Extremely slow pace from the start….

A great course and piece of nature unfortunately overshadowed by the lack of management of pace on the course. After my tee off at #1 it was backed up and I found myself waiting behind (2) groups of 4. Being frustrated with the pace, I chose to only golf 9 holes since it took a very long time at that point. Before leaving, I seen a large group finishing up on the 18th green, a group of 9!!!!! No wonder play was at a snails pace.

Next time I look to get away, Greenhorn will not be in the mix of choices, unfortunately since it is a nice course.

Starters needed. Marshall would be nice also...

Members tee off ahead of their tee time leaving you a single stuck between 2 groups of bad golfers waiting on every hole. It is common for me to skip the tenth as you will find by doing that then purse opens up. I come back around to play it after 18.

People teeing off ten minutes before their tee time drive me nuts! So selfish! Pro shop says "be there five minutes before your time as you are paired up". I'm there 10 minutes before and waiting for the pair up. Apparently they were going off early and didn't ask about the player to join where they were told.

Fix the tee boxes please. It is really an easy task.

Excellent fairways and greens

Great course with narrow fairways and large oak trees galore. Slopes are tricky, and we heard many balls bouncing off the homes flanking the fairways. Our group found a couple of houses to hit inadvertently. Scenery and vibe is chill. Well designed and maintained course. We'll be back.

AERATION ALERT!!!

Did not know the course had been aerated. Would have gone elsewhere, as a course that aerates should shut down for a month until conditions improve. You cannot play the greens, so 1/4 of the course is unplayable.

Fun Challenging layout

Fun challenging lay out, greens were in good condition, the rest of the course was just average. They did just replace the sand in all the greenside bunkers. Pace of play wasn't great

Always a treat

Greenhorn Creek is always worth the 1+ hour drive from Modesto, the greens are slower this summer but its allowing for better scores. I like the bar and restaurant for pre/post round food/bev and the layout is always a challenge
