Fun layout, greens in good condition
Fun layout, greens were nice. The tee boxes and fairways left a little to be desired. Pace of.play was slow, but it was a Saturday afternoon so that was expected
Fun Challenging layout
Fun challenging lay out, greens were in good condition, the rest of the course was just average. They did just replace the sand in all the greenside bunkers. Pace of play wasn't great
Always a treat
Greenhorn Creek is always worth the 1+ hour drive from Modesto, the greens are slower this summer but its allowing for better scores. I like the bar and restaurant for pre/post round food/bev and the layout is always a challenge
Fun challenging course
Wow, I don’t remember the last time I had this much fun on a course. I was a solo with nobody in front or behind me. I played at amazing pace throughout this challenging course. Wonderful scenery and course layout. The cart path got a bit confusing at times but that didn’t bother me much. Amazing depth changed throughout the course. Not too hard but definitely not for the faint of heart Scary yet exciting holes.
Great condition
The course overall great condition greens not to receptive ball bounce runout little to far but it was warm greens little hard other than great track I'll definitely be back
Great Golf Course - We Will Be Back
Super fun layout played from the blue and white combo tee boxes. First time playing the course and it’s awesome when you can take aggressive shots over trees on the dog leg lefts and rights. The shots are blind but if you trust your golf app gps and trust your shot then why not go for it? The course has a lot of elevation change so have your distances dialed in for those shots up or down. My son and I both loved the course and we have it on our favorites list. We will for sure be back to play it again!
25 years later
Weather was cool, not cold. Only issue really was we finished at 4:15pm and barely got a beer in time before they closed the bar. What??
Course was great, thought it's condition was top shelf.
Perfect conditions: course/weather!
A great course layout meandering through trees and ponds that make you think twice about which club to use? Greens are always fast. Afternoon play cost less and not too crowded. Better ply soon because greens become even faster!
Did eat there but they have an excellent restaurant.
No notice of aeration and rude staff
Nothing like showing up for a tee time only Tom find out they did aeration last week, “ you probably won’t know the difference” as the pro shop attendant asks as enter the pro shop while on his cell phone. I tell the gentleman my time and he responds, “ you’re pretty early” …yes I’d like to hit balls…” we are out and I’m not sure when we’ll have the time to pick the balls, we’re slammed” nobody was around and now I’m just getting upset. It’s unfortunate that some courses treat their golfnow customers differently and with spite. After all that nonsense I obviously did notice the aeration and it wasn’t great. After a 2:45 minute front nine i left and have no desire to ever return . Do better, that was ridiculous
Amazing day at Greenhorn Creek
Staff were amazing as soon as entering pro shop and very friendly. Pace of play could’ve been slightly better but it was a great day and perfect weather to be outside. Will definitely be returning soon!
