North Bay Gem
A great course! Worth the drive from the city. Great lay out, nice people. Good pace of play. If you hit it straight, you will do well here. Greens are fast and true, I visit where ever I can. A north bay gem!
Easy, consistent course, affordable
This isn’t a difficult course, but it was kept up pretty well and the staff was helpful. Good value for the money as well.
Bennet Valley Golf Course
Playing Bennet Valley was a good experience, a serene and picturesque environment.
The play was painstakingly slow for a Tuesday. Started at 12:45 and completed only 14 holes.
Great Course
This tree-lined golf course has a lot to offer and challenge every level of golfer. Set in beautiful Sonoma county, this golf course was in very good condition and well maintained- well worth the visit if you’ve never played here.
A very enjoyable experiance.
It was a fun day. The greens were smooth and fast, and conditions couldn't have been better.
Very slow
I think the course needs to space groups out more during the day so it’s not too backed up. Took my buddy and I over 2 hours to play 9 on a Thursday afternoon
Great Late Fall Experience
Bennett Valley is a classic muni course. The layout is fairly pedestrian, particularly the back 9 which is essentiallly a series of back and forth par 4s. That said, they do a good job of maintenance, particularly this year with all the extra use.
Today's round was played on late fall, hard and fast conditions. Lot's of roll out. You felt like a much bigger hitter than perhaps you are. The greens were a bit faster than you might expect at a muni. The pace of play was great (4 hrs 15 min). COVID precautions were well in place and it seemed like a safe experience.
The setting in Bennett Valley itself is beautiful, with a nice backdrop of mountains behind you. All in all a very pleasant round.
Pace of play was slow on the front nine--had to wait at least 20 minutes on some holes but then it got better on the back nine. I'm surprised they didn't start some foursomes on the 10th tee instead of everyone going off the first tee.
North Bay Gem
Bennet Valley is always a good choice.
Good people and a great course. Because it is a nice walk, sometimes it can be a little slow. Right now the course is in good shape. Fairways are very firm and could use a little water, The greens are in great shape and running true. We started at 12: 30 and finished just at dusk. A 1pm start would not have been able to finish.
Tough but fun
Very enjoyable. Tight fairways, plenty of trees. Definitely will be back
Good times had by all!
I haven’t played BV in a long time because whenever I was there the course was so busy and the wait was so brutal we walked off after 5hrs and 13 holes. That being said I’ve been there twice in the last 3 months, my first T time was 06:20 and things moved very well. My last t time was 09:20 and the place had groups on every hole and fairway. I have to admit things moved fairly well, we waited just a few minutes on most t boxes but it wasn’t bad. I had fun and enjoyed the round. It’s worth playing but be ready for a slow round just in case.
Greens are good for putting
Greens were good for putting. Difficult to find Golf Balls at times.
Fun Track
Bennett Valley is a nice value for your money. Even though we played late on a Sunday, the greens were in excellent shape. The course layout is a bit monotonous with a lot of dead straight, tree lined holes but the greens make up for it.
Only gripe was that the bar/grill was shut down at 5 pm on a Sunday. A lot of thirsty golfers were a bit bummed!
I’ll definitely be back.
