Franklin Canyon Golf Course

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

The pace of play was pretty slow considering that it was Easter Sunday. The groups that were out there were two player groups and it was still slow. There was a course marshal but he did not maintain pace of play. It gets slow out here on the weekends.

After waking up at 4:45 to make a 6:28 tee time, we, along with about 10 other fellas were rudely disappointed, when NO ONE showed up to open the pro-shop! Yes, No one showed up at the course, to work. " I forgot I worked the morning shift" was the excuse we got from the boy answering the phone, later that morning. "well, you could have walked it, then paid later when I got in" Uh, yeah, if I WANTED to walk! Not, "I'm really sorry about that sir, how can we make it up to you? When I was told that the "Manager" Jake, would call me back, I got no response at all. Still haven't. My company was thinking about having a tournament this summer, guess where were NOT having it? Glad this happened now, and not when 72 other players were with me. Who runs a business like this???

Past experience at Franklin Canyon has not been as good, as they used to book tee times too close together...everyone sits around waiting.

Better experience than before.

My guest and I were very pleased with our round at Franklin Canyon! The shop attendant was great and the course was in the best shape I've seen it in a long time!

The greens always throw me through a loop, the fairways are awesome, bunkers could be groomed a tad better, tee boxes could use some re-sodding. Other than that, I would play here everyday if I could. 4.5 stars

Last Sunday we played Franklin Canyon, a course that we play often and enjoy. On the particular Sunday, they failed to inform us an a number of issues. Plugged and sanded greens, multiple temporary tee boxes, allowing nine hole golfers to cut in between 18 hole golfers. I know that the course repairs are necessary, but we should be informed so we can decide to play there or wait for more favorable conditions.

Love Franklin, play it on my birthday every yr, however this last time, after shopping around tee times in East Bay we settled on Franklin because it wasnt far and was reasonably priced and no adverse conditions were stated on GolfNpw. However when we got to the course they informed us that they were Air Raiding greens and greens where "heavily saturated with sand" and no discount or even apology for the mis information was applied. We payed and played anyways but greens where terrible..being that we payed for non air raided greens you would think Franklin and/or GolfNow would do something, no compensation needed, just make sure to get it right next time.

Franklin Canyon was beautiful on this new spring day. So green, flowers everywhere and the fairways were great. There is a tremendous amount of infrastructure work being done, new Tee Boxes, Cement work on the Cart Paths and this is also the time for punching and sanding greens. IN about a month from now this course should be in the best shape it has been in years. I recommend it for play now and later.

(8) Tee boxes are been rework
and the half of the greens are pluged and sanded
if i know i wouldn,t play

franklin is a very good layout that always suffered from maintenance issues and heavy and slow play

The managemnet is presently rebuilding many tee areas, cart paths and improving drainage. These are great and long overdue..but it will be tough playing this course for at least 3 months

A really fun and sometimes challenging course for intermediate players. Kinda slow at times in terms of pace of play. a fun shorter course for a variety of skill levels. A great value when under $50.

First, a 5 and a half hour round, 2nd, the course was in terrible condition all the way around. It really irritates me when they let 2 fivesomes out ahead of us on an already crowded course. I won't go back there for a very long time.

No complaints at all - friendly members, tough but fair course, beautiful surroundings.
