Rooster Run Golf Course
The 5th Hole at Rooster Run
I happen to think that Rooster Run is one of the best courses in the Petaluma area. It’s much better than Adobe Creek and the pricing is reasonable as well. They recently change the front nine and back nine and that has made the course much easier to score on down the stretch holes.
If you play a right to left ball or a hook you could have some issues because just about every hole has OB left. Check out the map to see what I mean: Rooster Run Golf Course Map

The front nine (which was 10-18) is brutal. The first 4 holes are almost always downwind and fairly easy. But the last 5 holes are extremely long and into the wind. And the wind seems to pickup as the day goes on. Seven, eight and nine are the three hardest holes on the course. All three are directly into the wind and if you hit the greens in regulation then you’ve accomplished a lot.

The second nine (formerly the front nine) isn’t nearly as hard and you can make some good scores down the stretch. They have an island green on the par 3, 15th hole. The island is bigger than you’d think and the hole is only about 130 yards from the blue tees. So just don’t get psyched out… you can do it, I believe in you. When you get to the 18th get your head right and get a birdie. It’s a short par 5 that will be down wind. Just make sure if you layup that you’re in the middle because there is a small creek in front of the green with a narrow opening between some trees. You’ll need to split the uprights so to speak. So do the right thing and make sure you layup leaves you at least 120 yards out. Or just strap a pair on and go for it in two and get an eagle…
