First Time Playing

Great course for locals

First time playing here and we had a lovely time. Was a beautiful day and so glad we found Franklin Canyon. Nice layout with a small range. Staff were very friendly and courteous. Pace of play was well managed. Never really waited and can’t say we held anyone up ourselves! Fairways and greens well maintained.

Overall we were happy to discover a local public course with a range, with carts that is well maintained and a decent price.

My only hope would be an option to book 9 holes (instead of 18) on the weekend. Even at a later time in the day. We sometimes only have time for 9 so I had to pay for 18. Still had a nice time.

We will definitely be back!

Carts

The carts are pretty dismal. Sucks the course is going to be demolished at the end of summer.

Fun Course

Sad to hear my first experience at Franklin Canyon will also be my only one as the course unfortunately is shutting down to become an RV Park. This course had its share of challenges but played fair. The course conditions were good, pace of play was smooth.

No marshals, 6 hour pace everytime

This a course that over caters to a specific age demographic at the detriment of other golfers. Pace of play does not exist here. Its a golf waste land waiting to be turned into townhomes.

What a shame

What a beautiful course, it’s a bummer they want to put a trailer park here. Talk about a backwards move. Golf is only going to get bigger…

Course needs water in places, but not in the sand traps. Pace was quite slow. Very windy.
