The Courses of Clear Creek - Deer Run/Armadillo Hills Course
Played On 03/22/2024First time playing at Clear Creek
I’ll start with the Proshop employee … very nice guy, who knew what Battalion my Son was in when I didn’t even know. He mention that there might be slow play as there was a tournament going on. As I approached the first tee (15 mins before my start) group after group of these tournament players would drive up to the box. I wasn’t gonna get in between their tournament so I went back to the Proshop and asked if I could start on the back nine.
Once I got under way, I found that the course condition were okay, but the greens surprised me with how fast they were. Much faster than at the other local course. I ended up getting stuck behind a foursome but noticed that there was no one head of them so I jumped from the 13th tee box and played the 15th par 3 and then jumped back to finish 13 and 14 before passing them up at the 15th tee box. From there until I came around to the 1st tee, it was quick sailing.
Being that it was my first time playing here, I had no one to suggest ball placement so I learned by fire. The 1st hole really doesn’t require a wood or even hybrid off the tee. #2 presented tree issues as I found 3 of them before getting to the green. Hole placements presented some issues as they might be on the edge of a slope on the green. Think I 3 putted 4 times 🥺.
In conclusion, I found the course conditions okay, greens fast, pace of play okay. I’m here for another 3 weeks and will return with a better understanding of the course conditions and layout. Hopefully won’t be windy that day as well.

Played On 03/18/2024First time playing
Visiting my Son in Killeen. Decided I’d like to get in a round of Texas golf. Found this municipal course so tried it out. Weather was windy, but no rain … found an excellent deal on Golfnow. I was told if no one was on the 1st tee to go ahead and start. I ended up catching up to a twosome by the third hole and had a twosome behind me, but was never forced to play faster. I saw a couple of fivesomes out there but they didn’t impact me. Fairways are okay, greens are slower than what I’m used too. Course layout is fine but a little challenging since this was my first time here. There are some signs of aging (the brick retaining wall between the lake and green side rough on #15 has come apart). Would I recommend this course … sure at $27. Maybe at $40-50, but probably not more than that.
The Bridges Golf Club
Played On 01/23/2024Unfortunately wet and not currently in it’s best condition
Was hoping the course would have drained better, but you can see they had staff working on the course. Still has a nice layout that could be challenging. Will come back once the weather and conditions are better.
Thanks so much for the great review, E46SC3. We look forward to welcoming you back to our course soon. Thanks for choosing The Bridges Golf Club.
The Metropolitan Golf Links
Played On 01/18/2024Nice layout, fair course conditions
I like the layout which makes me question why I don’t play here more often. Maybe it’s the lack of trees or memorable landmarks. It is a links style course so maybe that’s my issue, because each hole is pretty straight forward … you can for the most part miss your fairway and still be in a position to get back to the green you are playing.
Conditions are where they could do better. I found myself hitting out of divots and hard pan a few times too many.
However, for the $30 twilight rate, it was a bargain. My only issue I had was at the pro shop. The guy (head pro) who checked me in, claimed that my reservation didn’t include a cart. I didn’t question what he said until I walked out of the pro shop by looking at my reservation online and saw it did. I ended up walking the front nine, but came back into the pro shop at the turn to request the cart which a different guy gave me.
Napa Golf Course at Kennedy Park
Played On 10/06/2023Good course, spoiled members
So last year a friend of mine and I had an early tee time. By the time we reached the second hole we already had a single approaching us. No big deal, we’ll let them join us or play through. By the time we reached the third hole, another single came up upon us. We told her that we’d let her by on the par 3 - 4th hole. After she had passed we tee’d up and had yet another single come up on us. I really didn’t have an issue with letting them by, but I questioned the last guy what time was his start time. He told me that he worked for the course and that the other two who had played through were members. For so reason my friend got all upset and took it out on me and quit playing. Haven’t spoken to him since. Just alittle upset they didn’t group the three of them together.
Fast forward to last Friday, I’m now there with a different friend. I booked the very first tee time and we got there 20 minutes early. I go into the pro shop to check in and while doing so, the employee hands a cart key to a young lady (I think she was one of the members that we let play through last year). Anyways, my friend and I load our cart and head over to the first tee box and notice a man had tee’d off in the dark. I couldn’t even see his ball flight. The young lady was already on the woman’s tee box getting ready to start off. So, we wait a few minutes … tee off and were fortunate that the group behind us was a threesome. I have no doubt that if a member had walked up, they would have tee’d off between us and pushed their way passed us.
Course was decent with a few dried up patchy fairways. The green had been punched but wasn’t much of an issue other than being slow. A few greens had some ugly scarring.
Corica Park - South Course
Played On 09/28/2023Nice links style course.
Third time playing since the remodel. Brought a few new comers to the course to see what they thought. They felt the course was in good condition. Greens were well taken care of. The rough areas, not so much. I personally feel the fees are fairly priced and look forward to the opening of the full 18 on the North course.
The Course at Wente Vineyards
Played On 09/27/2023Back after long layoff from Wente
It’s been a long time since I last played at Wente. Long enough that I really couldn’t remember but 1 hole. What I found was a good conditioned course that I felt was a little overpriced. Would I comeback to play it any again … sure, but I won’t be rushing back. Maybe if the fees were around 25% cheaper, I’d find myself playing it more.
The Reserve at Spanos Park
Played On 09/11/2023Very nice course
The Reserve at Spanos Park is probably my favorite course in the Stockton area. On this particular visit, there were a lot of twosomes and threesomes on the course. Which seem to make for good pace of play. Conditions were good.
Regulation at Las Positas Golf Course
Played On 08/21/2023Nice course but conditions could be better
Got on as a Golfnow hot deal so the green fees were low. Had a little bit of tropical storm Hillary blowing around so there was leaves all over a few greens. Fairways were okay. Bunkers need some work. Pace of play for our afternoon start was great. Got done in less than 3 hours and 15 mins. For me this is a once a year golf course due to conditions and distance from home.
Hiddenbrooke Golf Club
Played On 08/18/2023Likable course, but …
When I first played this course probably over 20 years ago, I loved this course. Over the years, it’s dropped down in my rankings of a must play course to an occasional course. The greens have gotten poorer in conditions. They have moved the tees up which is okay for some, but it’s changed the make up for me. A year or so ago, they cleaned up the creek like area by cutting a lot of plant growth out which help improve the look of the course. I’ve always hated the range which is located across the Main Street and is played up a hill.
San Ramon Golf Club
Played On 08/14/2023Fair condition course at a great price
I used a GolfNow hot deal. At $30.00 that was a good deal. Combined with me redeeming with a $10.00 hot deal golf pass code it became $20.00 … can’t beat that.
Glad to hear you were able to snag one of those deals and get a good round in for the price. Hope you come back again soon!
Brentwood Golf Club - Creekside/Hillside Course
Played On 07/28/2023Better condition than last time
Course conditions have improved since the last time I played here. They are now allowing carts back on to most fairways. Greens aren’t bad, but some of the people playing here need to learn to fix their ball marks. Under current conditions, I’d recommend playing here. The prior sloppy conditions not so much.
Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your observation regarding the improved course conditions and the allowance of carts on most fairways. We apologize for any inconveniences caused by the previous conditions and hope to provide a better experience for you in the future.
Morgan Creek Golf and Country Club
Played On 07/11/2023Third time playing this course
And unfortunately, each time I have come back the conditions are slightly worse. The last time I thought the drought had taken its toll, but this time I expected better and found the course still not very green. I probably won’t keep Morgan Creek on my list of courses worthy to be on my annual golf outing. But probably would come back in a few years hoping for some improvement.
Los Lagos Golf Course
Played On 07/03/2023First time playing Los Lagos
Had a good time playing Los Lagos. The layout isn’t the hardest but I enjoyed it. Conditions were good. Putting surface okay (a few too many unrepaired ball marks). Wish the course was closer to home, as not sure the value outweighs the distance. If you’re in the neighborhood, you should give it a try.
Emerald Lakes Golf Course
Played On 06/26/2023Very nice par 33 course
I enjoyed playing Emerald Ranch very much. Not very hard, but not extremely easy. Saw the course from Hwy 99 and thought it looked nice. It didn’t disappoint. Pace of play was around 2 hours with a 5 year old playing in our group.
Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Emerald Lakes Golf Course.
Bradshaw Ranch Golf Course
Played On 06/26/2023Simple round on a decent par 27 course
As far as par 3 courses go … Bradshaw provides a simple layout, in decent condition. Pace of play was quick … about 1.25 hours. Probably wouldn’t be worth driving a long way to play by itself, but if in the neighborhood, check it out.
Corica Park - South Course
Played On 05/31/20232nd time since remodel
Very nice course. Not an extremely hard course if the winds are light. Greens are probably the best thing about this course. Rough can be a challenge. Looking forward to playing the North course once they’re finished with its remodel.
Wildhorse Golf Course
Played On 02/06/2023Decent layout, but …
Decent layout, but course conditions could be better. Good enough to comeback to in the future.
Hiddenbrooke Golf Club
Played On 10/11/2022One of my local favorites
Course is playable but they are reseeding in some areas, guess that should be considered a good thing. They have cleaned up some areas that make the course more appealing. Not my favorite driving range though.
The Reserve at Spanos Park
Played On 08/08/2022Nice day on the course, greens need some attention
Course conditions weren’t bad but the greens had a bit of ball marks from inconsiderate players. Seems to be the normal for the last few courses I’ve played. We had a threesome behind our foursome that seemed to be in a rush hitting into us as we we’re about to drive off from a green. You just couldn’t wait another 10-15 seconds … Our pace of play shouldn’t have been an issue as we played under 4 hours
Thank you for your positive rating! We’re thrilled to hear you had a positive experience and can't wait to have you back again sometime soon.
