This is by far the best public golf course in the SF Bay Area.
If you are looking for a club with modern facilities, progressive layout, and overall playability for players of all skill levels, this is it.
The best thing about the course conditions at Cinnabar are the perfectly smooth, lightning fast greens (sometimes in the 12-13 range on the old stimpy). But if your read is right it will go in 100% of the time. Sounds obvious but not the case on a LOT of greens.
This is a country club quality facility without all the stuffy upity attitude. ***note the price I paid is a 50% discount because I am a "hawk member" which costs $290 per quarter. My only complaint is that a lot of the bunkers now need new sand.
Would travel: Airplane, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Ranks with the best in this price level, Best course in the area
Condition of Course, Layout, Ambiance, No Houses on Course, Staff, Clubhouse
