played for the first time on easter sunday. other than the little kids that ran on the 9th green and 10th tee (parents fault), it was a thoroughly enjoyable round. it's a little pricey for rifraf like me, but really no more so than other courses of the same quality. i like the fact there are three 9's, so i will probably go back. staff was great. i used pretty much every club in the bag, and had to think my way around. plus, nothing too gimmicky. it probably didn't hurt that i was killing it, but i would definitely recommend this course (played lake & canyon 9's).

very challenging , tests every part of my game.

Has the feel of a private country club, views are perfect, VERY quite and peaceful, relaxing course to play.

i loved the course! the sand traps were more dirt traps, that is the worst i could say. it was great that the refreshment cart stayed out after 7pm and the restroom availability was perfect.

Cinnabar Hills--a “must play” golf course in the Bay Area.

I’ve played this course about a dozen times and love coming out to this scenic, beautifully designed and maintained course. This is one of the most enjoyable course to play in the Bay Area.


THINGS TO LIKE

+ Imaginative, original course design with lots of elevation changes and excellent use of the natural surroundings. Truly beautiful to look at.

+ Well maintained course—greens are usually in excellent condition and the fairways are usually very good, too.

+ Course drains very well—can be played after several days’ rain with little problem.

+ Lots of wild life—heron, coyote, wild turkey and more—and only surrounding nature lining holes (no homes or anything else).

+ Beautiful, spacious, upscale clubhouse and pro shop.

+ Full practice facility with a large, grass tee driving range, 3 different putting greens and a good chipping and sand practice green.

+ Newer carts with lots on amenities including useful, accurate GPS and helpful hole tips.


THINGS YOU MIGHT NOT LIKE

- High handicappers will probably find the holes too challenging and unforgiving. Also, if you are wild off the tee, bring lots of balls. The greens are large, hard, undulating and very fast.

- A bit on the expensive side ($80/$100 weekends), but Mondays and Tuesday are $59 and Super Twilight is $40 M-Th.

- Like many popular courses, play can be slow at peak times—allow five hours when it is busy.

- Not a walker’s course—everyone rides in a cart.

It was my first time to play at Cinnabar Hills GC and I did enjoy playing there. The best thing at Cinnabar is that they have 27 holes, which would encourage me to play there as there is 1.5 times of fun!!

I would like to play there again soon.
