Gorgeous 9-hole golf course in a unique setting of giant redwood trees. The course is immaculately maintained. The fairways and roughs are lush and the greens are fair and true. The staff is friendly and helpful and coordinates tee times so that folks can play 18 holes. The price is surprisingly low for a course of this quality and character. The only knock might be that the challenge is reduced for good players owing to the short par fours, several of which are less than 300 yards. For a relaxing, easy to walk golf experience in a truly unique natural setting, this course is hard to top. We will make it a regular part of our agenda any time we are in the area.
Would travel: 20-30 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Ranks with the best in this price level, Bargain priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
