Always a great time at Bennett Valley

The staff have always and still are very nice, professional and will go the extra mile to accommodate you. The course is beautiful except for a few problem areas on a few of the greens. My husband my brother and I always have a good time golfing here. It won’t disappoint..

Stay out of the trees!

I played fairly well, except when I leaked out into the trees.

Nice track

I like Bennett Valley as a more classic layout w tree lines fairways, differential hole to hole and good greens.

No real drawbacks other than overall condition; could be better maintained but for a muni, it’s above average.

5 hour+ rounds

While the course is quite decent and a fair value, they seem to be booking groups 7 minutes apart and pace of play is horrendous. Have played twice this year and both rounds were 5+ hours. They also charge a $2 course improvement fee for each player. Trivial, but when you’re waiting for the group in front of you to tee off at every hole, little things become annoying.

I know courses are busy right now, but spacing groups a bit farther apart would make this course well worth playing. At its current pace of play, I won’t go back.

Joe's Review

I felt the pace of the course was fairly steady. I paid for a cart and they didn't have any available. So, I walked the course. It was not all bad.

Great course with tree lined fairways

All fairways are tree lined, (Big, Big Trees) Beautiful course in Great condition. Keep it straight off the Tee, or you are looking at bogie or worse. Greens roll true, many birdie possibilities if you can keep it straight. Love this course.

First visit

Although there was a golf cart shortage when I arrived, it didn't take long for a cart to be readied. One element that caught me off guard was supposedly the county requirement that only 4 people could be in a group. I arrived with my wife who was not playing, but I had to wait until a twosome was scheduled to play with them. First time I ran into that instance. As far as the course I found it very interesting and reminded me of courses back in New England where tree lined fairways are very common. The course was in good shape with some browning, but nothing I'd consider a problem for this time of year. Definitely plan on coming back to play again.
