Great greens. Rolled beautifuly, and it was a treat for the price paid to watch the ball roll on your line. Fairways were in decent shape for winter golf, muddy in a few areas, but that was to be expected. Course played nicely even after some rain and thats great to see. The two marks off for this course were the quality of the “grass driving range” which was brutally sloped and a bit mangled. But for a small range with few spaces available that felt understandable. Bunkers were in poor condition but somewhat expected following rain the previous week.

All in all highly recommend the golf course to friends and i am already planning a visit back as soon as weather improves. The quality of the greens really made it a memorable play for me and my playing partners.

Not worth the price, but solid for sonoma county.

Tee boxes were brutal on some holes, bumpy, sandy, squishy, some fairly sloped.… footing is an issue with driver in hand…rolled an ankle on the 2nd tee box. Needless to say in that condition it definitely has the potential to affect scoring.

Holes seem to have been cut in the same 6ft circle for months, and old pin locactions are noticeable and affect the roll of putts. Fine for lag putts as the majority of the putting surface is beautifully maintained, but those putts you really need to drop are definitely affected and led to a couple tough missed birdie putts.

Houses seem to be the main visual feature of the course on all but a few holes. The payoff on 16,17,18 is really the only reason to play this course. Beautiful finish.

Played wonderfully. Only knock on it was the type of sand, and the slow service at the restaurant before the round…seemd like they were horribly under staffed.

Absolutely pristine playing conditions. Don't know if any course is worth that much to play but it came close.

Only one redeming quality…its a great layout. With a little love it could be a great play. BUT..

-Tee boxes are squishy/muddy mid afternoon on a hot summer day, crowned on the middle so finding a flat lie is impossible
-Fairways are muddy in areas, with crabgrass and other weeds and grass types making up 50% of the playable area..some areas not mowed, so its a 50/50 shot of catching a flier in the middle of the fairway.
-rough is the same story..thick with encroaching clover and crabgrass, bermuda, zoysia, you name it youll find it. Areas that are just flatout muddy from lack of drainage and way too much watering.
-bunkers are just stone mixed in with a thick clay, except for a few which arent packed on the faces, so all the way to the lip of the bunker its powdery…
-greens feel like a kitchen sponge. Thick layer of poa on top, but it didnt seem like theyd been rolled in years, and the root layer underneath the grass surface is a half inch to an inch of rootbed. The result is an incredibly bumpy surface that plays relatively fast, but can result in overspin on wedge shots. A sharp wedge shot is bound to skip once and rip off the green, whereas a chunk and run tends to stop relatively quickly…kinda backwards.
-driving range…they boast a grass driving range. In reality, its mostly sand/bark, with half rooted patches of grass mixed in there. On top of that its kind of a moonscape, so finding a flatish lie is impossible. Expect to find 1/3 of the balls to be in poor condition (cracked, chunks missing/no dimples)

I played with a local who said on numerous ocassions “ooo you got windsor’d on that one” when a ball would bounce wildly from its line on the green while putting or chipping.
Normally i would just say “well its a public course”. But charging $80+ with cart….with such a lengthy list of issues…thats not acceptable
