Micke Grove Golf Course
4 reviews for Micke Grove Golf Course
Last week I traveled to Lodi for Father's Day weekend. BTW, my parents live in Lodi and belong to Woodbridge Country Club. Unfortunately, the club was having its annual men's tournament so we couldn't play there. So I decided to make a tee time at Micke Grove Golf Course. Before my parents joined Woodbridge we always used to play at Micke Grove and it's also the one course I always seem to break 80 at. It's a wide open course that allows you to hit driver off just about every tee and it's totally flat.
The good news is I shot 79 and hit 10 green in regulation. The bad news is that it took us 5.5 hours to play 18 holes.
The day got off to a slow start when the starter told us there were no carts available. So instead of teeing off at 1:15 we teed off at 1:45. I'm not sure what the deal was, but while on the course I noticed at least 5 groups with 3 carts. They need to be more vigilant about that, or go and wrangle the carts in once they start getting low.
I birdied the first hole and we played without waiting for the first six holes. Then came the back-up... For the rest of the day we would pull up to the next tee and the group in front of us would either be hitting or just leaving. Talk about slow conditions.
Now obviously it is slow because people suck and have no awareness of the fact they are slow. But, this slowness is really caused by the management. First of all if you're out of carts that would imply that there are too many golfers on the course or you don't have enough carts. Obviously the cause of our 5.5 hour round was the fact that they send too many groups off during the day.
So if anyone from the course is listening... send out fewer golfers per hour and take some steps to eliminate the 5.5 hour round.
The pace of play can get a bit slow at times and I don't think I have gotten a cart that had a full battery but maybe once. With that said I love this course. It is a beautiful course I think (Par 3 16th over water signature hole). I have played some great golf and will always come back. It seems to be one of the better kept courses in the area. Just stick to mid-day on a weekday and theres never really any problems.

The prices are cheap and A good course to play! My friends and I played here a while back to play 18 holes one afternoon. The were busy, but the wait time at each tee wasn't very long. We only got through 17 because it was getting late and it was HOT!
The fairways were descent as were the greens.
Guys who run the tee sheet are a bunch of idiots. "Okay, lets send out groups of 1 and 2 all day long. Why not put golfers in groups of 4 instead? That way, it won't take 10 billion hours to finish!!! Professionalism there sucks! No respect for the paying customer and they think they know it all.
