I had a WONDERFUL time with my classmates for our 10 year high school reunion at Canyon Oaks…read moreCountry Club. The venue and grounds are well-maintained and beautiful. The staff was courteous and friendly. The food was delicious and SUBSTANTIALLY better than my wedding food at Butte Creek Country Club. The price was moderate, but not overly expensive. It was a very good experience overall. The inside venue space is a bit small for larger gatherings, our group of about 40 fit with extra space. It seems like any more than 70 would be cramped, though I believe they say it fits over 100 easily. The course is stunning, especially at sunset. The rooms were all clean and updated. The staff was kind and helpful. One issue I had was that the events coordinator was not onsite nor was she in communication with me AT ALL the day of the event. I was really surprised to hear that she'd been out golfing earlier in the day as if my event was pretty meaningless to her. Thankfully, the rest of the staff went above and beyond my expectations. A sweet lady even assisted me bringing in all of my boxes of decor and reunion supplies. The food was outstanding, plentiful, and everything I'd hoped for. Some guests said it was a little salty, but I love salt, so I didn't mind one bit. The food is a bit spendy, but it's served at a country club price, so the cost shouldn't surprise anyone. The meal was served by attentive waitstaff. When the kitchen forgot our few veggie dishes, they were quick to make them right away to remedy the issue. The bartender was excellent. He took orders quickly, made excellent drinks, and was friendly. I do wish there were better or different beers on tap. They carry the Sierra Nevada standards, but other than that, the selection is pretty minimal. Other than the few little things I'd have changed, I experience was pretty close to perfect. I'd recommend Canyon Oaks Country club for small to medium events any time. If you're trying to pick between Canyon Oaks and Butte Creek Country Clubs, I'd have to pick Canyon Oaks having had important events at both. Thanks for the wonderful venue, excellent food, and super great time, Canyon Oaks!

I recently went to give it another try and I found it to be as always, a highly professional tournament event with a really nice group of people. There are a lot of really experienced, older players and mixed in a lot of young sharp players. The management and integrity of the games are first rate. They conduct a fair event with total respect to all players and in return, I see all players having a lot of respect for the management and people that put on the tournament. I would highly recommend 99 tournaments. Enjoy meeting some really nice people. Have some fun, enjoy a very nice environment as when you walk in the door, you'll find it a very nice friendly place conducting well managed professional tournaments. Frank Chico, California
