Unplayably soggy. Layout and greens seem good

The course was unplayably soggy when we played. While it’s been a rainy month it hadnt rained in like 3-4 days prior to the round. We were warned when checking in that it was wet and we’d lose balls in the fairway but the course should not have been open. I can’t recommend this course if it has rained in California the month you’re looking. Because it was so unplayable and they still took our money and sent us out I can’t really recommend the course which is a bummer cause the layout and the greens seemed really nice.

Mud Pit

Great course when it’s dry. But do NOT play when it has rained. The course requires at least a couple weeks to dry out. It’s a swamp.

Looking forward to playing again

This is a beautiful and challenging course. It's about an hour's drive for me, yet I look forward to playing here again soon. The drive is worth it.

Turn Off The Sprinklers!

Course was extreamly muddy( Clean the ball every shot) although it has not rained in more than a week.. There is a storm in the forcast that is going to bring 3" of rain and they are still watering the course. The Greens are Nice considering everything else.

Turn them Off... The grass will not die!

Always a Good Time at BV

BV is always a nice course to play with friends. I am a little surprised that all the tee box work they've done has resulted in a few sandy, grassless tee boxes, which may just be a result of the season. The course layout is nice, there is a lot of driver play, and the greens are reasonable. The Pro Shop is staffed with friendly folks, and there is good food and stiff drinks to be had at the restaurant.

Great Day @ Bennett Valley

The staff was friendly and helpful during check-in. Only saw the course marshal once, but pace of play was fine (4 hours 15 minutes). Some of the new tee boxes were a little sketchy, but in general, the course was in very good shape (especially for the amount of play it receives). Good value for the price and the Legends restaurant/bar is a nice place for a meal/drink after round.

It's Always A Good Day When You're On The Links!

Fun course for everyone. Par 4's and 3's. Mostly irons but for the shorter players woods will definitely come into play.

Bennett Valley October 2023

Mostly good conditions.Sand traps were hard, so difficult to get under the ball. The first several holes were slow, but it picked up on the back 9.
