Elkhorn Golf Club

One of the nicer courses in the area. Only reason for the lower ratings is the customer service. I'm not a serious professional golfer, I golf to have a good time. With that being said it was tough to do, thanks to the customer service. Starting at the driving range, where I was shocked to learn you couldn't use your driver. Rather than a little "hey its irons only on the range" I had to hear this long spill about how long the range is and how there's houses here and there. The point was understood. However the experience didn't stop there actually continued midway through hole 1. One shot in the same guy is back yelling about the 90 degree rule. How you stay on the path and only cross at a 90 degree angle. (The 102 degree angle taken I guess was a big deal) from there it seemed as if the guy continued to "unintentionally" follow us looking for something to complain about (this equals not the funniest golf) at about hole 4 here he comes again to let us know that we were too close to the greens. We were behind the rope that was put up but in his eyes too close. To top it off the cart path was yards away and it was pooring rain. Again the approach by the representative wasn't friendly, rather more of a scolding rude one. Due to the customer service and pooring rain our foursome decided it wasn't worth it to continue playing and stopped after 8 holes.

As stated before the course is one of the nicer ones in the area, I would say if you're an advanced golfer that knows every golf rule in the book and don't mind spending a decent amount of money this course is for you. If you're like me and like to relax n play to have a good time I would probably recommend Swenson or Mickes grove. Elkhorn seems to target people that don't come dressed like a PGA professional if you know what I mean.

The course was in pretty good shape. They are doing a lot of work around 15 and 16, made course less enjoyable, but still good value

Always a pleasure to make the 20 mile jaunt to Stockton to play one of the best muni courses in the area. Friendly staff and a challenging course await you for your 4 hour tour of this beautiful course. You may not shoot your best score here, but you will feel challenged and satisfied.

The greens are always in great shape. The course is always being improved.

Fairways can be a bit of a challenge for those who have a hook or slice. The ball did roll nicely on the fairways I did hit.
Extremely friendly staff. Carts with a ball and club washer on the fender! The Bar Cart came around 4 times in 18 holes. Some places I've played your lucky to see it once. Overall good place to play. Staff made it a Great place to play!

I understand that during the winter play will be slowed, but booking groups back to back to back within 3 minutes of each other isn't right. We pay to enjoy the game, not to be hurried along by the marshal when there is no place to go. It's frustrating and not a pleasant experience. Being hurried just to wait some more behind at least three groups is silly.

This was a great course but since new owners it has dropped a little in quality! The green fees are lower so they don't have money to put back into course so it is a fair trade off. It will be the gem in the Valley again and still is good now. Little disappointed on change on #15 as looks like remove water from front side of green!

Very crowded conditions, but that was to be expected the day after Christmas. The pace was slow because of he population out there. Major construction going on which affects 15 and 16. Fairly easy course and overall appears well cared for. The amount of wear and tear to the greens was simply a factor of the amount of people playing that day. Overall it was a good course, easy to play and I would certainly play this one before going to the muni courses in Stockton.

The course is always in good condition and the greens roll true. This is a very walkable course and is a good walk during the Sumer. There are a lot of houses surrounding the course and you can they have been hit a bunch. I will play this course many times more.

This used to be a private course. They closed it a few years back and reopened it and added public play. They have the best pro shop I have ever seen. A great course conditions. Near perfect greens. (imported from a championship course.). They have a full bar and restaurant and dining room and banquet room. and an outside patio eating. Two putting greens and the friendliest Pro and help of any place I have been. For an added fee you can have access to the locker room complete with shower, poker table, and dressing areas. I will join their course for 2015.

Good course but they should not allow five domes to play and slow down everyone else. No marshall on duty to tell them to speed up or let people play through.

they has a threesome holding up a foursome. Need someone to pickup pace of play.

Course was maintained very well. Many opportunities to hit homes and cars though. Overall very nice course I will play again and again

Played as a single and got stuck behind 2 slow groups of 4 that would not let me play through. Still finished the round in about 4 hours. The staff and grounds were great and received a great rate from golfnow. One of the best in Stockton. Will play there again, no doubt about it

good course, friendly staff, will come back again.

The course was in very good condition and the greens were excellent.

Really a nice course. Greens in great shape, fairways not too hard or soft, pace of play outstanding. Three or four really interesting holes.

We'll definitely be back.

great mix of long holes and short holes that made you hit quality shots well placed fairway bunkers that were fair to hit out of, greens roll true to the stroke would like to see red white blue flags for hole position

got a hot deal and aplyed, paired with two other guys and had a fine round. Pace of play was excellent, and the course is in really good shape.

First time and I was underwhelmed. The greens are nice but there are better courses to play on 8mile. I'd rather play either of the other two over elkhorn.
