Bidwell Park Golf Course

course in good shape, only a couple tee boxes need some work but overall great weather and pace of golfing today

No warning/heads up about the green aerification and sanding!

Mike was so nice a check-in and made some accommodations for our group, course was in ideal conditions. Beautiful weeping willows, blossoming trees, wildfowl. Course has some easy holes and some challenging doglegs on the back nine. Mike warned us about 16 as there is water right in front of the green. Thanks River Oaks for the hospitality and fun day out at the course.

This is the only public 18 hole course in Chico and the conditions are embarrassing. There are round fungus disease spots all over the greens that ruin putts. The fairways are missing grass in many areas (see picture attached of number 8 hole fairway). The management does not seem to care about the upkeep of the course and it is not worth the money. Super slow play and the Marshal does nothing to move groups along. It took 4 hours to play 14 holes on a weekday and then I quit.

I've played Bidwell my whole life. The course doesn't change. What has changed is the terrible attitudes of most of the employees. Terrible course scheduling resulting in ridiculously long rounds and poor demeanor resulting in me having a bad taste in my mouth on the first tee. This sport is too expensive for this.

Thousand times better than Table Mountain in every aspect.

wanted to have a beer after but the clubhouse closed at 4pm

We had.a great time playing Bidwell. The staff Nick and Craig were very friendly. The course needs a lot of fairway repairs. Gophers have taken over.

The course is fie, but the cart paths and fairways make it almost impossible to use. You must crawl along at a snail's pace to keep from killi' your back.

greens were consistent and fairways were good. slow play.

Course layout is great but conditions are sketchy. Improvements have been made but not where they are needed most, like fairways which are uneven and you dont know what you are going to get. I was 20 yards in front of a green and had one foot in a 5 in deep rut and dry grass all around my shot. Money was spent on cart path improvement, but the need is greater on actual play area. And water stations need to be returned.
