A truly fun course

One of my favorite courses , about one hour from my home and worth the trip. Each hole is lined with trees and beautiful as well as fun.
The driving range and putting green are excellent and the pro shop well stocked with great service from the attentive staff.
Pace of play is adequate, our twosome played in under 4 hours with no undue delays.
If I had a negative it would be the food was a bit sub par but otherwise a perfect day ( except for my score).

I will definitely be back.

AN OLD FAVORITE

Van Buskirk, a poor abused old lady, is my favorite track here in Stockton. With money woes the city has allowed the course to deteriorate, as it has the other 18 hole layout, Swenson Park.
Despite the seediness it remains a favorite of mine, the front nine is the easier of the two but challenging, the back a real test.
The real delight here is the fact that you can walk on pretty much any time, week days and weekends. I can play eighteen holes in under three hours almost all the time.
Give it a try you wont be sorry.

Mixed bag

I very much like the course layout
Greens are fast and there are no straight putts ever.
Course conditions are not at all up to par and pace of play maddeningly slow. Fivesomes are far too common as well slowing play even more.
A shame really.

A near miss

The friendliness of both staff and fellow golfers must be noted, as are the very good greens also in need of mention.
Otherwise this is a wind infested track , bare of fairway grass, little to no sand in the bunkers, old and tired mats on a driving range with few holes presenting drama or challenge other than that provided by the blasts of the ever present wind.

The hot dogs at hole ten refreshment shack were very good.

An old favorite

It had been over a decade since I last played this course, moving, retirement etc. all interfered with that.
I was reminded of the course while a playing partner and I tried to find a new challenge
Despite the course having been actually under water very recently it was rough but playable, the greens being fine, the fairways mostly so but rough in spots. I expect that, in a short time, it will all be fine again.
The two nines are markedly different, the front being tougher and narrow, the back ,wending through a deer filled canyon, lush and very pretty. I loved this course long ago and now have renewed that with my recent play here.
Last thing, do not fail to order the Tomato Basil soup in the restaurant, it is simply ambrosia! The ample menu is am=n added touch and what we ate was delicious.

I was impressed

My first time here, usually play Shadow Lakes across the street, now unfortunately closed.
The two nines are distinctly different, and, while I enjoyed the front nine I was very impressed with the dramatic back nine, though it was less impressed with me, as I shot 7 strokes higher there.
Despite the greens having been recently aerated they played well if a bit slow. The fairways were a bit rough in spots, but our severe winter and incessant rains contributed to that and, overall, the course is in fine shape .
I would unhesitatingly recommend this course to both seniors , its length is quite manageable from the forward tees, and to better players as well, especially that dramatic back nine.

A darn shame

I played this course when it first opened, quite some time ago and was impressed. After playing it yesterday (12/30) I was quite sad to see how poor shape it is in.

Make no mistake, this is not winter condition, it is pure and inexcusable neglect. Sand traps have grass in them, some have piles of sand obviously there for a long time, dandelions abound, the fairways and greens are mowed granted and the rough is just abandoned seeming, more vacant lot than golf course.

It is a real shame because the layout is very nice and approach shots can be spectacular and very challenging.

My playing partner and I speculated that it seemed like a course bankrupt and soon to close.
