"Links" style course

Spanos is sometimes known as the "links" course in the Central Valley. All that really mean is that it just doesn't have any trees.

Fun layout, challenging, long and can tend to be windy. Worth it though!

Great Course

This was our first time here. Absolutely loved this course. Challenging fairways, greens and traps. Water hazards make it fun and technical.

Highly recommend this is our new Favorite Course. Also the staff was very friendly and answered all our questions.

Slow play

Brutal pace, 5-51/2 hours.

Strange since the course was not overbooked, just need course marshal to prevent groups joining together and encourage faster play.

Have played here several times, always the same slow play on a nice course.

Windy As Usual!

Finally no rain! Course was in very good condition considering all the rain we have had. Greens were seeded so putting was slow and not true to the put. I wish they would tell us before we book a tee time? Still managed a good score!

Bad day at Spanos.

Usually have zero issues with The Reserve & can't wait to play again. Not this time. Began with no parking in the lot...looks like they had an event at catering center & golfers were forced to park way out in the driveway. Long walk in. Then they were 20 minutes behind getting our group off the first tee. Once on the course pace of play was horrible. 3 hour front 9, groups stacked up on every tee. Seriously no fun. Half our group left after 9, not able to stomach a 6 hr round. Back 9 played in 2 hrs...my guess is quite a few folks bailed after 9, freeing up some space. Bunkers we experienced were crap, washed out with little to no sand, just mud & hard pan. Greens & fairways in great shape. Rough was punishingly long. Sadly this course is out of the rotation for a bit, need to let the frustration level drop.

Slow Play

We were a threesome with TWO FIVESOMES in front of us. They did not let us play through, and the marshals response was, "Yes, they sent out a few FIVESOMES today". We waited on every shot. Was not an enjoyable round.

Very challenging

Fairway is beautiful, wide open, and guarded by bunkers half way down. The green is also guarded by bunkers and is very fast with wild breaks.You will be challenge and you'll have fun.
