Franklin Canyon Golf Course

First time playing there and noticed all the brown spots on the fairways. Greens were ok but could be better.

I probably had 800 yards of rollout because the fairways were so hard. I hit multiple shots off dirt. The course is not being maintained very well since it's closing soon. Sadly because of that it's not worth playing much unless you get a deal.

The overall course conditions were satisfactory with fairways very dry and good waiting for play ahead especially during a holiday.

I must add a friendly staff on board.

I have been playing this course since High School, it's sad to see it detorate while they are deciding if they are keeping it open or not. Tee boxes and greens are ok, sand is horrible. Anywhere off the fairway you need to look for a small patch of grass/weeds to hit off, it's generally hard pan.

The remaining time with Franklin seems fleeting with the doors set eminent for closure yet no date and time in site. And this is good news for golfers looking to play Franklin before it leaves.

The course right now is in Great shape. Greens about a 9-10 stimp fairways fairly watered with rough on each side. Course still manages its water and if you are 20-30 yards left/right of the fairway you will catch the hard pan and run for days.

Recommended everyone come and play and if you catch the hot deal it's a great bargain. Rates during the week are reasonable and weekend price no different than boundary oaks (At least Franklin has a driving range right now). Definitely get there before winter as the course gets a lot water from the mountains and gets incredibly soggy as it is part of watershed for Franklin Canyon Creek that runs through the course.

We were told this place was closing down last time we came. But to our delight we seen it was still open so we reserved a tee time for about 70 bucks at 1120. The fairways were mostly in bad shape. The greens also were in bad shape tons of dry spots and craters. Bathrooms on the course were abused as well. For the money I iwll not be coming back to this place. Its sad to see it go in such bad shape.

Great value for money and convenient to get to right off the freeway. Course layout is fun and not too punishing. Greens were fast and had some well placed pins. Only downside was large areas of fairway that were rock hard to the point of being better off hitting out of the rough.

Pros far outweigh the cons and will definitely be back again.
