4 reviews for Stevinson Ranch Golf Club
Just a nice course. That's it. Nothing really makes it a fantastic experience nor a bad one either. A friend of mine was raving about the place calling it the best course in NorCal. I think said friend may be hitting the bottle a wee too much, if you know what I mean.
7100 yards and a 142 slope from the back tees makes it long and difficult. There are a lot of bunkers, hazards to carry, and a few small water features. It's one of those courses that isn't that difficult if you stay in the fairway. However, the moment you hit into a rough or hazard, scores begin to skyrocket. It's definitely easy to completely lose it on a single hole ala Greg Norman or that French Bozo from the British Open years ago.
The day we were out here the greens were in downright horrible shape. They told us they had been sanded and punched over 3 weeks ago. Impossible. They looked like they had been sanded within the last 3 days.
The other thing that got me was the smell. Even while we were still miles out, we started sensing this growing overpowering smell of animal feces. Unfortunately, it wasn't cow or horse manure. It was something much, much worse. It never went away for all 18 holes, although by the Back 9 your nostrils are burned out enough that it stops being a problem.
They do have a driving range where the range balls are included with the greens fee.
The restaurant and bar have decent food and drinks, but it is still your typical muni/public golf course meal selection. Burgers and sandwiches. A couple friends stayed in the bungalows on-site and said they were nice but far too expensive. I haven't seen them myself.
This course is a solid two-hour drive for those living in the SF or San Jose areas. I would recommend someplace closer unless you are in the CA central valley anyway. Then this place is a definite "yes." I'd like to give this course a second try, but I can't see myself doing it for full price + a two-hour drive.
Gorgeous golf course, but pretty difficult as well. It's a bit out of the way, but well worth the visit.
They offer great summer programs for junior golfers and also some awesome tournaments for the locals. They also have unlimited range balls (included in the green fees), so you can practice to your heart's content.
$65 Mon-Fri (includes cart and range balls)
$85 Sat-Sun (includes cart and range balls)
Restaurant and lodging on-site.
This is the greatest golf course that i have played in NorCal, well the 5th, behind Pebble Beach, Links at Spanish Bay, Poppy Hills, Cypress Point, but this course is pretty much a hard course, I mean you have like alot of tight fairways and the lodges are just gorgeous. I would recommend this course to anyone in CA.
I had won a foursome including lodging at Stevinson Ranch. We had a great time. The staff, the organization was wonderful. The lodging is basic but fine and clean.
The course is great, challenging and in wonderful condition. The other golfers are skilled so the course plays at a nice pace. No weekend muni challenges with pace of play. This is a nice break from the City environment.
