Course History:
This is a great course located in one of the best areas to play golf in California. It first opened in 1958, and it's location on the San Joaquin river helps make this one of the prettiest courses in the Fresno area. With just the right level of challenging play, reasonable green fees and a great atmosphere, this is definitely one course to play at least once in your life.
What You Need to Know:
You can register your tee time by calling the number listed above, but you may want to check their website for some extra discounts on fees, just in case. The pro shop here is definitely top notch and we were surprised at just how extensive their inventory was. This may not be the biggest course in the area, but it is definitely one of the friendliest and one that we intend to return to in the future.
You'll want to go with traditional golf attire, and leave the denim at home while you play here. It's not a course that has a lot of rules, but it's always best to err on the side of caution and go with the best type of gear. The staff is incredibly helpful here and if you don't have the right clubs, you can always rent a set at the pro shop before you head out on the course.
Playing Hints:
Our favorite hole was the fifth. Right away, it looks like an easy par four, right up until you realize just how long it is. You'll need to have a good shot off the tee, and really strive for accuracy on this hole. The fifteenth hole is also a bit tricky. On your approach to the green, take care to avoid the sand trap that is guarding it. You won't be able to see it until it's too late, so try a shorter approach shot to give yourself a chance to miss this hazard.
On the seventeenth hole, make sure that you really go short on your approach shot. The back of the green slopes sharply and you’ll end up way over par three on this hole if you’re not careful.
