Escalon Golf Course

Went for the night golf. Just the driving range. They offer night golf May - September, Friday & Saturday Night. Very fair rate for a bucket of balls. Parking is behind the golfers (very much appreciate that). I called ahead and they said this particular night they were open till 10:30 PM (normally just 10 PM). Their Facebook page gives you heads up if they need to cancel one of the nights. Staff was friendly over the phone and fellow golfers friendly in person. The inflatable targets were fun. Only giving 4 stars cause only about 1/4 of the driving range "bays" are fully illuminated. But for our area to have late night golfing at all is great! Will try their 9 hole during the day and evening soon. Thanks!

This golf coarse is an absolute joke. I should have known when we pulled up on a Saturday, nice weather, and there was nobody golfing. We decided to try it and will never go back or ever recommend. When we got to the first green and saw that my front yard grass was better, I should have turned around and got my money back. Unless they do some major improvements, don't waste your time.

$10 for 9 holes is right on. I wouldn't pay a dime more. This place is very run down. The greens and traps are in horrible shape to say the least. I think the cart was pulled out of the trees. It's pretty bad. However if your learning or want to work on your short game it does the job.

What a pretty wooded golf course in the middle of farmland. This part 31 nine hole course doesn't have a ton of long hole (longest 240) but is lined with gorgeous tall trees portraying narrow runway chutes to the hole. Might've been the time of season but the greens are hit or miss. The course drains well too because I came during the rainy winter. Check out the pics as I show you all the good stuff from the course that has a driving range as well as a putting green. Can't beat $15 Green Fees either ...along with playing a full nine in under an hour!

Greens have a bunch of weed in it. Lost a ball in the fairway. Too many gopher holes on the course. Found a decapitated blue jay next to the green. Sand traps have weed growing in them. Part of the green is yellow or has sand. I can go on. Probably not going back for the course, the range.. maybe.

I love this place! It's my half way point leaving the East Bay and heading to the Gold Country. Great way to break up my drive! Let's be real here though... It is pretty run down, it is 9 holes and two of the holes 2 and 3 need a gap wedge. Some of the greens do not even call for an attempted putt. I'm a has been of a golfer and I absolutely worship this goat ranch! FYI-no beer and no food-so don't go looking for a country club experience...

Do not go here if you actually want to golf. It's terribly maintained and expensive for what you get. Please listens and go somewhere else. Trust me!

Went back after not playing there for quite some time hoping they had made improvements, but unfortunately it was in worse condition then last time. They are also more expensive than other 9 hole courses in the area. I will drive the extra miles to play a course that actually has greens.

I have played many golf course in Northern California and I have never seen a golf course in worst shape then this place. You can tell if your in the fair or in the woods, its all the same, including the putting greens. Bunkers looked like dry out lakes. Don't spend your money, there is better value anywhere.

I went back to this course last weekend with my children's golf academy. Our home course is re-seeding this past week, and this is the closest course to Oakdale, so the field trip was on. Unfortunately, the course has gone further downhill since my initial visit.The driving range nets have been fixed, so that's a plus. No more sea of range balls on the first two fairways. The fairways had also been mowed, so no more losing your ball in the middle of the fairway.But the bunkers have become a lost cause. They have been completely overgrown by crabgrass. The gopher holes that used to be limited to the fairways are now starting to invade the fringe area around the green. There is a large swath of the seventh and eighth fairway that is completely dead.But the biggest problem is the greens. The last time I played the course, there were three or four frisbee sized bald spots on each green, but the rest of the green was fine. Things are much worse now. The bald spots remain, but the greens are now composed of a mixture of grasses, with weeds liberally sprinkled throughout. I doubt the greens have been rolled in the last year. The kids' golf balls looked like off road vehicles bouncing up and down as they rolled on these greens. More than once, their instructor said "Don't worry. That would have been a good putt on a real green."The course was rough, but very much playable when I posted my initial review. I didn't mind gopher holes in the fairway, and if you had to putt over a bald spot on the green, you could move your ball a few inches to one side or the other. But the greens have become so bad that it's not worth playing on them. The ball won't roll true, and you'll have to hit the ball much faster than you would on a normal green, so playing on those greens consistently will mess up your putting game. There were a number of empty beer cans littering the course, and I'm afraid that's what this course has become. It's sad. This course has a lot of potential, but I don't think the ownership can afford to even maintain the greens. It is in its death spiral now, and things will only get worse as more and more regulars refuse to pay $16 green fees ($20 on weekends) for a course in this shape. I doubt it will still be with us in a year.
