Swenson Park Golf Course - The Oak Course

Beautiful old course with mature piñon pine and oak groves throughout. Greens in great condition except one. The ground squirrels own this place. This course definitely needs help from Carl the groundskeeper. Maybe a paved cart path would save us from the bone jarring ride through gopher craters?? Great value for the price, and pace of play was good for the weekend. My round took 2hr 45minutes.

The greens was in good condition, some fairways was little thin of grass and dry. Overall the course was good for a city muni course.

Fun course. Great value for the money. Bunkers and bathrooms need improvement.

Weather was great, course in great shape , had a blast like always.

Swenson is a tree lined course which is fairly flat and doesn't have a lot of water or sand traps -but you must stay out of the trees if you are going to score well. Swenson has recently redone their tee boxes with 4 sets of rated tees. This makes the course much friendlier for a senior man or for a woman golfer-so you can play it forward and have more fun. There is also a resident red fox that you might see on the course.

I have golfed a number of times here. it is my go to last minute place to golf if I find I have a few hours open. The golf pro, staff is always friendly. I am a recreational golfer, and enjoy the course because it is forgiving as it has wide fairways. I enjoy the fact that the pace it good, carts are great and it is just fun. Old growth trees will cause you a few challenges, the greens have been from fast to slow depending of time of year and it is well maintained. Go and have fun. If you just learning or a seasoned pro-... Enjoy

The only problem is that they aren't pairing up people at tee box letting twosome singles go off instead of pairing other than that great course.

The rough has a lot of gopher holes that can swallow up your ball even though it was a decent shot . I had a few good drives that just rolled off the fairway and couldn't find the ball.. Greens are perfect condition without being to fast.. Good time overall.

it was ok.the greens were recently sanded.fairways are wide open.

I play Swenson about 2-4 times a yr, the course was in good condition for the most part the fairways are open but this course has sooo many trees along the fariways any shot not in the fairway will punish u. the greens are big dry and FAST. pace of play is my real issue with swenson.

Fun for all levels of players. Can be challenging in the wind. 4 hours to play. Economical price to play

The Starter (Patty) was so persistent in trying to get another rider on my cart that she charged me $25 saying I did not pre-pay thru Golf Now! This isn't my first time encountering problems with this individual. A couple of years back I had to report her manager to Stockton City Officials and got them to apologize for falsely accusing me of leaving an alcohol bottle in the cart when in fact having a witness saw as I removed that bottle from a fairway which was littered by some other golfer. This is a neighborhood course which I enjoy playing but certain staff members in my opinion aren't to thrilled about people of color:-(!!!

Greens needed to be cut and rolled..course in good shape overall!

I use to enjoy this course but it's really gone downhill. From tee box, to fairways to greens it seemed to be lacking in maintenance. Couldn't hear the starter and there was confusion at the 1st. tee. Everybody asking everybody what their tee time was to see who was up. No marshals on this course anymore and play was painfully slow the front nine. Tire ruts and squirrel holes galore.

I hope this course can turn around and be worthy again... =-(

Pace was to slow with no marshal in site to regulate. There were 5 somes and 6 somes going on in front and behind me that day. Paid for the cart rate but not enough carts available. To far to travel to get frustrated golf is tough enough. The guy working there was nice enough gave me the range balls in lieu of not having a cart. Range was also inadequate.

Out twosome was paired with another two some. Even so, we LOST several balls in the fairway as they just mushed into the grass. The course was very wet and they probably should not have allowed carts on it as there were grooves all over the fairways from the carts with the wet fairways. The wind was blowing, but the even with the sun out and pretty, the course suffered, as did our scores. We have played here before, and enjoyed the course, but this round was bad. I am sure with some drying out, it will return to playable. The course plays long and with the conditions, it played very long. We will go back, but not for several months and give it some time. Bunkers were very poor, just mud.

The conditions and pace if play was super slow and it cost me 7.95 to book the time though golf now so that was a waist

Given that we played the course on the first cold day of a winter snap, we were very impressed with the condition of the course. Not that the fairways were pristine -- the absence of rain and an extended season certainly has taken its toll in places -- but the greens were outstanding.

We've been talking about playing the course for a long time, and we'll definitely be back!

IM born and raised in Stockton and Im embarrassed to say that im from this city !! This golf course is just as expected of a city course from STOCKTON...... A WASTE of Money ! The fairways are muddy , sand traps are not even sand , Tee boxes have crabgrass and dead spots all over ......Your penalized for hitting the ball in the fairway , better off in the rough... GOPHER HOLES GALORE !!!!! I will NEVER play at SWENSON again !!!!!!!!!!

They were so busy we had to wait for a cart, BUT they comp'd us a bucket of balls to use during the 1/2 hr. wait. Then the other two who were supposed to go with us didn't show up so we went out as a two-some following hundreds of four-somes...despite that, it was a fairly decent pace. The course is REALLY pretty and we got to see a fox up close and personal when it was almost dark and we circled around to get a couple holes in behind us instead of waiting for the groups in front of us. WOW.
