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.
Difficulty Fairly Easy

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.

Still need a Marshall
Course was ok. The water was broken for a bit and there are some spots in worse shape than others, but not horrible. The sprinklers/pump are fixed now, so supposedly improving.
A Marshall is needed to move the very slow players who fall 2 plus homes behind. We had 3 groups backed up on 8, with two more on 7. The group on 9 were at least 2 full homes behind.
Luckily, they were only playing 9 and the back 9 was much faster.

Fun day out
The course was in good shape. Several wet spots but understanding given the recent rain, also the greens were in really good shape. Restaurant experience was also good.
