Good, Better and Best

The food selection is weak but the rest of the off course amenities are good. This is one of the few courses with a nice practice sand trap. The fairways are fair with some narrow goose neck openings and some water/sand hazards. The well manicured mostly small target greens are better than most Muni courses anywhere. The sand traps are the best I've had the pleasure to play. I love that white fluffy tropical sand. If you can't get a good shot out the sand it's your problem! I don't like playing next to the sound of freeway traffic and I have hit the power lines that cross the fairways with my drive but at least It's quick and easy to get to. So, I can play 9 with a 2.5 hr. window of free time.

Best greens in NoCal

This 9 hole municipal course is BEAUTIFUL! It has all the traditional hazards (water & sand) and is impeccably maintained. The greens are some of the best in NoCal (comparable to Yocha Dehe) and their sand bunkards have the softest & flufiest sand that I've ever played (which includes Poppy Hills)! I wish they sold more food and/or beer but otherwise this a great course to play.

Pleasantly surprised

Hadn't played this course for years and was surprised at how well it was maintained, even has sand in the traps. Short on clubhouse amenities and little pricey for 9 holes, otherwise very pleasant hour and a half.

Fun little course

This was a fun course to play, it was well maintained and offered a variety of challenges for a 9 hole course. Had I known there was a driving range I would have arrived earlier and taken advantage of that and the practice green.
