More time

Golf course needs more time and work to get back to being nice. Can see that grass has been panted and drains put in. It is going to take time for course to come back after letting it go for so long. Glad new owners are trying and working to accomplish this. Thanks

The Real Sonoma Ranch golf course

Sonoma Ranch golf course is a good golf course but the past years have been rough there. Literally, the course plays like playing the rough in many holes. The fairways are without grass in many areas. The rough and other areas need trimming.

Tee boxes are in bad shape. Greens are tough and hilly. Requires precision and shot placement

Course conditions are improving but 12 and 16 greens are almost unplayable. I would only play at discount rate. Had starter issues. Showed up twenty minutes before tee time waited for 45. Had a 12:40 tee time and the 12:20 showed up at 12:35 my group didn’t start till 1:00. Sunset was 5:05. Wasn’t fun to finish in the dark. Marshals did nothing to speed up play. Hopefully course will improve conditions. You can see that redhawk staff has taken over. That’s both good and bad now bunkers look just as bad as Redhawk’s. It would be nice if crew ran bunker machine every couple of days. I understand that staff is short but it’s no different than mowing greens every day. The golf course is still a bargain for twenty five dollars but it’s really not worth more

Upgrade and maintenance

Course needs to be upgraded to golf course standards. Some t-boxes need to be replanted. They are down to dirt and weeds. Sand traps are in bad shape. Some greens are in bad shape too. Will play again in a year and see if any improvements but not this year

UGLY COURSE

If they started today and made the commitment, that course is about a year to two years away from being in average shape. And I don’t know how you can bring it up to respectable levels without investing a lot of money. The landscaping is bad and it’s nothing but tall weeds, rocks and dirt. The fairways aren’t really fairways as much as they are just uneven sod. Nothing rolled or trimmed. Most of the greens are in decent shape but lots of damage on them. Don’t play out of the bunkers there’s gravel in them. And most of the tee shots are blind tee shots as the eye lines don’t make any sense because you don’t really know where the flag is and you can’t see any areas around the greens. Just bad layout. Horrible course. Won’t go back. I’m sure the staff is nice but it needs a complete overhaul

Course to myself

Playing during the week was amazing, I pretty much had the entire course to myself. The course is in spectacular condition and seems like they're doing an awesome job maintaining it. I would surely play here again any day.

Great Layout

The greens were large and well maintained. The fairways and tees needed serious attention.
