Franklin Canyon Golf Course

First group to go out and still took 4+ hours to finish due to overbooked back 9. Other than that great green conditions considering the drought and fairways were nice as well.

Everything went as planned. Greens were in great shape. No waiting. I will be back.

Playing this course for 30 plus years, always count on Franklin to be a well kept course ruff cut consistent and hard greens that bite..

Course was in good shape, and would recommend this to anyone.

Excellent course conditions, especially for this time of year.

The price is EXCELLENT as well. With other East Bay Area course asking for $40+ ( and many of them that's walking rate on Golf Now), one would expect a full Franklin Canyon. But it was not. We were even behind a group of Super-seniors with one senior gal who was walking w/ a motor cart. We still completed the round in just over 4 hours.

the course is fun no two holes alike up hill 5 pars down hill 3 pars you will use all the clubs in your bag with the water shortage the course was in great shape greens in great shape I want to go back soon

I was traveling in SF and on a whim decided to play with 2 friends at Franklin Canyon. We enjoyed a beautiful Saturday morning round. Course played pretty easy due to the favorable wind conditions. Greens were average at best, but I can't really complain given how dry the conditions have been in the area. Overall, I enjoyed the day and would go back if I'm in the SF/Berkeley area again.

Staff greeted us with a smile and a hello. Course condition ok but water doesn't drain very well. Greens were in good shape. The only gripe that I have with this course is there's too many twosomes on the course. Why not pair them up to improve the pace of play? Other courses do.

The fairways were in great shape. The greens were very nice. The guy( I think Randy) working at the pro shop was very friendly. A course in great condition and a friendly staff usually makes for a great day of golf, and this was!

new ownership...upgrades in progress. great value...a moderately tough course. good for the average golfer.

It's obviouse that all of the glowing, 5 star reviews have been done by the mens club!!! but if you have never played here and are NOT retired with nothing else to do? play somewhere else! This course is in very bad shape. Pace of play is a joke. Greens are spongy and slow…at best, fairways are half dead grass and weeds, and the tee boxes are the worst I have seen. The cart we were given was on its last legs from the very first tee. The score cards are paper…..PAPER!!!! really?? We were told American Golf no longer manages the course, thats fine, but the overall conditions make it obvious that there is NO management at all. This use to be a descent place to play, but judging by our last experience, we will NOT be back.

The fairways were good, which is an improvement.
The greens were very good: only a few ballmarks, smooth, and true.
I was disappointed that there were some tees that were still closed. The tees that were redone look like they may be stressed.
The folks in the shop were friendly and helpful, as always.
It was an enjoyable round.

This was an excellent golf course. The greens are well kept and putted well. The fairways are well cut. I enjoyed the round very much.

I play this course every time I am in the Hercules area. This is a fantastic golf course and the staff is helpful and friendly. Thanks again.

Three tee boxes were under construction and the temporary teeing areas were a joke, was wasn't even mowed down. No warning of this was given on GolfNow or by course staff.

Course itself was very green due to overwatering (wet bunkers with standing water on #4, muddy fairways, holes filled with water).

Pace of play was great on the front 9 and fair on the back 9. Paid full price and was not happy about that.

Course was in pretty good shape, it was a good deal for $33 but probably wouldn't pay more than that. The course wasn't that exciting but had some good views of the hills in the background.

very nice coarse with mature trees etc. will play again soon.

The course is in good condition. Probably the best I've seen it in a long time.

Our tee-off was 6:52 am and it was our first time playing this course. We followed a 3-some and the pace was great, we finished 18 in about 3.5 hours. Excellent course condition for a munipcal course even though a couple of tee decks were under repair and had to move up the tee. Greens are undulating and challenging to putt. Overall I highly recommend this course.

This course was ok. Some holes couldn't tell the difference in greens and fairways. Also they have a few holes that the tee boxes are moved up making the holes pointless
