Swenson Park Golf Course - The Oak Course

Landscape was really nice. Greens and fairways are really well kept.

Great course for the money. Just watch out for squirrel holes

the staff at swenson very friendly. course real fun to play. food and beverage good and resonable

I've played there many times over the year and have always had a great time. Staff is very friendly and professional. I've had several friends play here and their comments were all positive.

Course is improving and the greens are in great shape. Lots of tree trimming is making the course look great. Nice easy walking track. Beautiful oak trees.

The tee boxes were being worked on and you were teeing off 50 yards ahead of normal. It would have been nice to notify us before hand as it might change my decision to play there. Also I prepaid and the worker in the shop wanted to charge me again. Luckily I had my email proof on my phone. I have read other reviews stating the same thing so be careful not to get charged twice.

Played yesterday. Got to the course and the computer systems were down. The guys in the pro shop were working on gettin the system back up but didnt hesitate to get us out when we let them know we had gone through GolfNow. Told them it was our first time playing and they let us know where everything was.
Met some locals on the first tee that were teeing off prior to us and they werre extremely frienly and let us know the lay of the land.
Got paired up with a couple locals which were a great benefit. Dew on the ground early which made the greens roll a little slower. As they dried up during the day they got quite a bit faster. Greens were in pretty good shape. As with most courses anymore people need to fix their divots.
Course was in really good conditions. Fairways were pretty green and did not notice any bare spots.
It was pretty cool to see all the wildlife on the course.
Will be making this drive again.

Early morning tee time, no waiting, off on time, no hold up on any tee. Fairways in decent shape regardless of drought. Greens also in good shape. Enjoyed the round of golf.

Relatively good course given that it is a muni, and California is in the middle of a drought. In comparison to similar courses in the area, I would rate this course behind Creekside, but ahead of Dryden Park in Modesto. The greens and fairways were in decent shape despite the drought, but there are definitely some brown areas. The layout is relatively flat, although it has to have the bumpiest fairways I have ever driven over. I was a bit worried that the golf cart would come apart. Probably a few too many Ground Squirrel holes.

I had a really good time playing at this course. I look forward to return to this course. this is all i have to say.

I have golfed swenson for the last 40 years. I have never seen the greens this perfect. The only issue was the ball marks that jerks didnt fix. The fairways were ok and tee boxes are a little scruffy. The course was generally well maintained. The staff and cafe folks were friendly. Overall great shape for the middle of a drought.

This course is great if you want to get out of the house, and no go to far. Minus the ground squirrel holes, this course is well maintained for a muni course. I will be returning.

I love Swensons GC....this one Saturday there were no carts available because 10 were down and they had a match play tournament . I didn't even play as it was 11:30 and no sign of getting out with a cart..our tee time was 11:08am. I left and went to Van Buskirk to play and ate my online fees to Golf Now. First time that's ever happened but a big dissapointment.
Staff was excellent...they knew they'd run late and gave us a small obucket on the house.. I did over hear that it took 1-1/2 hrs to play 3 holes..another reason why we left. I'll be back tho

Solid average course with a lot of narrow fairways as they are tree lined. Some pretty long holes as well. Played as a twosome and were done in 3 hours on a Sunday. Great value for the money.

Since 1975 I have played this coarse of and on since I was in high school across the street. I have played some nice private cc's but still enjoy playing this coarse from time to time. It has a few holes that are fun to play with big old oak trees. See a fox or two!

We are in a drought so relax and keep it in the fairway! The greens are nice.

The course is really starting to shape up. Greens just punched a week ago but it was still very puttable

An excellent public course for your typical hacker...

This course is insanely long. Open and welcoming with some interesting twists. I'll be back

I played oct 5. Booked on GolfNow. There were no alerts on GolfNow. Arrived to play. Was told that " a couple of tee boxes were under repair so the tees were moved up." As it turned out, ALL tee boxes were under repair and thus everything was either moved up to the ladies tees, and sometimes even to an arbitrary, undefined location on the fairway.
No mention was made of the greens, but clearly they were aerated not to long ago. Putting on the green was like putting on an obstacle course. I was not satisfied. And also, the course was a little too brown for my liking, but thats expected with the drought.

Since I'm local, I've played this course over and over. My friends and I know what to expect for at this public course. The hundreds of squirrels is a known issue here, but this last time we experience another known draw back to Swenson which is poor customer service. After checking in and telling her we were ready, the starter made our riding foursome wait to tee off (aprox. 15 min. while no one teed off) so a walking two-some with a riding two-some could go off first. We pushed them the whole front nine. They finally caught a walking two-some who wisely let them pass then two holes later let us pass. No sign of a marshal ever on this course.
