Franklin Canyon Golf Course

First time here and it is awesome...the course is layed out really well with wide fairways and nice greens.

I played here in Feb. it was lush and green, since the water restrictions this year, F.C's only grass is on the Tees and greens (your drives roll far on the dry fairways). Hopefully, we get a good winter and it'll get back to normal.

Here for a practice round with others preparing for local county championship coming up. Course suffering a bit from drought conditions as are many others. Fairways and tee boxes mostly feeling the pain, greens in fairly decent shape, though. Bunkers appear to have been slightly renovated and in good shape. Price is dynamite and aside from some poor lies due to drought/lack of watering a nice challenge and fun to play. Once drought problems subside would give the course a better than average rating

Even with the severe water problems, FC is in Drought mode and handling it well. Fairways are brown but it gets greener as you approach the greens. Your drives off the tee roll longer due to the 'brownage'. But the greens are in great shape.

Course is in poor condition, not really worth the money.

Pace of play..waited average of 15 min. entire front 9...had a foursome in front of us waiting...and the foursome in front of them just teeing off....carts everywhere! Course was dirt with a few sprinkles of grass. Back nine it picked up to an average of 5 minutes per hole....best part of the day was the lunch and it's service!

This course has a nice mix of long holes and medium distance holes. I have only been golfing for a couple years and have been to about 15 courses, this is by far my favorite. It is not to easy and not to difficult. The staff is nice and the food is good. I'd suggest when you get to the 9th tee call in and order up a club sandwich and fries, they are delicious! They maintain the course really good, the greens are very nice and the tee boxes are nice and green also. I would recommend this course to anyone, experienced or beginner.

Conditions were not excellent overall- the fairways are fried and lots of hard dirt areas made play more challenging than usual. Several tee boxes under repair and the temp. tee areas were not great (hard to stick a tee into concrete!). However, given the conditions I believe it was not bad. The greens were excellent and the putting/chipping areas around the clubhouse were still nice too. It would have been nice if SOME of the wall-washing stations had water in them- they were all bone dry! - maybe at least every other hole? If they're not filled because of the drought then get rid of them- don't leave them out empty- they are useless dry. Once we get out of this drought this will be one of my favorite local courses again.

Had a 5:37 tee time and teed off at 5:45.We had a single in front of us who played very fast. Pro shop opened late. Played the first 9 in an hour and 25 minutes. The back nine was another story. On hole 13 there was a twosome followed by a foursome followed by a twosome stacked up in front of us. After 20 minutes we skipped holes 13,14, and 15. We played 16 and 17 and then had to wait again on 18 for a two some to play. Afterwards we stopped in the pro shop and asked why this happened. The answer of, "I just work here. " didn't cut it. The man then opened the window and made a flippant remark to my partner which spurred on an argument. This should not happen when you are teeing off at 5:45. So our answer to "I just work here." is "WE WON'T GOLF HERE."

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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 .

Really enjoyed playing. If you play from the red tees. do not expect to get a whole lot of yardage gimmies.
