Bennett Valley Golf Course

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.

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.

$1 mimosas.... Wide open fairways! Overall great! Being a municipal course, landscaping could use some work

It was a very nice course with excellent conditions and a great scenic view as far as municipals go. I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

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!

Course was in very good condition considering drought. Every hole something different which is unique to public muni course

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.

Great staff, great price, best deal in the State, tree lined fairways, no fairway bunkers, for ones who hate sand

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!!!

I feel there should be some compensation when the greens are like this.

Overall course in great condition.sometimes tends to be slow. that's only negative about the course

Course was well maintained. Tree are an issue on nearly every hole. Will play again.

Bennett Valley is always good. A great city course.

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.

The course is in great condition, staffs are really friendly but 18 holes pace of play is supper slow.

Overall very pleasant experience. Paired up with a couple of locals that provided course knowledge. Mostly up and back type of golf course, lots of trees and a few narrow fairways. Keep heads up for stray balls. Pace of play a little slow 4:45 but it was a Sunday when all was out.

Was an easy round to get through. 4.5 hour round. Greens are in great shape.

Course is run by the city and rates are reasonable. Some slope on parts of the course but for the most part the slope is limited but every fairway is tree lined and you need to stay in the fairway to score well. Twilight rates start fairly early but that is needed as it can easy take 5 hours to make a round on this course.

Tough greens and always in good shape. Front 9 and back are different, making it interesting.

A consistently well kept up course, front nine could compare to many private courses. Grounds superintendent should be hired out to other courses on how to maintain a superb course. Value is fantastic. A gem.
