This was the second time I've had the pleasure of playing Cinnabar Hills. Firse time was just after it opened. And I do mean pleasure!! Played the Canyon/Lakes combo on 8/11/05. Greens held high, soft shots well. Fairways were nearly perfect! Perhaps I was not reading the grain well, but, it seemed as if the greens (mostly fast fast FAST!!) were a tad inconsistant. Tough to read! But they rolled smooth and true. This course is worth the $$$ price tag....I believe I got the early-bird weekday rate which I think was $58.00. I will play this gem every time I'm in the San Jose area!!

Three distinct nines - Canyon/Lake/& Mountain. Drains better than any other course I've played.
They also have nice twilight specials for both the early AM (before 8:30) and afternoons. You won't be dissapointed.
Enjoy!

Cinnabar Golf Club, in my opinion is the "best" golf club in the San Jose area, I say that for the following reasons.

1. The course is kept in immaculate conditions.
2. The greens are very hard, making approach shots difficult, but once on the greens they also putt very true.
3. Although a difficult course, loaded with numerous deep sand traps, (always in great condition) hilly lies, and pretty deep rough, you are rewarded if you can keep the ball in play.
4. Built in a foothill region, with numerous elevation changes to challenge the best golfers, there may be only one quirky hole on the entire 27 hole layout.
5. The 27 holes are very unique, there is no repetative feel.
6. The Clubhouse staff treats you well, they are "User Friendly" rather than snooty.
7. Although a very difficult golf course, I have played some of my best rounds here when striking the ball well.
8. Although a bit expensive, (play Twilight if necessary) if you are in the area, it is a must play.

Played course on a rainy Saturday morning. Played Canyon and lake courses. Course played very difficult. Accuracy off the tee is a must, expecially on the par 3's. Very Hilly, with fast greens.
