Hotel with history behind it!! Photo submitted by Shypoke55 on 04/22/2019
Some of the greens were pretty tough but overall it was okay.
This golf course is in bad shape.
This course is completely run down
Not worth even playing for free.
Not again
Even at the lower rate for this time of year, I would not come back to this course.

This course has so much potential, more work in the fairways and bunkers, the staff is outstanding!
Hello,
Thank you for your review of the golf course. We are working to rectify the issues with the irrigation in the fairways, as well as clean up the sand traps. We appreciate your business and look forward to seeing you in the future.
Slow
5 hours to play a beat up course with horrible greens and puddles all over the course because of the ancient water system. Staff is just collecting a pay check and does not care about the golfers. It’s sad this once iconic golf course has turned into a piece of crap
Hello,
Thank you for your review of the golf course. We understand the course conditions are not up to par and are working to rectify the issues.
Fun at Francisco
Had a wonderful time today, weather and staff were great. Great course conditions.
Course issues
The course is in rough shape. Several greens are not up to par, several fairways with no grass, lots of mud everywhere, lots of gopher holes in the fairways, and some of the tee boxes are in bad shape. Its quite expensive to play when compared to other golf courses in the area with the shape its in. Staff were extremely friendly. My complaint is only the condition of the course.

Little slow that day. Lots of people but great course to play!
Thank you Bombero571!! We appreciate your patronage and hope to see you in the future!
Hidden Gem!
Francisco Grande is a fun, well-designed course that rewards smart shot placement. Fairways are forgiving, greens roll true, and the layout keeps things interesting without being overly punishing. Pace of play is solid, staff is friendly, and the overall vibe is relaxed. Definitely worth a round if you’re in the area. ⛳️

Vast improvement
The course is vastly improved over the conditions the last time we golfed it 2 years ago. It was good te see the fairways, tee boxes and greens back in playing condition! We will be golfing here a few more times this year!

Hello,
Thank you for your review of the golf course during your last visit. We apologize for the condition of these few select greens. We are working to aerify them and get better water penetration so they start greening up.
