Beautiful country style course

Many improvements have been made to Redwood Canyon Golf Course over the last year. The course is improving constantly. Keep in mind the challenge of this beautiful, yet relatively short, course is the creek comes into play on most every hole. Many large, yet well maintained, trees can make some targets a little narrow. The greens are improving, but still need more care.

Cement

Most of the fairways, especially the front 9, are very hard. Grass is missing, even in the middle of the fairway on some holes. Some of the greens have large cracks 2 to 3 feet long in some places with hard dirt.

Prior to new ownership, I could understand, but it was sold long enough ago for a better course than this.

I've always liked this course, and I hope it will get in better shape. Until then, I don't recommend this venue at this time.

I wish I'd taken pictures of the greens for all to see!

Trying to improve

The new management is trying to make improvements but are having trouble with the grass in the fairways and greens. Several times I was hitting from dirt or weeds in the middle of the fairway.

Love this little gem!

I love this little course. Can't say enough about the scenery and the wildlife. The greens are fun and always in good shape (although this time certain greens had a bit of fungus trouble, but pin placements were out of those areas). If you're a fairly long driver, no need to pull it out, and then it becomes something of a shot shaper's game. The nature out here is just wonderful. Had gorgeous weather, which added to it all. Highly recommend to those who appreciate natural layouts w/ history........over manufactured (incl. long and/or gimmicky) resort courses.

Scenic, fun, great layout

Great, historic feeling course deep in a canyon with lots of interesting challenges. Deer, wild turkeys, no houses anywhere, and a creek that runs the entire length of the front nine make this a nature lovers favorite. Very walkable. A course that deserves to be in your regular rotation. Excellent low rates too.

beautiful with lots of wildlife

tight fairways, creek hazards. flat, water problems in some fairways due to breaks in pipes. Keep the ball in play and you can score well. Lots of great wild life. Bad cell reception.

Course in great shape

Now that the new management has been in place for a while, the course is showing improvement. The greens were in excellent condition.

They could use some gravel on the cart paths to smooth out some of the bumps and divots, but not a big deal.

This course needs more attention

The course layout is very good. A lot of hazards; tight fairways on some holes. What the course needs is to have the rough cut lower; cut grass should be blown off greens and fairways.

It has been twenty years since I played here. Teed off on a Monday so not many players which was great.

I forgot how pretty it was here. Perfect course to walk for me.

It was a terrific value.

Jacks Review

I love this coarse, it is beautiful and has enough hazards in play to make it challenging enough to keep me coming back, it needs some repair work on the cart paths but otherwise the fairways are pretty good.

Great course

Like this course a lot I go at least once a week it's nice all the way around even the food. It does get busy on the weekends so I tend to go on the weekdays. So far so good and I'm pretty sure it'll get better with new ownership
