Cinnabar Hills isn’t just a golfing experience; it's a journey through the rugged beauty of the Coyote Creek canyon lands in Northern California. The Canyon and Lake courses stand as a testament to original architect John Harbottle III's ability to carve challenge and charm from unforgiving terrain. Characterized by undulating fairways, dramatic elevation changes, and forced carries over the eponymous canyons and lakes, the courses test players of all skill levels. The Canyon course features tight landing areas and demanding approaches, while the Lake course offers a slightly more forgiving layout, but with water hazards omnipresent. Neither course demands length but instead rewards strategic play and precise shot-making, punishing errant shots that flirt with the natural hazards. This modern layout favors golfers who can think their way around the course, making it a cerebral as well as a physical challenge. While not a household name on the national stage, Cinnabar Hills holds a cherished spot among South Bay golfers, known for its challenging layout, stunning scenery, and the friendly, unpretentious atmosphere cultivated by its membership. Weekend mornings see regulars vying for tee times, followed by post-round analysis over beers and the club's famed hot dog at the turn. This dedication to the camaraderie of the game makes Cinnabar Hills a true golfer's haven.
