Played this place yesterday for the first time.

Excellent condition all the way around.

The holes are fun and lots of diversity in topography.
It was windy so that was the biggest challenge for sure. Not knowing yardages and how holes played made it a little tedious at times.

Fairways and tee boxes were excellent and the greens were immaculate... » More

Played Simi Hills Sunday. 1020am tee time.

Course was in good condition.

Tee boxes were good, fairways were good and the sand was nice although on the back it was dried out and cakey.

Greens were excellent!!! They rolled so well and true all day.

Geese, lots of geese on the water par 3's.

Pop was ok. one of the guys in our group... » More

Pop was ok. one of the guys in our group was a little " tour pro" so it added some time to a would be swift round. Still a beautiful day and for sure windy.

About an hour east of Redding and 15 minutes from Burney Falls lies this lovely course.
Lots of trees and mountain views await. 6557 from the whites with no roll made it one of the longer courses I've played, 7400 from the tips. Must have got here at the wrong time of the year. The fairways were very long which made it play tough and the greens were very slow, otherwise it ... » More

About an hour east of Redding and 15 minutes from Burney Falls lies this lovely course.
Lots of trees and mountain views await. 6557 from the whites with no roll made it one of the longer courses I've played, 7400 from the tips. Must have got here at the wrong time of the year. The fairways were very long which made it play tough and the greens were very slow, otherwise it was perfect.
The restaurant (tasty hotdog) is now closed for the season I think, and the course goes to the honor system at the end of the month. Great valley and mountain views and 4 fabulous and varied par 3's really made this course stand out. I would love to see it in season(summer?) and play it when it's rolling. Funny, most of the elevation change was downhill so that will help with the length.
Played late so the green fee was $24 but the cart fee was $34, don't know if that was because my wife rode with me. Despite the length and elevation change the course is walkable. Highly recommend if ever in the area.

About an hour west of Redding lies this scenic 9 holer. Honor box, faded xeroxed scorecard and $15 walking rate greeted me at about 4PM. Couldn't make out the card but I think it was 1,700 yards from the tips with 4 short par 4's. Great setting thru the autumn trees with a nice mountain backdrop. Not a great amount of grass in the fairways or on the greens but it was still play... » More

Not a great amount of grass in the fairways or on the greens but it was still playable, and a fun and an easy walk. My wife loved that they had a bench on every hole as she walked with me.

Restuarant looked busy and filled with locals as I don't know what else is in the area, didn't partake. I'm trying to play everything, but this is definitely out of the way. Saw two guys in a cart so it serves the community's needs.

Made a morning-of tee time for 12:50, Friday 10/10 and went out as one of three singles playing the whites. I've played here more in the last year because it is a go-to for last minute tee times. I'd say the conditions were about what you would expect this time of year. The fairways were mostly decent with coverage, but not without the bare patches you might expect after a long... » More

Made a morning-of tee time for 12:50, Friday 10/10 and went out as one of three singles playing the whites. I've played here more in the last year because it is a go-to for last minute tee times. I'd say the conditions were about what you would expect this time of year. The fairways were mostly decent with coverage, but not without the bare patches you might expect after a long summer and before the rainy season. I wouldn't expect lush here and I was fine with it. The rough had examples of both more lush and more dry areas, but mostly it is not penalizing. I missed any bunkers but my playing partner's limited experience in them indicated firm. The green surrounds were more often greened up and good for chipping. First time in about 25 years I chipped in for birdies twice in a round. Greens were good shape, running at medium pace and minimal pitch marks. The course is very forgiving in its generally flat expansiveness and in that respect lower stress than some. I had a better than average round for me and so came away with few complaints about the course or conditions. Know before you go and I pretty much knew before I went.

As an aside, when reserving my tee time, the site showed only one available, which I took, but when I got there right before my time, they said I'd be playing alone because the threesome didn't show up. Fortunately, by the time they announced me on the first tee a few minute later, they had added couple of names and we went out as a threesome. It turned out to be a good number and the young man and woman were both excellent company. Any inadequacies about the conditions seems incidental and it was one of those rounds where the game and the company came together for a particularly enjoyable round.
