOT TOO SHABBY!!
Hadn't played the course since 1982, same conditions, as I remember, except for the fancy rod iron gate, and one way hwy 4 to get to the course. Considering our 4 year drought, can't complain much. It's an isolated course, without much trouble to get into. Had a fun 5 hour round, but shouldn't expect less, for a Sunday. However, if it wasn't for the 50% Golfnow discount on green fees, I'd only play the course during the week.
Good Value for Bay Area Golf
Played two weeks in a row on a late afternoon and was able to finished in about 4 hours which is great. Overall conditions were good and friends from San Jose enjoyed the new course outside of there home area. Will play this again during the upcoming season.
Fun course
Like this course. Greens werein good to great shape and relatively flat so few challenging breaks. Fairways in good condition and some holes are challenging.
Worth it
I'm from the South Bay so it's was a little drive for us. Well worth it nice layout nice course . Definitely a play again course .
This course is very enjoyable
Really enjoyed playing. If you play from the red tees. do not expect to get a whole lot of yardage gimmies.
Hidden Gem
Played Franklin in 2002. Forgot about it. It is a very good neighborhood course. Try it
Good course-Slow round
Very slow back nine, one group just didn't care how long it took. No Marshal to help out. Good course otherwise
great golf
Enjoyed the day and the course very much, course was in great condition, greens were healing up but putted pretty well.
SLOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW
5 1/2 hour round. Nothing else to say about that. Greens were extremely difficult to read and fast (which I loved). The fairways could use a little more grass, but the course really wasn't the issue for the low rating. The pace of play was extremely slow and I feel it was because a lot of LOW handicappers were out in full.
I suggest playing on a weekday and not a weekend.
Overbooked
Our tee time was 1:15. We didn't get on until 1:40ish and it was very backed up. We only got in 12 holes before it was dark. This time of year with a 1:15 tee time we should be able to play all 18.
Solid course....SLOW pace of play
The course is in solid condition as I remember it. Hasn't changed much since the change in operators.
They were running about 40 minutes late for us to tee off, but the guy in the pro shop was nice enough to offer my group some free range balls. It took 3 hours to finish the first 9 holes! I'm not sure why, but I'm sure the holiday and beautiful weather were contributing factors. The back 9 sped up and we finished in 2 hours as darkness descended.
Bad Experience overall
This is my third time playing at this course and not once have I have been impressed by the staff on this course. This particular time was worst. We booked on GolfNow. The tee time was for 11:00 a.m. The counter staff was unprofessional and flat out told us they are running half hour late. This was told as if they were doing us a favor by delaying us half hour. The course was packed. The round that was suppose to last 4 hours lasted for over 6 hours. The course is beautiful, but it is not Pebble Beach for God's sake. I am never playing at this course again.
This course is enjoyable to play
For a change of outings and with a group of friends, it is a great outing. After the round, the restaurant has great food for the hungry golfer.
