Editor's Note: Course closed for business in 2019.
If you are looking for Sonora golf deals, the choices in this small historical community are very limited. In fact, the Phoenix Lake Golf Course is this only full service public course in the area. This 9 holes course is short but is scenic and an provides an interesting challenge. The course is a 1 hour drive east of Stockton in Central California.
The course is a par 35 with a course rating of 33.2 and a slope of 115. The Phoenix Lake Golf Course architect is Bert Stamps who designed the course in 1968. The total yardage is 2,711 yards from the black tees. While the course is short by most standards, the course has its nuances. The fairways are very narrow and lined with majestic oak trees. Sullivan Creeks winds throughout the course and comes into play on several holes. The greens are kept at a reasonable speed. Most clubs in your bag will be used.
When you need Sonora tee times for a quick round of golf, Phoenix Lake Golf Course tee times are the only ones available in the area and the prices are very reasonable. Amenities include a putting green, driving range, fully stocked pro shop, cart rentals and a restaurant.

Golf Now Inaccurately Advertised as 18 holes
I bought the round marked as 18 holes and a cart. When i got there the golf course told me that it was only good for nine. The staff was nice but GolfNow needs to get their deals in order.
The tees and fairways were in extremely poor condition (drought) but the greens were fantastic. The course offers great sights and if you have a problem hitting fairways this course is not for you.
Too Rough for a Flat-Lander
The holes were interesting enough with a lot of ups and downs as well as gullies to shoot over with a lot of carry needed. Fairways, however, were really non existent ... VERY clumpy, weedy and rough! The greens were nice although a bit slow. It was an OK experience but probably will not play there again. It was just too rough and the slopes and carries tough for us "flat landers" from the valley.
had time for nine
Have played here several times. Course in pretty good shape for drought conditions
Great fun
We had beautiful weather and very nice people in the office and on the course. The greens were like carpet and the views were gorgeous. We'd love to go back.
Mostly Fun
We were overrun by rude golfers during the first half of our round as most of the people around us did not follow proper golf etiquette. The course distance is poorly marked and the score card distance did not match actual distance. We were not told about a temporary green on #3 (I had played this course before and overhit the green on my drive thinking that the green was in the original location).
This is a fairly easy course and scores were low. The weather was great and my own personal company even better.
An enjoyable and quick course.
I play this course quit a bit. I enjoy the course and they do a pretty good job of maintaining it. A few of the greens have a few dead spots but they seem to be trying to get the greens back into good condition. The staff is friendly.
This is a very challenging course
For a nine hole golf course, it is in very good shape. You need to be on your game to keep your ball in the fareways and the putting greens are in good shape and the ball sticks well. good luck and have fun!
fine course
the course is in great shape and play was fast even with a foursome in front of us
Good for beginners
Fast greens. 9 hole course. Good for beginners. Fairways could use some attention.
Nice, small course - good for walking.
This course has greatly improved over the last few years. Cart paths have been paved, fences put in, the greens are really nice. But it is a 9 hole course, so you are basically playing the same holes twice if you want to play 18. For just 9, it is a great, fun little course.
