Very Disappointed in the State of the course

I used to love Dragonfly and was one of my go to courses when I worked in Fresno. It’s been about 3 years since I’ve played here and the course has really gone downhill yet prices have increased.

The main issue was the state of the areas around the greens Absolutely horrendous. Mainly hard packed dirt with patches of grass here and there. This includes the fringe area of the greens. The greens themselves are in the process of being aerated. They were out punching them as we were playing. Greens had a number of dead spots in them.

Sand traps were a mixed bag. Half were rock beds that were more gravel pits than anything. Certainly nothing you want to swing nice clubs through. A few had beautiful sand.

Fairways were fine. Decent coverage throughout and offered both a nice hitting surface and good rollout. Tee boxes were pretty chewed up. Manageable but not ideal by any means.

No complaints with the staff members. Dragonfly has been hiring all teenagers for the last 5+ years and hats off to the kids as I’ve never had an issue with any of them. They are all friendly and attentive.

I would seriously avoid this place. There are better options with cheaper rates in the area

It was a nice mid afternoon tee time

It was a nice mid afternoon tee time and I played with a father and son who only played 9 holes. the rest of the time I was a single which is fine with me.

There are some rough terrain areas that could be improved as bouncing around in a cart that could knock you teeth out, that terrain sucks. Also their bunkers aren't that good, some are fine, some have so little sand, a 1/2 inch, that its like hitting off hidden hard pan and then there are those that seem fairly decent.

Nice Course, good layout

Hadn’t played Dragonfly in a while. Nice course, good layout, patchwork grass around 1/2 the greens. Otherwise an enjoyable course.

Good day for a bad player

Based on the courses I have played in my life it is a 5 on a 1 to 10 scale. Bunkers are always in bad shape.

Great Day For Golf @ DF

I play Dragonfly 8-10 times per year & it’s a fantastic Golf Course. Course conditions not at their best due to the fact it’s only April but you can tell things are improving with all the Sunny Weather we have been having. Greens not quite recovered from aerification & were rolling slower than usual, which caused me to leave a majority of my putts short. But all in all a Great Day on the Golf Course!

Great greens, tee boxes and fairways!!

The course is in great shape and the staff is very nice!! We went off after a tournament and that didn’t effect our play at all. Thank you for a great day!

Horrible

Tried to cancel my tee time. Nobody answered the phone. Called 2 days in a row to talk to the manger “Kirk” he never called me back. They took my money and didn’t want to hear my explanation. Horrible service.
