Franklin Canyon Golf Course

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.

Played Franklin in 2002. Forgot about it. It is a very good neighborhood course. Try it

Very slow back nine, one group just didn't care how long it took. No Marshal to help out. Good course otherwise

Enjoyed the day and the course very much, course was in great condition, greens were healing up but putted pretty well.

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.

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.

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.

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.
