Been a while since Covid, playing this course

The weather was perfect and the course remains with awesome scenery. Friendly staff and nice neighborhood. Grass needs to be trimmed a little around fairways, lost 3 balls could not see with tall grasses. Overall still one of my favorite courses. Why is the outside bathroom gets locked at 5pm?

Nothing is perfect

The game was almost perfect except for the carts, driving through steep curves without a good working brakes on cart is dangerous to your customers. starting from Hole 14 was a steep downgrade, when I was telling my hubby to slow down going down, I realized he was already stepping the brakes hard to the floor but yet we were like riding a roller coaster and scared the heck out of me, that gave me a bad headache and did not finish my game from hole 15 to 18. Even the staff that were joy riding the carts that day almost crash on us in hole 15 and said "sorry, carts have bad brakes!" Please check your cart brakes and fix it, especially your course have steep slopes.

Windy day to golf

its a nice course but just needed attention. The Course has its challenges, my husband and I played fairly well. The place is obviously popular with the locals and very family oriented, dogs are welcome. It was a windy and cold day but we enjoyed the game. Once the place receives the needed care and maintenance the course will be good as new. Thank you.

Crowded but manageable

The course is nice, long yards but wet and too many duck's droppings. Overall it was a good game, although it was very cold. I like the course and we'll definitely play it again on a perfect weather.

Miscommunication

We arrived at the golf course early for 2 threesome and were told that we may be joined by one more player, so we waited but staff told us that if they don't show up to go ahead and play. Time came, players showed up late, so guess we started without them. Unfriendly staff approached us and not very nice, bad customer service. Why do we have to delay for latecomers? we paid the right fee, we should not be penalized for being early or on time, plus generally everyone is already playing slow in front of us. We almost did not finished 18th hole just right before it became really dark. Not sure if we'll be playing here again.

New Year Tradition

We've always play on New Year's day at different golf courses. This time in Castle Oaks golf club. A very cold busy day. Game did not start too good, a staff came and gave us a hard time because couple of players did not show up on time so we proceeded as instructed by the staff but came back and said that we should have waited...then at 16 hole, one of the cart's battery died on me. but good thing we finish the 18th hole before dark. May not go back here again.

Nature and golf goes well together

The weather was hot somewhere but perfect here except for smoke from fires in surrounding areas. Glad we got out of town to play golf here. After few months of no golf due to COVID, this place was a hit. My hubby enjoyed as much as I did, awesome nature and a place to consider for retirement. Thank you.

Thank God for Golf course

Inspite of the scary COVID-19, playing golf is a positive thing to do as long as social distancing is maintained. The crowd in the course was normal. pace of play is the same, we have foursome playing in front of us and they were slow. I can tell they are not regular players. Anyway, overall, it was a perfect day for golf.

Crowded labor day

I expected any golf course would be crowded but did not expect how slow it was. A threesome and foursome in front of our group just took their sweet time in every single hole. No marshalls around to remind them that they are not the only players specially on a crowded labor day. 2 groups of twosome passed us by without saying a word, the next we saw them playing in the hole in front of us which slow us further. Anyway, we finish the game after 5 hours. It would not be too bad if it was not very hot that day. Thanks for the cold water jug available throughout the course. It's a fair course.

Fair or Unfair

Our group been playing this course for years now, this is where we play to get together with friends. Anyway it was a hot day and not as busy as a regular day. Course is fairly maintained and we noticed that they have added new staff. Anyway, there is this guy that goes around and telling people can't bring any outside food or drink and told us that the course have everything we need. Well, sorry to say but I've been a vegan and I drink smart water that the canteen does not carry. So I bring my own organic vegan snacks and I hope the management will be more considerate unless you start serving vegan organic food for guest who are health conscious and we understand that the course need to profit. By thy way, please train staff to be cordial and not to be discriminatory, when telling or asking guest not to bring outside food or drink and he should be telling everyone. We felt offended and discriminated when he told us, but didn't tell the other guys in front of us, he just drove by them (this is in hole 1). This may drive customers away. Thank you.

Birthday Tradition

Since my hubby played here the 1st time on his 50th birthday, it became a birthday celebration tradition.... we enjoyed every hole and did not mind the heat at all. Staff came and check on us every hour, giving out ice and reminding us that water are available everywhere in the course. They are all very nice, and excellent customer service from bag drop off to where they give you a nice cold towel after playing the last hole. Well maintained course, this is what golf is all about!!! loving it.

Not for me

The course is not a favorite, houses are too close and cars are parked opposite the houses on some of the courses so they are not the safest way to drive your tee especially if you are not consistent with your swings. There were lots of trees and the greens are not forgiving, so I would say this course is not for me. Other than that, it is a very well kept and trimmed course. Well, I will be playing back on memorial weekend for a friendly tournament.

Friendly folks

First time to play this course as foursome, the pace was a little slow but perfect for us since we are finding our way around the course. The people behind us were obviously been playing there but they were very nice and patient with us. They want us to have fun and enjoy the game. The course was very nice, greens were manicured nicely and the fairway just need a little trimming, balls are pretty hard to find once it goes out of bounds. Overall, we enjoyed a day at Summit with beautiful views and sceneries. We'll be back for sure.

Mud and wet

The course would have been nice but the condition was wet, muddy and cold. that was not a day to play golf. The price was not worth it. We'll try in the summer time.

Celebrate 4th

The course needs help/maintenance - it is the municipal golf course but City of Stockton should invest on it, since the location is nice and perfect for golfing. I like the place, the layout is good. If I win the lotto, I will donate money to get that course fixed.
Anyway, it's alright for the money we paid.

hubby's birthday wish

It was a perfect weekday and my husband asked to play this specific golf course which became a tradition for him. Friends were not able to take him so I reserved the tee time for him and a couple of our family. we had a great time and staff are very nice and assistive. Except for the foursome elderly ladies in front of us that delayed the game about 30 minutes which is forgivable since the afternoon heat is picking up. Overall it was a great game - we shall return!!
Thank you for keeping the course healthy.

Marshalls needed

The weather was a perfect day to play golf, we were off a good start until the golfers start piling up in hole 3. Foursome in front of a twosome were both slow, not sure if there's another slow group in front of them. I'm a slow player but the groups in front of us must be having too much fun...We waited for an average of 5 minutes from hole 3 to 18. We did not see a single Marshall to move the groups along.... our tee time was 12:30 and did not finish until 6:30 --- it was ridiculous. It would have been a great round of golf without the wait.
Hopefully next time would be better.

Very Windy as usual

Beautiful course, I don’t recommend for beginners but challenging for intermediate golfers. I think you have to be a very good, consistent golfer to get low scores playing here. Too windy —- not advisable for those with allergies or asthma. Overall, well maintained, manicured greens and tee boxes and relaxing. I’ll probably play again when I get better.

Not too bad for a Sunday afternoon.

It was a great mother’s day treat for moms mostly playing that afternoon with families and For was one of them. Front nine paced out perfectly not until back nine when two groups of golfers slowed us down. Overall it was a good day.

If I knew

It was not fair that the course has no notification that they have done aeration on the course for that day. The greens were poor and the boundaries of the fairways have tall grasses. We would have enjoyed playing because it was a perfect day, except the greens was not fair to us. I will come back and hope next time we play it will be much nicer.
