Redwood Canyon Golf Course

I like this course very much, especially the greens. Very good condition.
I also like the wild deer on the course and makes it feel like I'm out and away from the city

Where else can you play golf on a well-maintained course in the bay area during the weekend for $35? This course is undoubtedly the best value in the bay area. They do not skimp on the maintenance of the course. The greens were in fine condition and the fairways were decent. I'm surprised this place can offer such a fine golfing experience for only $35. I highly recommend this course!

We had a earliy morning tee time...upon arriving at the golf course there seemed to be a very big back up at the 1st tee.When I was in the Pro shop paying I over heard that there was a happy birthday after party and that they were given priority for the morning tee times even though they did not book them.From what I saw there were 4 to 5 foursomes.Our tee time was delayed about 40 minutes and the guy at the counter (There is no starter) said there was a delay due to darkness???First time I ever heard that in the middle of summer,I wont be comming back here any time soon and I'll tell our golf club president not to book a tournament there.

I really like this course. Not too difficult not too easy just right.

Teed off at 7:20am and finished at 11:10am. Course is fun to play. For the conditions the cost is about average. Location is beautiful.

Cold and windy for a July day. I'm not my best with an 8AM tee time and a 45 minute drive, but the course was great. The cart paths are so lumpy that it encourages you to drive on the course more than I'm comfortable with. But after a few bumps I felt I had no choice. The layout is good and I enjoyed myself.

It seemed like every terrible golfer was out for the day, over 5 hours to play on a super quick track.
Course is fun and interesting and the greens were great.

Course was in decent shape greens rolled very nice. Was a nice track today.

I'm a low cost golfer and for an 18 hole course under $40 it's pretty dang good.

First out, played in less than 3 hours, turkey deer, rabbits , horses

maybe the lousiest course I have ever played.40% of fairways no grass ,not under repair,just hard dirt. trees overhang ,blocking greens and fairways. no tee boxes just some markers stuck in the ground. ball marks never repaired,Saw one marshall all day and he was looking for balls in the hillside

Not a well kept course, no markers, poor staffing. Course was barely open for my assigned tee time and still had to wait with no other players present

Fairways and tee boxes need lots of help. Fairway lots of bare spots , tee boxes grass needs cutting.

I grew up in Castro Valley and remember this course as being beautiful! That has changed...a bunch, the clubhouse smelled of mildew, peeling paint, and the guy running the desk wasn`t friendly at all,(seemed he was doing us a favor, letting us spend our money there) had to return to clubhouse to get a scorecard, fairways had more dirt than grass. This place needs help to return it to what it once was.

Saturday 7:00 am group in front is us was so slow that they fell behind two hole but the Marshall did not push them to speed up.

Tee boxes could use some work. Usually plays under 4 hours. Today happened to be exceptionally slow. Slow greens, need mowing.

Course was in decent shape for the middle of summer. Greens were receptive and rolled smooth. Creek will get you if you don't respect it. Fairways were firm...bare in a couple of spots...but no too bad overall. Course is a local favorite during summer because of the trees and shade. A good day.

I liked the course, but the pace of play was too slow. Maybe the pace of play was slow because it was on Friday (July 5th), the day after Fourth of July (lots of people off work due to the holiday). Since I liked the course, I will play it again to see if the pace of play was unusual due to it being that day. The course is not that long, but has some very narrow fairways ( very tight). Fairways were in moderate condition. The greens were in good condition, and very soft, so approach shots stopped very well on the greens. This is after a VERY hot spell of weather. If you don't hit the ball straight, the creek that meanders through the course will consume a few of your golf balls. Since the course is tight, but not long, I did not use my driver off the tee too much.

Many doglegged decently long holes combined with some uncomplicated par 3 holes. Not a whole lot of variety. If you can keep the ball in the fairway this would be a pretty easy course. Not many hazards in play. However as soon as you hit the rough on most holes it increases the difficulty significantly. Many well developed trees lining each hole and ravines separating most adjacent fairways. Its very easy to lose balls if you stray from the fairway.

slow & bumpy greens
fairways have lots of spots that are muddy, have no grass, or have weeds
basically, the management really needs to improve the course condition and maintain it...
