Redwood Canyon Golf Course

Best course conditions in several years. The course was severely damaged after the major storms in Jan-March, 23. The mud has been removed and fairways reseeded. Greens also in excellent shape. The storms may have been a wake up call as the ball washers are now maintained and cold drinking water stations have been installed. Only other improvements I would recommend would be to remove the mud from side of the fairway (i.e. hole 1) and also removed downed trees and other debris. The course is already challenging enough with the creeks and large mature trees.

Pretty flat layout, some very short par 4s. Fairway and green conditions are not very good. I did get two birdies, so I guess I shouldn't complain too much. :)

A must play on Holidays. Nobody out there

You have the course to yourself. Redwood Canyon is working very hard making great improvements. 18th hole length is extended.

Always a fun place to play. Do not pass this course up.

It really was a golf course in a canyon in the woods (although I noticed mainly oaks) , hence the name. I like it.

Front desk was friendly. Tees where a little congested but not too bad for the day of week/ holiday. Cart was in alright condition (missing some foam from the seat but clean, quick). Average course in a nice background setting,

I would say pretty beginner friendly minus a few narrow fairways. Had positive interactions with a few other groups, but didn’t like a 5 some in front of us holding play up and not seeming to care. All in all majority of people in the area seemed nice. Lots of motorcycles going by in the background but I’m used to a course near the airport so it wasn’t so bad

Range looked cool, i could see myself coming back for that or a round after checking out other courses in the area.

The majority of the greens were horrible .. Especially with the new green at #17 ... It doesn't make sense why this new green is bad ...

Looks like improvements are being made ... good to see this ... but there is one issue , in case of an emergency, on the course, there isn't any cell phone service ...

Please don’t sell me a Tee time when you have just punch the greens. Give me the respect and warn me before I spend my money and WASTE MY TIME! THAT WAS BS! Really! Can’t express myself.. last time I do this then.

Poor green condition and insufficient guidance.

no fairway drifts of grass.

Only 9 holes opened. The 9 holes that were opened were sanded the day before and the entire course was under construction. Not warned when booked the tee time.

First, it was great not receiving any phone calls going away from clubhouse as bandwidth varies from front and back sides. Would a cell tower or increased bandwidth in clubhouse make a difference? I guess that depends on who you are and what you’d expect from a course about 3 miles from a major city and freeway that has minimal bandwidth. For me it can all wait as bandwidth increases the minute you are near the clubhouse.

Ah. Wait. That is a great word that has been used lots when describing Redwood Canyon. And WAIT—-we did not have to wait but for a few holes and the pleasant surroundings made it easy. It was a smooth transition all day.

Today was a holiday. Jam packed. Yet we finished in 4:15 which was outstanding considering all the negative reviews suggesting otherwise.

This course has character and the approach shots far and near to these picturesque locations were noteworthy.

Course condition was average, as we played plenty of balls up, but that did not deny the experience or quality of golf we encountered.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time here today having not been here in 20 YEARS!!!

Maintenance crews were everywhere trying to make improvements yet we only noticed the golf course and it’s unique character in both length and its few shorter yet wonderful risk reward holes, and it’s natural surroundings, and the potential this course has.

From the Blue Tees, the par 5 are outstanding as two are most of the time layups(9/18), one is severely uphill and reachable with two perfect shots(4), and hole 12 is a short par 5 with a false left side that will make you humble if you hit a great drive and have a hybrid or mid iron in that you should have easily reached this green in two on. Birdie is must on this hole but be careful with that left side near green as it’s runoff is treacherous. Four perfect par 5 to challenge your game.

As for the par 4, holes 1/2/6/8 are exactly what a golf course needs, with a very challenging first hole and 6th hole if you hit the lateral hazard which runs through the entire right side. Beware, as trouble is everywhere left or right out here.

The three par 3 on the front are just fine with holes 5& 7 being lengthened to appx 200 & 180 respectively, and hole 3 a mere strong wedge. The two par 3 on the back at 125 and 175 are aptly placed.

Hole 10 from the back seems like it’s about 450 but the tee was forward during to irrigation control measures that are nearly complete on entire back 9 that’s has short par 4 that require precision or a medicine ball back into fairway and a pitch and putt to save par.

If you hit a good drive birdie is in play all day on the back nine 5 par four.

So why the 5 star review? Scroll back to top and read again.

I can’t wait to come back in a few months or sooner as they aerate greens tomorrow.

For what it’s worth, I’m a +2 handicap, average about 280 off tee, and have an impeccable 7 hybrid/5wood, as well as a tour pros mid iron and short iron game. I chip as good as any tour pro, Putt well(had 31 toady) and shot 71 with 3 birds. With my +2 handicap and a course rating of 68 thats 5 over my handicap go figure…

We will play here again. And if we have to wait, we will wait patiently—

—as the course and it’s lengthened tee boxes(5/7/18?/10?18) make it about 6200-630O instead of the scorecards published 5900 yards.

Can wait in fact—-

This course could be anything…and today even with some rough edges was unique and very enjoyable. And no wait at all.
