I've been wanting to play here for a long time as I am a great fan of Mackenzie. The layout is typical of his courses, nine out nine in, you don't get back to the clubhouse until 18. The staff was ok, they got me out right away with a threesome. Waited a couple of minutes on almost every hole. Not bad at all. Saw the refreshment cart 4 times and the water jugs where full and cold. This is a great walking course some slight ups and downs but I don't see why one would need to ride. There are a lot of bare spots when you get of the second cut. But all in all this is a good track and very playable, no gimmicks or tricks. We played in 4.5 hours about normal for here, they are always pact. I'll play here again, it was fun and enjoyable.

Terrific mid May weather, warm and breezy. Course has huge elevation changes that require blind shots to greens. Wide forgiving fairways to smallish greens that easy to read. I did not see a straight putt in our group the entire day, though they were running a bit on the slow side, appeared to be a little long. eighteen is a long 660 yard par 6, that if you can carry the first 240 on the fly will yield a long result as the fairway drops off substantially.

Despite the long drive (1hr 45min) from SF this was an epic course. We had our monthly men's tournament here in May. This is quite the complex with a beautiful club house and the food was fantastic. Now for the golr, the course was in great condition in early May. The greens were fast with a lot of break. I would suggest getting a layout or map of each hole since many of the holes have some blind approaches and some very narrow landing strips, especially on back 9. The afternoon wind could also be a factor.

Played on Thursday afternoon as a single behind a twosome. Never had to do any real waiting as I played two balls in some cases. Overall I must say that they keep this course in pretty good condition for the number of rounds it gets on a daily basis. The tee boxes are all level until you get to the edges where they roll off, this takes away some targets. The fairways are all in great shape, no bare spots and no major divot damage. The greens are as good as can be expected or a muni, running about a 9 with some bumpiness. This course is good for target practice, almost all of the greens are identical, round, about 25x25, leaning back to front. Very predictable and simple to read. They have added some large trees to the No. 1 about 230 out right in the middle, this is to force the tee shot to the right which makes the hole play a little longer. Other than that its just a reasonable place for the money but not to challenging.

Haven't played here in a couple of years although have played the West side a few times. I think the reason was that the East course was really beat up at that time and the West was in much better shape. Now the East is in pretty good shape with the greens running fairly true with moderate speed. The East is much more flavorful than the West with it being more of a mountain course. Five par 3's to compete for closest to the hole money, enough length, changes in elevations keep this course interesting and fun, especially now that all green fees for the month of May are only $20.00!

Played 4/5 10 am 4.5 hrs. A fun course layout with some fun interesting holes. Fairly open with not a lot of trouble.
Fairway's 99% green and mostly lush. A couple were dry, but very playable. Most T's in great shape with a couple par 3 boxes pretty beat up.
Greens still showed the scares from the last aeration, but mostly visual. Did notice a few putts bouncing on their line, but over all they were in decent shape. Speed was somewhere around a quick medium. Didn't find any traps. Green side looked good and the fairway traps looking very firm. Course is very wooded so errant shots can find trouble, but most fairways are very generous. Course knowledge can be important on a couple of the holes. No GPS and no sprinkler yardage markers made approch shots just a calculated guess.

Yes they have been doing the 1/2 & 1/2 greens aerifacation...... They put alot of sand on the greens too....... I drive by the course everyday to work & you can see alot of the sand from the freeway.....lol
You guys are right on it as usuall...
Thanks

Play this course often as it is close to my work. Customer service is fantastic in the pro shop. Well stocked with equipment and apparel.

The course itself is in rounding into form under the new management. The fairways are green and tightly mowed, with a few bare spots in places. Not much rough to speak of. Tee boxes are level and in decent shape. The true highlight of the course are the greens, with a Tyee Bent Grass Hybrid. They roll very true despite being soft.

The course features a classic parkland design, lots of mature trees lining the fairways, and water and bunkers come into play on many holes.

Played 4/19, beautiful weather so the course was pretty crowded, round clocked at over 5hrs. Ugh.
Greens have basically recovered from recent aeration, pro shop said they did verticut, can't tell at all. That said, they are still bumpy from poa etc. I played w a local who claims management is just going to let the poa take over, which makes some sense given how poorly they've done at controlling it. Pro shop did confirm they are not planning to try and eradicate poa for now.
So I think that leaves us with a solid course that will have greens that are ok but not great, with the occasional odd roll, but they still run pretty fast, particularly given how much break there is on many of the greens.

played 4/17. if memory serves they aerated with "small holes" last week of march. Greens still show scars, and are a little bumpy still relative to usual at cinnabar, which is to say they are still as good as most other courses around the area. interestingly the greens are still very firm, only shallow pitch marks, and still wickedly fast.

rest of course is playing pretty nicely, they have rebuilt a few of the tee boxes to reduce crowning. unfortunately traps I visited were pretty thin with packed down sand.

also worth noting, they are now offering online tee time booking at a slight (~$2) discount to golfnow, pro shop told me to check it out.

Haven't played here for a long time, maybe two years ago because at that time it was in the process of going chapter 11 unbeknownst to me. The tee boxes were overgrown, fairways unmown, greens extremely bumpy and bunkers unraked with long weeds. It is now reopened with a small pro shop as the main building is closed and up for lease. But the course is now well-kept from tee to green and the greens are great! Fast and true for the most part. This course is more interesting than it's neighbor Rooster Run and now the conditions are comparable but I enjoyed the greens a lot more at Adobe. Get a Golfguide.org cert for $39.00 and come out and enjoy a round at Adobe. Well worth it now. just don't expect much in the way of amenities. No cart girl, no snack bar just a fridge of drinks and some candies and coffee. There is a grass range with short game area.

I have played this course many times...used to be one of our "go to" courses in winter. Sadly, it was not in good condition. The rough was deep enough to make finding balls a challenge. The greens, which looked beautiful, were slower than I had ever seen them before. The grass was long in fairways. Basically it looked like the entire course needed mowing.
