Great Greens
I have played this course for decades and the greens are as fast as I have ever seen them. Winter rules and bumping the ball allows you to almost always have a good lie, for this time of year and the weather, they are managing the course well.
Sad
Sad to see Modesto to not care about sports for youth and high school and to continue to allow the Dryden go to downhill. I guess allowing the homeless to grow in Modesto is more important.
The course was in horrible shape. The greens were not too bad. The front 9 was closed for construction but they’re still charging way to much for that dog track. It’s probably the 2nd worst golf course I’ve ever played! The driving range had no grass to hit off of and no mats. The whole place was a joke
Would give zero stars if I could
Horrible course conditions with dog poop on the green. Got to the course for specific tee time of 1:27, staff reporting they needed to charge golf carts and none would be available for another 30-45 minutes. I was alright with it because they were accommodating with two buckets of balls to practice at the driving range. About 45 minutes later a group with a 1:40 tee time was given a cart and not our group. Spoke with the guy at the front who was annoyed our group wanted 3 carts instead of two but considering we PAID for 3 carts I don’t see the issue. Unprepared. Trashy. Unprofessional. Got a refund after the staff member arguing about us wanting 3 carts when we had waited over an hour for even 1 cart. This place is a lame excuse for a golf course and business. Don’t go here if you want a quality experience.
Why make a tee time
Had a tee time, didn’t have any carts, guy up front said it would be 15 minutes waited an hour still didn’t have carts. Guy up front was rude. Terrible staff. Gave our carts to a tee time that was behind us. Would not recommend.
Improved
Greens rolled true, fairways and ruff were mowed to proper length. Partnered up with two retired gentleman which made for an enjoyable round of golf.
Slow play and no amenities
Slow play was the name of the game all day; bottlenecked 5 groups between two holes. There was no running water in their mobile restrooms (still no work or construction on their old pro shop/restrooms/ clubhouse), no food area, and just a lack of any offering beyond the course, restrooms around holes, and that's it. Course was alright, with decent fairways but greens were so-so with sprinklers going all day, trees being cut down all over, and some greens having a pool of water on them. Overall, wouldn't go back for a bit.
Needs work.
Watering during the course of play. to hot burning the grass, should put on timer and water at the end of day in the evening... STOP WATERING WHILE CUSTOMERS ARE PLAYING.
Needs work.
Watering during course play. Interfering with play. Watering during heat of the day burning the course. Should be on a timer to water during the evening after closure of the course.
Needs work.
Watering while playing most of the time. How come they can't put on a timer and water at night? Don't water while customers are playing.
Golf
Greens were solid. Only fixed 5 ball marks all day as compared to previous rounds where I fixed 3-5 per hole. Not the fastest but true. Fairways were pretty rough. Definitely they have cut back on the water. Teed off at 12;24 and was home by 4:00, 20 minutes to drive from the course back home. Would have rated 5 if it weren’t for the fairways.
