Redwood Canyon Golf Course

Booked a tee time at 07:22 am though golfnow and arrived at 07:00 am . The pro shop was closed until 08:00 am. Wasted our time.

Greens were plugged . would have liked to have been informed before I booked the tee time

Although course being remodeled course is kept in good shape greens are nicely manicured and an overall challenging outing it might need a few more improvements but progress is shown.

Fun, nice setting, Short course, but challenging .

Every course we go to these days has brown fairways and empty water features - no different here. "Average" conditions from that standpoint. Clubhouse staff and Marshalls were very friendly...pace of play was excellent. In and Out in about 4 hours and we walked it.

The "poor" rating for Food/Bev - there was no drink cart at all. We played from 8am to Noon on a Saturday, 90 degrees by the 13th hole and I would have paid $20 for a gatorade at that point. Nobody came by all day. Only course I've played in the Bay Area like that, so was disappointed.

Great spread of Par 3's, 4's and 5's...very narrow so hackers like me better take a dozen balls.
Overall, well worth the $45 or so to play 18.

Substantial improve tad to the tee boxes have made the course more playable. Farr too many barren spots in the fairways are hopefully on the near term agenda. I can give them a pass for another year then reassess. Beware that you will play winter rules unt then!

Conditions were beautiful: perfect weather, moderate crowd, great company. Picked this course due to its short length - I forgot how unforgiving it can be though! You gotta keep the ball in play - the creeks throughout will swallow any errand shots.The drought has made itself evident on some of the fairways. The crews were working hard to mitigate this though. All in all though a very enjoyable round.

the course has large dry patches and all but the best shots end up in the creek which runs through the course. Balls in anything outside the playing area are not likely to be found. Better to leave any club in your bag that does not promote accuracy. The sand traps could use some fresh, soft sand. I hit out of a couple that felt like well-used cart paths!

They are doing a good job in improving the condition of the golf course..

For the Golf Now price, well worth playing. Tee boxes and fairways are not in very good shape, blame it on the drought. Greens were very good. Rough cart path. Weekday around Noon, very few other golfers out there.

Greens were decent but the overall condition of the course was bad. Fairways were super dry and weeds with patchy grass and dirt everywhere. It was cheap to play so couldn't complain but not a very nice course. Hopefully the new owners will put some money into it and fix it up because the location is awesome and it has great potential.

Excellent value for the money. Will recommend it to friends. You don't have to be a long hitter, but keep it straight.

Once one of the favorite places for celebrities like the rat pack, this beautiful course is currently in management limbo while the non golfing county politicians decide when will the facility be assigned a permanent semblance of what once was.

That said, the course still plays fair, requiring accurate driving and ball placement.

This course has improved dramatically over prior ownership. There still is a ways to go but current ownership has gotten a very good start. Keep up the good work.

This course is being improved by new management team and improvements are welcomed. The course is narrow in many places with lots of trees on one side, with a small creek on the other side of the fairway. You will see lots of wild life as you play the course, fun yet challenging course.

Teed off a half an hour late, why? Because they do not have enough carts so groups (multiple) had to wait until other players returned their carts. Pace of play was ponderous. 5 hours and 20 minutes. Greens played as it they hadn't been cut in a week - sloooow. And what are called on most courses sand traps, Willow Creek features dirt traps. The experience would have been better on a weekday, however, that wouldn't change the greens or traps.

I used to come here 10-20 years ago playing back-9 mostly. Used to love the serene and secluded setting.
I was looking for an ad-hoc 4-some golf Sat at 9:00 am, and Redwood Canyon had an opening. Read the reviews, was a bit hesitant, but decided to go because as we golfers know, it is better to golf than not golfing - if you know what I mean.

And I was pleasantly surprised. Yes there is work going on. Workers were redoing the roof of all the structures. They now have electric carts. I could tell the management is looking to update the facility to bring it up the standard.

Yes there were some bare spots, but those were mostly between the holes and in the parts of the course that really does not matter. And the greens were in very good shape. I've seen some greens in more expensive courses, and I think the greens at RC is fine and well maintained.

Was the first time walking the 18 hole, using my newly purchased push cart. good experience. Lot of shades. The setting is really secluded and serene. It is actually quite a beautiful course.

Probably because I shot my personal best today (80), I had a good time here today, and will definitely put RC in my rotation.

I had read about this place before the name change, but finally got here. The course was a little tired and cart paths were non-existant, but I can see this course being very walkable. The greens were in good shape. But the big positive here is the layout which I found very appealing. If the plans are to do some fixing up, I can see this place turning into a nice gem.

As others have noted, the course is in the midst of an ownership and management change. The course needs a lot of work to come up to speed. There is clear evidence that this work is in progress. Some of the greens had burn areas due to a lack of water. The management clearly posted a notice that there was a problem with their watering system for a few days which caused the burned areas. Bravo for them to be upfront about this.

When this course is brought up to speed it will be a fairly short but challenging course but with very narrow fairways lined with trees and creeks on every hole. Each nine holes are place in a separate valley. There are no houses around. This is a great setting. You feel as though you were out in the country. There are plenty of challenges on the course to keep you thinking. Bring a few extra golf balls.

Pace of play is very slow. Staff said they were behind when I checked in 45 mins before my tee time but they said they were making up the time. Still 30 late teeing off. Waited on every tee box, sometimes 2 groups waiting on tee box. After 3 hours for 9 holes I left.
