We played Mesa Linda on Friday June 29th at 8:08 AM. The Ladies Group was playing Los Lagos so we went to the short course. The course was in really good shape and the greens rolled true. This course is tricky, while it is shorter than Los Lagos you will find some of the par 3s are pretty long and the greens are tough to hit with approach shots. Tee boxes were good for the most part with a few beat up and should have been utilized differently. The fairways were full and in good shape. The rough is tough to hit out of sometimes. The grass can grab your club. I was in one bunker that needed some more sand but otherwise the bunkers looked to be in good shape. The speed of the greens were consistent throughout the round.

Heading up again this year to No Cal to play in a college alumni tournament and making a few stops along the way to play a few more courses. First stop was on 5/29 with a good friend in Stockton to play the Reserve at Spanos. Never played here before and what a treat this was. Check in was easy enough with a well-organized, friendly staff. It’s a little pricey it seems but ... » More

Heading up again this year to No Cal to play in a college alumni tournament and making a few stops along the way to play a few more courses. First stop was on 5/29 with a good friend in Stockton to play the Reserve at Spanos. Never played here before and what a treat this was. Check in was easy enough with a well-organized, friendly staff. It’s a little pricey it seems but we paid $45 late rate and as a 2 some, had a 1:40 tee time, joining up with another 2 some. Nice folks from the Bay Area. Got out right on time and finished in just under 4 hours.

The fairways were in great condition and offered nice roll out with the driver. The rough was a couple of inches long and very playable. Tee boxes were great as well. Was only in one bunker and it was fine despite not being raked (no rakes out there). Sand was a little damp but otherwise just fine.

The greens were in excellent condition. A little hard so you had to hit it good to get it to stop. Not real fast but rolled true.

I really enjoyed playing here. Most fairways are pretty generous but there are quite a few fairway bunkers so some strategy is required off the tee. Nice layout and pretty flat with water on some holes. Some nice dog legs guarded by bunkers. Make it a must play if you’re ever up this way. Just wished I lived closer as I would put it in the rotation.

Shocking, I took my wife to play there Thursday and after a week of me and her girl friends telling her how hard the course was..She shot a clean 85 from reds (she is a 19 handicap). Course was in very good shape and play (10 AM start) was right at 4 hours. I had a very low score for me also (shot 80 with a 17 handicap white tees) It had to be the greens at a very controllab... » More

Shocking, I took my wife to play there Thursday and after a week of me and her girl friends telling her how hard the course was..She shot a clean 85 from reds (she is a 19 handicap). Course was in very good shape and play (10 AM start) was right at 4 hours. I had a very low score for me also (shot 80 with a 17 handicap white tees) It had to be the greens at a very controllable speed and very few major breaks. Was funny last time I played there I shot 91? Anyway very enjoyable day, played with two men's club players that knew course and agreed greens very easier then normal....
