First Time at Bennett

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.

Good local course

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.

Nor Cals best muni

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.

Good Public Course

Hole #1 is a challenge if not positioned well after 2nd shot. Stay right of the huge Oak or approach is blocked. This course give you no love with the tree lined fairways so best to keep it somewhere in the middle. Greens are very receptive for pin seeking. Par 5's are relitively short and can be reached in 2 with a good tee shot. Well maintained for the quantiy of play this course receives, but pace of play was a lot slower than I'm used to. I would not allow 5 somes before 2:00 PM

Groups of 5 and 6 allowed?

I love the course, great service, but! Each time I have played BVGC it takes 4+ hours to complete 18 holes.due to large groups being allowed to play.

Very Straight fairways, deer run across your path with no concern. Turkeys visit you on a hole.

Pleasant day

Always a pleasure to play this excellent public course. This course is always well manicured with large greens. It is Rare to find muni courses with such high quality sand traps and Bennett has made the effort to upgrade their traps. Look forward to the next visit to this course.

A Gem

Great value, beautiful surroundings. Lots of tall trees on some narrow fairways to really think about course management. Greens were firm with a lot of variation in levels. Greens were in excellent shape. Pace on a Saturday was very reasonable. I really enjoyed this track and will be back again.
