Fun in the Sun

It was a fabulous day, the course is always in pristine condition. No golf course is perfect, there will always be that super slow foursome, but if you plan on a 5 hour round, you'll be fine

Great Day at BVGC

I love this course. I hate seeing "save Bennet Valley GC". Politicians are tying to close this course. Rake in the bunkers. Waiting for the cart person or the bar to open.

Why are we paying $ 2 for course management Or is the tip for the pro shop. Shady..

It’s a good thing I play there often. Because golf now was telling me it was 29 per person. But it was only 14. Golf now needs to update and be aware of twilight rates!

Bennett Valley May 2021

The course was in fairly good condition, but there was no off course amenities and the pace of play was fairly slow, probably because the course does not spread out the tee times enough.

This course has beautiful trees.

Driving accuracy is important, because otherwise, you will not have a clear shot to the green on most par 4s. This adds challenge to what is otherwise a not too difficult course.

Fun time

I forgot how fun this course was. I will be sad if it closes. You definitely have to be accurate off the tee in order to avoid the trees surrounding each hole. The greens are like glass and offer some challenging pin locations.

Pace Of Play

THe staff was awesome and very helpful. Pace of play was great for first 4 holes and then major backup with no resolution. Once we got to our 8th hole (#17) with 4 groups on one hole, we decided despite paying for 18 holes, we would end it after 9 holes. We were average over 20 minutes per hole for 4 holes. Just not worth it. I hope this was an exception to normal practice (no ranger in sight) as the staff, course and overall experience other than pace of play was great

It's a Must Play course for us

Having played 16 different courses with my son across Solano, Napa, Sonoma, and Marin counties in 2020 we're playing his faves this March before he heads off to India for a new job. We both love Bennett Valley and both times I've played it we've played the back nine first, which is great because in our opinion the front nine fun holes to play. The course is potentially under threat due to City of Santa Rosa's monetary issues so play this while you can. It's a gem of a course!
