A nice track sadly headed downhill
It hurts to write this as I've been playing Franklin Canyon for many years. The course is in miserable shape from tee to greens.
The owners have been planning to close this course for quite some time and the conditions reflect that. Outside of mowing what little grass there is left, there doesn't seem to be any maintenance goin on at all. The greens are very beat up and don't roll remotely true. No sand in the bunkers and it is hit or miss if you'll even be on grass in the fairway.
It's truly a shame to see this course in the shape it's in as it's a fun track. Right now, I would not recommend this course at any price.

The course will be closing soon unfortunately so maintenance is minimal. Greens remain ok but the fairways are pretty beat up. Will continue to pay until they close.

one of the best munis in contra costa
Decent shape considering the amount of rain prior to playing. Greens are good and roll straight. Some mud issues, but overall good day for golf.
