What happened

This used to be a very nice course to play. When we make the drive it has never disappointed but it’s been a while since we last played. Right from the range we knew the course we in trouble. Most all the tee boxes had no grass. Most of the fairways were bare or dead. Although most of the greens were is good shape but some did have issues. Staff was not helpful one marshal gave us attitude when I brought up the condition of the course. Hopefully they can get it back but for now stay away

Ok course

It’s a good course, tee boxes and fairways needed a little help but I like the layout, I like the attitude from the workers when I arrive there. Good course always fun, if you looking for a great course this would be one of them in the area, they just need a little help.

Sonoma has become one of the best courses to play in the area. . Greens and fairways are in excellent condition. Some of the tee boxes require some attention but overall a great condition.

condition

The greens were in great condition but the bunkers were just hard dirt with gravel, more of a waste area. some the T-boxes did not have grass on them , they need some work. I do realize that the it will take time to get the course in the proper condition for the new owners as it was not in good shape when they took it over.

Unreasonable landscape work going on during play

On hole 16 there were 4 pick up trucks, several pieces of landscaping machines, and about 8 workers all working on what looked like the sprinkler system. My tee shot was just off the fairway, it almost hit a truck, to hit my second shot they had to move a truck. It was a bit of a joke.

I understand when a golf course needs to do work on a golf hole, but I would suggest telling patrons that hole is just unavailable to play for a day, instead of creating a dangerous circumstance for the workers and a very uncomfortable and slow hole to play.

Also the pace of play was excellent on the front and painfully slow on the back, I assume that the construction on hole 16 was the culprit of that as well.

And to top it off on hole 18 there was a worker who had a big hose ran across the green and a cart parked right next to the green

Overall if the maintenance work had not been going on, I would've given this course 4 or 5 stars, it was a fun layout and overall was in good shape, but the work and obstructions was unlike anything I have ever experienced on a golf course.

Great course and good value

This is a great course and the staff were very friendly. Even with only a few water hazards it was a challenging course. The greens were very stingy!

Playable but overall Average conditions

Course conditions were not great. Yes playable but far from good. The course design is quite unique, playing this course several times would be a big advantage because there are a lot of tee shots where you can’t see the landing area. Greens and fairways were decent in both speed and grass conditions.

A nice day and round of golf

It was pretty cold but clear and sunny; fortunately it was not windy. The greens were a little hard and fast but rolled extremely well. Not crowded so a leisurely round of golf with my son. Cart/beverage girl kept us well serviced. Accomodating staff and starter.
