Santa Rosa course is in great shape. Layout is a mix of water holes and strategically placed bunkers. Overall, a fun, challenging track. Pro shop person was very welcoming and engaging in showing us around the facility since it was early in the morning dark when we arrived.

Unfortunately, we as a foursome were placed behind two threesomes who were super quick. This was our first time playing here and we fell two holes behind with the wind picking up at hole 8. The marshal told us to catch up and we tried our best. When he rolled up on us around hole 14, we fell three holes behind. He then questioned us with some snark if we are beginners (we are all 10-12 indexes)....read full review

The greens are in great shape, but the rest of the course is underwhelming. This gets the course it’s 3 stars. Otherwise an it’s an urbanish course set down and surrounded by uninteresting homes, no nature other than the waterfowl, and distant Mountain View’s from time to time. To make matters worse they let us book and expect to play 18 holes and only informed us upon checking in that we would be missing out on 4 holes! Yep, skip 4 holes and not repeat any to make up! and to compensate, they gave us an whopping $8 bucks off each! It seems like a better deal than it is:( $196 for 2x to play that course? No thank you. I can think of lots of nicer to play.

We've golfed the San Gorgonino course before and enjoyed it, except it has 4 par 3 holes on the front 9. Something must have happened to the greens as they were brown and sandy and didn't play true. Unfortunately, when I called to book the Santa Rosa course, I wasn't advised that it was only playing 9 holes.. may be 16 now. I thought I would have been told up front, not after I received my confirmation.The Pro Shop staff and Course Assistant were really great!
