Lockford Springs Golf Course is located in: Lodi, CA
Phone: 209-772-1081
Website: http://www.lockefordsprings.com
Course History:
This course was designed by Jim Summers and Sandy Tatum and quickly became a favorite of golfers from the entire bay area. The course is well suited to players of all levels and is challenging enough to give a pro a great round of golf.
What You Need to Know:
This is definitely a full service golf course and the practice facilities are unmatched. The grill is also top notch as well as the pro shop. You can really make a great afternoon of it here and have a lot of fun while you're at it. The course is home to numerous events and tournaments throughout the year and it is easy to see why.
You can register your tee time by calling the number above or you can use their online registration system. We recommend checking their website often as they usually have specials or giveaways every month. It is a good idea to register your tee time around two weeks in advance since this is a popular course.
We recommend wearing traditional golf attire such as a collared shirt and slacks when golfing here. They do observe PGA rules so you'll want to be on your best behavior at this course. We also recommend soft spikes so it's a good idea to change out your metal ones before you arrive.
Playing Hints:
The main issue with this course for many players are the hidden water hazards. It's difficult to know where they are until you are right on top of them so you will want to play with caution at least the first time around. This is a championship links course so expect to deal with sloping greens, changes in elevation in the fairways and numerous hazards along the way.
The only holes that do not have a water hazard are the seventh, ninth, third and seventeenth holes. That doesn't mean they are easy however. Most have narrow fairways, so you're going to want to avoid the rough at all costs. With most holes, your best bet is to really hit it off the tee as straight as possible. The one exception would be the fifth hole where you are going to want to hit it to the left to avoid the rough. The eighteenth hole also has a severe dog leg filled with rough, so it's best to go as left as you can on this hole as well.

Stone Tree Golf Club is located in: Novato, CA
Phone: 415-209-6435
Website: http://www.stonetreegolf.com
Course History:
Stone Tree Golf Club was opened in 2000 and was designed by Johnny Miller, Sandy Tatum, Jim Summers and Fredrick C. Bliss, ASGCA. The Par 72 course stretches out over more than 6800 yards and has a rating of 72.7. The slope rating is 137 on rye grass. The scenery around the course is absolutely breathtaking and this is considered to be one of the best courses in Northern California.
What You Need to Know:
Please note that this course does have a dress code. They ask that players wear collared shirts and if shorts must be worn, they must reach the knee. No denim or cutoffs are allowed on the course. In addition, this is a soft spike only course, please remove metal spikes before you arrive.
Pace of play is observed with 15 minutes allotted per hole. In addition, no offsite beverages or food may be brought onto the course. The on site Black Pointe bar and grill is open every day for breakfast through dinner and the pro shop has all the latest gear and apparel.
Playing Hints:
The first hole is very straightforward and is a great warm up for what is to come. By the time you get to the first par five at hole six, you'll be ready for the challenge of water hazards and bunkers that are waiting to mess up your game. Try to keep to the center of the fairway as much as you can to get the best score on this hole.
Hole eleven features not only a dogleg but also water hazards and bunkers that can really trip you up. Your best bet is to play it long on the first shot and then use your iron to get a better approach shot once you get to the water hazard.
The fourteenth hole is pretty easy until you get to the green. Aim carefully, as it is quite common to overshoot this one and get trapped in the really nasty rough.
The eighteenth hole has a creek, another water hazard and a bunker, as well as a great dogleg, making it a tough hole to finish with. However, with practice you can birdie this hole, provided you use the right combination of clubs and careful aim.
