This course is good value.

The pace is slow. The waiting skews playing moment. Otherwise the atmosphere is nice and user friendly. It is good when there's special rates.

Most played track in the county.

Bennett Valley offers the most bang for your golf buck.Rolling
hills,oak and pine lined fairways,gentle creek beds add to the
Sonoma county ambiance. Remade greens now roll very true.
Fairways ,rough,and tees are well maintained.
Wonderful driving range has quality hitting mats as well as turf hitting areas and the putting green is like the real greens.
New club house has all the essentials.Full service pro shop.
Better than average resturant.
Green fees,cart fees, best on the north coast.
Most kid,novice friendly,golf facility. Teaching staff very generous with their time with juniors.

Beautiful Course but too crowded.

The Greens are fast and well maintained. The course itself is beautiful. I would have enjoyed coming here to play during an off peak time. We went Monday at noon and they paired my twosome up with another twosome. We both had carts but we were put directly behind a walking fivesome. It got really backed up at the 6th hole. We had to wait a good half an hour while three other parties were waiting to tee off.

Great coourse, great shape and friendly staff

We always enjoy playing this couse, challanging and diversitied.

Hazards make it interesting for having to lay it up on certain holes.

THe restaurant is always fun to visit afterwards for a meal and drink also.

Bennett Valley is always in great shape

This has to be as well managed and well kept a muni course as there is. Friendly staff who do a great job keeping course in top condition even though a lot of rounds are played.
