San Juan Oaks Golf Club

Super course. As a 10 handicap I was humbled by the length and difficulty. Even long drives in the middle of Fairways were sidehill, uphill, or downhill lies. This is not a criticism. Just challenging. Green said were a bit bumpy but looked as if they had been punched recently. Overall great time.

great course, pace was good. started at 1 and finished at 5. wife likes the advantage for womens tee boxes. fairways are in good shape. this time the greens were bumpy and a little slow. I will go back again

This course is excellent and the staff encountered extremely good. Practice facilities excellent. Starting from the 10th not ideal as the walk to the 1st was quite long across the car park and past the pro-shop.

However, encountering the worst issue of rudeness by a single player (female and not caucasian) we have ever experienced was a real downer on the day.. She continually drove into us, mouthed off at my wife and then drove her cart past us and then slowed us up as she got blocked by the 4 ball ahead of her (players that were ahead of us initially)
Etiquette of golf seems not to be taught today....calmness patience, have been overtaken by rudeness and impatience. Golf is not a sprint but it is not a marathon either. Poor marshalling of this problem.

Otherwise this is a superb venue.

Don’t let the remote location or small town feel fool you, this course is every bit as good as those which cost two or three times as much to play. The setting is peaceful and each hole has its own unique design. The front nine is a nice warmup for the much more difficult back nine. Greens and fairways are always meticulously maintained, with consistent speed throughout all 18-holes. I’ve been playing here for years and I have always enjoyed it; even when I was a beginner and shot well into the 100’s. Haha

Played this course for the second time. It’s an awesome place to play. Starting with the all grass driving range and plenty of room on the practice greens.

The course layout is a ton of fun. Several decisions to make from laying up in front of fairway bunkers and short doglegs, water that can deter aggressive play, and well placed green side bunkers and pins. Plenty of risk involved if you want to try to approach par 5s in 2. The greens are great and have some challenging slopes, forcing you to find the correct level. A course that is difficult to bully. Wind definitely picks up in the afternoon, but is not much of a factor during winter.

Plenty of bathrooms throughout the course and a beverage cart.

Overall a very fun course with a challenging layout (and a unique back nine) that is fairly walkable and very well maintained.

Tee box and fairway is in great condition. Very challenging course. The only issue are the greens. Was probably air raided a few weeks ago so it makes the green bumby.. overall it was a nice 8 mile walk.

Course conditions were good but not excellent, pace of play was terribly slow spent over 5 hours out there. And the carts automatic braking was quite aggressive. Be sure to be going 2 miles a hour when approaching a bridge or the carts breaks will slam on. Needless to say glad to have played it.

SJO is a real gem. The staff is always very hospitable and professional. The practice facility is top notch. Excellent range balls.
Thank you to all the San Juan Oaks team. Your the best

It was the perfect course to play on our journey from Sacramento to Monterey. Has a little bit of everything.

One of my favorite courses but current condition was poor. Greens were bumpy due to annual sanding and punching. ... I get that, but fairways were also in sad shape with many dead areas and spotty turf. Hope this condition improves because it's one of the best course layouts in the valley .Otherwise not worth the drive from bay area.

Surprised with Covid they charge $25 per person for a cart no matter if a married couple us riding together. Add another $50 to your round

Course was just punched so the greens were sandy today but playable. Appears they are having problems with wild pigs right now as large chunks are tore up pretty badly. Although it is coming to the end of season, there are vast areas of brown dry fairway and then on the same fairway an overwatered swampy mess. Pace of play today was just over 5 hours and we waited at every hole. The lady at the snack shack at the turn was very friendly and that was a huge plus! Plenty of rounds by the cart girls as well. Nice scenery overall - saw some turkeys, a hawk, cows and about 20 beautiful longhorn steer. The top 4 holes are truly challenging.

A layout with variety and fun for all levels of golfers. Unfortunately, the bunkers are hard dirt, and the maintenance is poor, at best. Too bad, because the design and layout offer a wonderful day of golf.
