Nice but slow

Interesting and fairly challenging course. The only complaint would be the slow play. Our tee time was around 1:00(in winter), and it still took 4 1/2 hours. A nice course though winding through the hills with no adjacent housing.

Interesting layout. Not long but need to keep ball inplay is key.

I'm glad that Franklin has gotten more competitive with their rates relative to surrounding homes in the area. It is a good course w good challenges and not overwhelming in length. Wish the greens had more character similar to newer courses.

The course was in good condition. Tee boxes could use some work (grade of the tee boxes).

Excellent Golf course

Franklin Canyon golf course is an excellent course for determining where you are in game. Except for the cold weather during the morning round, the conditions were fantastic for a round of golf. The food in the snack bar was great (burgers) and the staff was very friendly. My only issue is that I lost my Naval Postgraduate class ring several weeks ago after playing a round of golf, but the staff took my information and assured me, if found, I would be contacted. Very honest and friendly staff

get a deal if u play this couse

greens ok.fairways need a lot of work.tee boxes uneven.my impression of franklin canyon was it gets real busy most of the time.we played on a thurs afternoon and the pace of play was a joke.it wasn't just the people in front of us,it was just the course was packed with golfers.i should have known due to the location of the course.weekends must be a nightmare at this couse .i also did not like several hole layouts,like #13/14.bad layout.the only thing we enjoyed was the bathrooms at this course,i would have given them 5 stars if they had been heated.so unless u can get a great deal on this course ,or have to stop off to use the br don't go out of your way for this one...

Crowded

We had a time at 11.15. As sonn as my friend arrived he said lets go to delta view. So we paid 23$ at noon and we were finished by 3.30. Franklin canyon were charging 34$. We probably would have been on hole 13 there while the sun was setting. All courses like to make money, but jamming a bunch of people on the course is a drag.

6+ hour round!

You guys need to get the starters and marshals organized. It should not take 6 hours to play 18, even if it was on Veterans' Day. I saw a number of 2 and 3-somes out there, I even saw a 5-some tee off right at #1, right in front of a starter. Totally confusing and I'm sure it contributed to the slow down. That being said, still one of the best values in the Bay Area.

Fun and challenging course

Great course and great weather led to a very enjoyable outing for both myself and out of state friend of mine.
Only thing that would have made this a better outing would have been my game/score!
Will definitely play many more times.

A course with character

Brought a visiting golfer from Salt Lake City and it was a hit. He enjoyed the variety of different holes and saw how the course could be if it were allowed to give it mire watering. Had a great time!

Good Experience

Just getting back to golf after a 15year layoff. Had not played FC in @17+ years. Found it to be in good condition despite the drought. The course was busy, but the round was only @4 hours and 25 minutes, despite my frequent errant shots. Will definitely return.

Ok case course considering the drought. management could use a bucket of white and red paint to mark the yardage in the cart paths. a place to play

Low expectations , no better on results. Needs a grounds superintendent who can maximize this courses' potential. Course is tired ,and recognize dry conditions as part of drought. Suggest management looks at Bennett Valley, Rancho Solano ,and Teal Bend on how to condition a course. Probably won't play again, no reason to.
