Franklin Canyon Golf Course

The day on which we played was sunny and with light breezes. The course was slightly wet from three days rain. The fairways were cut and slightly slow, not much run out. First cut was a bit grabby, and deep enough to make it hard to find balls that landed four or five feet off the short grass. The greens were very slightly bumpy and were fairly true.

Staff was helpful, and had a regular marshall keeping play pace up. midday round took us about 4.5 hrs

I especially like the way you get a little of the hill playing and the ground level. They seem to mix it up just right for me. Thanks for a great round.

Great course, good conditions. Stacked golfers pretty tight. One staff member for food and drinks. One person running back and forth from food to bar. Long waits. No beverage cart. This is a new issue with this course. Might be awhile for me to return.

Even though I still can't carry the ravine on 17 I had a great time. The pace of play was excellent, the Marshall moved everyone along smoothly.

First time playing Franklin Canyon. I was pleasantly surprised at the course layout and the condition of the greens. Pace of play was very slow for a Tuesday 10:00 am tee off. I will play it again, the value is certainly there.

same as above but course in good shape

Greens were in great shape

Course was in very good condition, fairways much better then expected. Very satisfied with the round.

Many areas have ground under repair. Many of the tee boxes need rework. The greens are in fairly good shape.

I had played the course in September, before the rain, and it was very dry (as expected). Today the course was in great shape despite the few temporary tee boxes (much needed). The greens rolled well and the fairways were in good shape.

It was real cold that day. The fairways are under repair and should come around in a few weeks. The greens were in good condition and rolled nice. I'll be back.

The staff here were friendly and laid back and the carts were nice. The pace of play was horrible and about the worse I've seen at any course but the value of this course and challenges were well worth it. There's tree hazards some sand traps and a bit of water. I would definitely go back for the twilight which was a huge value!

Drought is tuff. Greens were very slow. Still had a great day

I have played this course many times and for the last year or so it has been getting worse, tee boxes uneven, and only about 10-20% of fairways have any "playable" grass on them. Lay out is fun and luckily the greens were decent. I understand we have a drought but at least all the other near by courses have maintained better playing conditions for a better price. It's a shame because it's a fun lay out.

This course is a cow farm. No water and yet still chagring the out ragus price.
There is no ruff and no fairways and no sand in the bunkers.omg they. Need to close this course.
The staff didn't even attempt to respond to the. Extremely poor and sorry course.
There is no middle of the fairway. They are gone and hittjng off dirt.
Do not play here .its a complete lie..

Had read several positive reviews so thought I'd give Franklin Canyon a try. Staff was very pleasant and did get out early, that was about the only positive. The course is in terrible condition. Fairways were atrocious, barely any grass, lots of hard pan and mud. Greens were at least green but very spongey and apparently no one repairs ball marks. Pace of play was the worst i have experienced in the Bay Area. We were stacked up front and back with the group in back hitting into us regularly. Left after 12 holes and over 3.5 hours. There are so many other public options in the area that are in better condition and better attended -- Peacock Gap, Rooster Run, Chardonnay, San Geronimo, etc. I would definitely not play there again nor would I recommend to others.

Poor conditions of the course were not their fault, the drought has take it's toll, but the fairways approaching the greens made wedge shots like hitting off asphalt. One real unfortunate incident was that my partner's car got broken into in the parking lot , so don't leave your valuables out. Really sad because it's a fun course and I'd still recommend it.

The fairways and tee boxes are suffering from the drought. Several of the fairways were close to half bare dirt. However the greens were in very good condition so it made the round playable.

Pace of play wasn't bad, round was right around 5 hours.

I normally play in the north bay and occasionally travel to Vallejo for a round. For the price there are many better options in the area. This was my first time playing here, and not a great first impression. The course layout was pretty good, and is be curious to see the the course is like after some winter rains and se grass.

Dry, dry, dry!!! It was once a great course,
but the drought has claimed the course.

A lot of dirt patches, although all greens were well maintained,,,
