Great service
Missed our tee time because of holiday traffic . Pro shop understood and fit us in within a half hour. Great and friendly stalf. Course in very good shape , considering drought , greens in great shape.
Good municipal course with nice facilities
This is a very good course and in very good condition. It has a section of the driving range dedicated to practicing with irons on grass, a nice pro shop and restaurant, and a good putting green. My only real knock is that some of the bunkers were a little light on sand but they were not that bad.
All-in-all, this is a very good muni course at a good price.
Great Value
California is in a sever drought, but Bennett Valley is still nice and green. The front nine has good charcter, but the back nine has 4 or 5 holes that run parrell to each other and look the same. The tee boxs are alright and the fairways were in good shape, Bunkers had wet, muddy sand, but that may because I played VERY early in the morning. The greens were good, but a bit slower than what I am use to.
Mostly nice muni but play can be slow.
Nice public course that gets lots of play during the summer months . Rates are good if you walk, comparable to other local courses if you ride. Unlikely to get a four hour round here. Almost never see a ranger. Front nine is more interesting than the back. Mature landscape with lots of trees. I like playing here but slow play can be annoying. Afternoons have club events during the week that go off both nines which is unfortunate if you make the turn after that happens.
Great Father's Day
On this Father's Day, I got to do what I believe many Dads would prefer to do on our day...spend it doing something I enjoy! GOLFING!
The course is in tip-top condition. The ball ran a good distance on the Fairways but they were green and lush. The Greens were great..no browning or dead spots, all green and lush too, even got some ball marks on landing. The wildlife was out in full review, including deer, turkeys and cranes. Just a great day!
Best Value
The course is in great shape and the staff were extremely friendly.
Interesting course that's tight off the tee
First time playing on Saturday afternoon. Played blue tees which didn't seem long but you are in trouble if you don't hit it straight. Tight tree lined fairways on the front made for a challenging start. Back nine is more open but had longer par 4s. Greens were very smooth and fairly fast for a municipal course. Pace was reasonable for a weekend. I would definitely play again and make sure to warm up so tee shots would be straighter.
Poor customer service
Nice course, staff was not impressive. We had a tee time booked for 3, they added a 5 some walk on in front of us after they called us up to be next. After we teed off 20 minutes late, they added a single walk on to our 3. Called in food on the 9th tee off, waited for nearly ten minutes before got service after arriving at bar pick up. The bartender gave us attitude about splitting our three meals and helped four other people while our food was getting cold just so he could split the bill. Not very impressed.
Bennett Valley-late May
$1 mimosas.... Wide open fairways! Overall great! Being a municipal course, landscaping could use some work
Nice
It was a very nice course with excellent conditions and a great scenic view as far as municipals go. I thoroughly enjoyed myself.
Always A Treat
It's always a pleasure to play a course that's in good shape. I don't know how they do it with all they play the course gets, but it's always in good shape. The greens were firm, fast and rolled true. Always a good day at BVGC - Thanks guys!
Excellent way to spend the day
Course was in very good condition considering drought. Every hole something different which is unique to public muni course
BEST OF THE BEST!!
OMG!! I hadn't played this course since 1996, and refuse to do so, because of the overall conditions, and 5 hr rounds. But GolfNow had a "Killer Deal" with cart, that I couldn't resist. I'd heard from fellow golfers, that the course was in great shape, new club house, restaurant, and City of Santa Rosa had pluck down $$$$$$$ to improve the course. Bottom line, "I'LL BE BACK!!
The 5 hour play didn't go away, but BRAVO on course conditions, I.E. greens, sand traps, fairways, tee boxes.
This course is a great value
Great staff, great price, best deal in the State, tree lined fairways, no fairway bunkers, for ones who hate sand
Great park cours
B.V. is in good shape. Even tho the greens were aerated recently they putted very well. Look forward to going back soon and shoot my age!!!
Greens had been punched and sanded
I feel there should be some compensation when the greens are like this.
Good greens
Overall course in great condition.sometimes tends to be slow. that's only negative about the course
Good Value
Course was well maintained. Tree are an issue on nearly every hole. Will play again.
friendly course
Bennett Valley is always good. A great city course.
good shape bad pace
Course was in good shape with the greens rolling nicely. Pace of play as usual was incredibly slow even for a Wednesday as we finished just under 5 hour round mark.
