Getting Better

I last played Dragonfly in March and the course was pretty beat up from the wicked winter. Played on 5/8 and it’s getting better but still not in the usual better than average condition that Dragonfly is known for.

It’s still worth playing just know that conditions aren’t quite super yet.

Greens are decent enough and roll fairly smooth at a medium-fast pace. Fairways are so so but getting better

Tee boxes are ok and sand traps are excellent

Dragonfly golf course review

Greens were bad and very sandy, fairways were dry and sandy, I had a lot of trouble with the golf carts, I stayed on the cart path the whole time and it kept turning off saying I was off the cart path, it was very annoying and frustrating, did not have a good experience at all, the pace of play was terrible, there was a group in front of me that kept losing their ball and kept looking for it in the deep rough knowing well they wouldn’t find it, I wouldn’t recommend tus course

Best overall course in Fresno

Love this course, for 3 reasons

1. Pace of play always good not like Riverside

2. Great staff always treat you well

3. Ability to get on and play again not like Riverside

In Fresno you only have 2 choices for non private ⛳️ golf

Love Dragonfly

Thanks 😊

First Time Playing

Fun course to play!

First time at Dragonfly and had a good time. Great layout. The conditions could be better but considering the rains we have had this season still playable. The greens are still fairly pure bent grass with only a hint of poa around the edges. They are a little shaggy right now so running a little slow. I'm sure once the sun comes out it'll all come together.

Mr Miserable

Great staff and golf course!! Would love to play there every week, but starting to get expensive with the daylight savings time and weather improvement. May have to wait until next winter to play weekly.

Dragging @ Dragonfly

Slower than Average Round on busy days they need to pair up singles with other players. We followed a Single all day long who was playing behind a twosome.

They should have paired up as a threesome. No excuse for this!

Otherwise DF remains my favorite Public Golf Course.

Ok

Second time playing this course. I enjoyed it the first time. This time, no. . Too many workers on the course. I had workers on 2 greens while I was hitting into it. Didn’t even care to move that big mower, nor did the person move. If they were not on the green, they were working close to it. I almost quit after a few holes.
