If I could give this place 0 stars, I would. Their customer service is trash. I have called a numerous amount of times and they don't answer the phone. I even tried to call the General Manager Eric and the machine said he was busy. I don't know what is going on over there but clearly they do not care to answer the phone and speak to customers. read more

Used to LOVE this course, but holy hell, the way they manage pace of play has gotten absolutely ridiculous. Played 8/16 around 5 PM and it was a complete shitshow. They apparently do NOTHING to keep pace of play moving. The biggest issue was allowing a GROUP OF SIX to play together while holding everybody up. And yes, the group of six were all women. Each one of them was hitting 2-3 balls off the tee, then they'd go looking for all those balls, lose them, take a drop, and hit ANOTHER 2-3 balls from there. This wasn't just one bad hole either--we watched this happen HOLE AFTER HOLE. Six people doing that every hole adds up REAL quick. At that point you're not playing a round of golf, you're using the course as your personal driving range. We were literally waiting 5-10 MINUTES at the tee box on EVERY SINGLE HOLE. Not one bad hole. Not one random backup. EVERY. HOLE. If you're going to hit that many balls, STICK TO THE RANGE. There are actual people who paid to play the course and want to enjoy their round, not spend half their day sitting around watching six people have a practice session. The pace got so bad that I ended up pairing up with some randoms who were in front of me because everyone was getting backed up. Eventually, we passed the group of six and played ahead of them. Here's the part that really shows how ridiculous it was: after passing them, we FINISHED TWO FULL HOLES and they were STILL PLAYING THE SAME HOLE WE PASSED THEM ON. A group of random people who literally paired up because of the backup managed to finish two holes before this group of six could finish ONE. That's not normal slow play. That's absurd. I even saw a course worker and specifically mentioned the pace of play and the group holding everybody up. His response was basically, "Yeah bud, sorry, not much I can do," and he just kept driving off. LMAO. Not much you can do?? You're literally working at the golf course. Who exactly IS supposed to do something? Then later on I see the same worker stopped at a hole chit-chatting with that same group of girls like they're all buddy-buddy. Whether they actually knew each other or not, that's a TERRIBLE look after a paying customer just complained about that exact group's pace of play. And before somebody twists this, them being women isn't the problem. The problem is SIX people playing together, each hitting multiple balls, losing them, taking drops, hitting multiple balls AGAIN, and having zero consideration for everybody stacked up behind them while the course does absolutely nothing about it. If you're more concerned with hitting a whole bucket of balls, making TikToks, and looking cute for the golf trend on social media or whatever they had going on than maintaining pace, GO TO THE RANGE. Then after dealing with all of that for basically the entire round, my cart DIED on the THIRD-TO-LAST HOLE. That was literally the cherry on top. After spending the entire round waiting around, I wasn't about to deal with a dead cart too. I said fuck it, packed my shit up and called it a day. And somehow I wasn't even the only one. I saw at least THREE other groups whose carts died too. When multiple carts are dying during the same round, that's not bad luck--that's terrible maintenance. So in one round we had 5-10 minute waits at EVERY tee box, a sixsome holding up the course, each person hitting 2-3 balls off the tee and then another 2-3 after taking drops, zero pace-of-play enforcement, a worker basically saying "not much I can do," multiple dead carts, and then my own cart dying with THREE HOLES LEFT. If you're going to charge people to play, MANAGE YOUR DAMN COURSE. Enforce reasonable group sizes, have somebody actually manage pace of play, and make sure your carts can survive 18 holes. Used to genuinely enjoy playing here, but this was ridiculous. The cart dying on the third-to-last hole was just the final "yeah, fuck this" moment. Packed it up and went home. read more

What a drag...this used to be such fun little course to come and play or practice or get a sandwich. Not anymore. It's gone sooo downhill. They got this ancient ball machine(smh) that makes you go inside & pay for the most expensive practice balls in valley. Then you get hit off dirt & sand, or the trac man that NEVER works right. How sad this place is now. read more

Micke Grove Golf Links - Why dont you spend some of $ you're talking from everyone and improve the facilities - Golf Near Me - Lodi, California

Good course staff great nice range for practice , putting green in good shape. They keep the fairways cut, a lot of wildlife.

Great course. Well taken care of. A little expensive but it's a forgiving course with nice staff. I've enjoyed my time golfing here and plan to come back often. Deserves to be much higher than 2.9 stars. read more

Played here for a junior tournament. Not a bad course. Decent condition, front nine was hard for me to stay under 40 idk why.

Love the course, I live near by so my husband and I come often. staff is friendly. And drinks and food menu are are great and affordable

This review is for the driving range only. I've recently gotten back into golf after like 10 years and have been to this driving range a few times in the past few months. Its a bit disappointing. I've swung by (no pun intended) after work and am disappointed that the pro shop doesn't stay open later. I usually have what I need but I went with someone who needed to rent clubs so we had to cut our date short because he had to return the clubs. The part of the driving range with the tracking machines is nicer but still could use a little TLC. The other part of the range could really use some TLC. They move the line up and back where you t off and but it seems they wait too long to do it because it was really tore up. I've been to a handful of driving ranges in Sacramento and they are all much nicer than this place. I guess I got spoiled. But it gets the job done I guess. read more

Good course but everytime I come out they allow groups of 5 and 6 which slows down play. 5 1/2 6 hour rounds is a norm. They don't care either, no Marshall. read more

Great spot to be with friends. I just ordered a cart and drove around. Held our Annual Timothy Ramirez golf memorial read more

great course great shape. my son had a tournament here so we got a tee time for a practice round the day before. the staff was nice and all and it was good. read more

So I've rarely paid more than $50 for a round of golf (w/cart). You can usually play 18 for under that. But I have noticed that rates are up at all courses so don't hold me to this. Overall, this course is very playable and worth what you pay. In comparison to high dollar courses, yes, there's much that could be prepped better or upgraded. But don't take to mean it's in bad shape...because it is not. It is a little confusing when transitioning from hole to hole in places. This is where the score card map becomes helpful. But overall. I don't feel this is a bad course. read more

Micke Grove Golf Links - 18th green. - Golf Near Me - Lodi, California

You need a Marshall to help with pace of play? Need better help in front office on busy time of the day. Only hit to play 7 holes due to 8 people playing in the hole in front of my group. read more

Traveling through Lodi we decided to spend the day and golf. Micke Grove is right off the 99 fwy. Easy access. Really pretty 18 hole course. We played 9 holes and had so much fun. Beautiful course with nice ponds and geese flying over. Surrounded by grape vineyards and fruit trees. Very friendly and helpful staff. We even got lucky and hit a 50% off sale in the store and bought a couple of shirts. Great golf, beautiful environment, nice carts. Made our travel stop awesome. read more

What a joke! Started 8:30, 15 minutes late and it just got worse. Had to wait 5-10 minutes every hole. 6 hr round! Saw multiple 5 and 6 man groups and double groups on multiple holes. Went in to complain after 9 holes and told they have no Marshall's. Only good thing was the inside bartender and saw the cart girl multiple time that kept us from leaving Will not be back read more

Beautiful golf course. New golfer here and we always try a new course. So far, this is my favorite. Loved the full bar, the smell, and taste from the brick oven pizza. The only complaint is the selection of womens golf attire in their shop. Just a couple shirts, and a large variety for men. read more

This is my go-to public course! Everything is well kept. I've played private courses that weren't as nice. I accidentally left my Bluetooth cart speaker on the cart and came back an hour later (not hopeful but had to try). It could have easily been stolen but it was turned in by staff and I have it back! This place has Country Club vibes without the cost and pretentiousness!! One of the grounds keepers saw us hunting a lost ball (by my rookie buddy/I would never lose a ball... never ever) in some rough, found it, and delivered to him 2 holes later!! read more

$20 per person to get a cart. Don't book online if you have a junior player, they're significantly cheaper and they will not fix your price point after you've paid. Terrible pace of play, stood at each tee for a good 15-20 minutes each - no Marshall anywhere.... Rude in the golf shop. All this for a mini that charges almost $70 a round? Go somewhere else. read more

Used to love playing here but since they brought in new management (believe his name is Eric) this course has gone down hill... The course is still in great shape but expect a 5 hour and 52 minute round of golf teeing off at 815 on a Sunday morning.. There were groups of 6, 7, 8 and 12 all throughout the course in front of us. It's pretty clear that the new management only cares about one thing and that's making a profit which means stacking tee times on one another. It's sad to see because this is such a fun course to play. The new management is also talking about getting rid of the cart girl too... supposedly there's no need for it.. but what the heck are we supposed to do with no cart girl on a 6 hour round?!? Really really disappointed with the new management here. Smh. read more

$18 for a bucket of balls is a rip off just to practice. Just practice else where. They used to be way cheaper.

I Gabe Dry Creek 5 stars and can say that this place was better and I appreciate everything. The range was really good and when I was having trouble with the trackman, a man helped me. Had a great time read more

Great place. Great pace for being crazy busy. Bj and I shot 69 Great service, cart girl was out and about and had everything you need. Check in was easy, bar area had great service as well. 10/10 read more

The course is better than in recent years! But, my experience is just not about golf but the total experience of the facility. The restroom on the back nine was one of the most disgusting I've ever seen. It looked like it belonged in a third world country, it was horrible. Seriously, filthy, unsanitary and shouldn't be used. Management and facilities people should be embarrassed. Never have I seen such a mess!!!! Shame on who ever is responsible, should be fired !!! read more

First, I played at this course, was very challenging, but well worth the playing in the rain and good game. Good times. read more

This place truly stinks. PLEASE DONT PLAY HERE. THEY DONT DESERVE YOUR MONEY! I've been twice since this review and BOTH times had separate, ridiculous experiences! 1. I went with a couple of friends and we were told while it was beyond far from sunset, I think it was like 6pm in the summer, we have to leave because of "they're paving the parking lot". Okay I guess, but you can't schedule this a little more according? I mean you have one product "golf experience" and you can't even focus on that? Maybe push the paving company to work later to priories your clientele? I mean it's one this you have to worry about, again, "golf experience". We were on the 13th hole and this lady comes driving up to tell us this. She was nice I guess. But if you're paving a parking lot (multiple hours of work) what's the difference between paving at 6pm (with lots of daylight left) and 8pm (dark/sunset) where you allow your golfers to actually get what they paid for (separate issue, it's the most expense public course in the area). My guess is you need someone on premise to close the gates and make sure everything is locked up, so they scheduled them early/wanted to leave early. This isn't my problem, I get on a human level you want to leave early and get home but again, you're providing an experience, maintain that. Or they just don't care about the golfer, which is the worst scenario. 2. I played a few weeks ago thinking "okay I always have a bad time at this place due to staff, can't happen again right?" Nope. Was we left the 18th tee, we're driving to our cars and the two cart attends, younger thinner gentlemen, one with dark hair, one with lighter brown hair, tell us to LEAVE OUR CART BY THE CART AREA! This is separate from the parking lot and we were parked out by the front of the property which is like a 2min walk if that, it's like a 200 stale parking lot, a normal supermarket type size of parking lot. And we were floored like what?! I've never been to a place, public or private where they tell you to leave your carts and take your bags to your car??? It wasn't even dark by the way, very light outside. So, one of my friends, I think reasonably so, makes a comment like no dude what? And they immediately get aggressive with the darker haired gentlemen CUSSING at us! He dropped and F-bomb and walked towards our cart and I was like "wow bro language, act a little professional" and he sort of calmed down. But THIS IS WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU COME HERE! Ridiculous ridiculous behavior. I implore anyone, please don't come here, they don't deserve the business. They're making great strides in providing nice facilities, the driving range is nice, the outside is nice, but they have a systemic problem and they've recently changed ownership I believe, and it just has a corporate/money hungry vibe that does not prioritize an experience. They want your to pay $60 on average regardless of time, will only give 1 cart for a double which I think is ridiculous, we want to play fast and two carts even if it's two people helps the round go faster but they only want to put as many people on the course as possible! THATS ANOTHER ISSUE IS IS SLOW AS ****!!! YOU WILL NOT FINISH A ROUND IN 4 HOURS! Which is wild and it's because they won't let (or buy more carts) to allow faster play. If it's just two people, it's one cart and I'm paying $60 for an okay conditioned public course. But as I said previously, they have a systemic problem which I think is coming from the top. I think they have a gross person at running the show and it trickles down to all staff members. It's the only way to rationalize how bad every single employee seems to act or feel entitled to act. DO NOT COME HERE! Go to elkhorn or Spanos or Bartley or haggin or dry creek or Manteca GC if you want public golf. read more

Love golf here! I go every Friday with my in-laws! I was going when they were in the transition of being bought out and WHAT A CHANGE! New management have change everything but in a excellent way! It's a lot more green! They update the driving range! Added trackmans! It's a huge change! It's a great course! Highly recommend! read more

This course has come a long long way in the last few years. I am glad to see Sierra Golf is finally putting money into the course. I do have a few issues that should be addressed. Please please please put in mats on the driving range for people to use on the weekdays. The range gets way to much use day in an day out to keep it nice. It is basically a giant sand trap with one light grass on top. Second, stop sending school kids out that have no idea how to golf, how to keep pace, or have zero supervision. They are constantly jumping holes and taking 30+ minutes to play a hole. read more

This run will test your game . Very well taken care of. Great beer and good food . Tap beer ! 100% all the way around!

This course is awesome the new ownership has truly put money into the course and made it an extremely fun course to play. One really cool thing is their driving range has a tracker in the ball where you can see your distances for your clubs. Thank you Micke's Grove Golf Links. I will definitely return back here again! read more

Course was in good conditions. Range grass is hacky and balls were expensive for the quality and amount. But pace was amazing out there for a Saturday 10:32 tee time. read more

Wow, course conditions are better than average for municipal course. Tee time are 8 minutes apart and it took 3.5 hours for 9 holes. They put anybody out there walking or riding and the marshall is useless. Smokes cigars and will not move players along. Restaurant is great. Pro shop has older hispanic guy with "no clue" about customer service. Range is cool, carts run fine but who has 7 hours for 18 holes? read more

This is one off the best golf courses I played in this area for a pubic course this is a amazing course and fairways and greens are in excellent condition I played here 3 times this year and looking forward to coming back more often Very nice course and the try-tip sandwich and fires are the best too read more

I come here a lot because I love the course the 1 star is for the food every time I try to order something they seem to never have any food items or the pizza oven isn't turned on management needs to do something about this I understand once in a while but every time not acceptable!!!! read more

We booked a tee time for Sunday (10/4) for 4 golfers (2 couples). Walked in to pay and caught us by surprise that we have to pay separately for our carts ($18 per person not per cart, and each couple rode in one cart) on top of green fees of $36 per golfer. These fees were not disclosed when we booked the tee time with a live person over the phone. We never had to pay separately for carts. We played golf here for years! Not to mention that we were charged 3% for using our debit cards for payment. COVID times and they prefer cash? They may not care because social distancing was not being observed. Masks inside the pro shop was not worn by everyone both workers and guests sitting on tables inside the shop not eating but just hanging around without masks. Have they forgotten that San Joaquin county had high incidence of COVID infections? Come to find out that the golf course is under new management- Sierra Golf Management and therefore new fees, charges. Might not be so bad if it was disclosed in some form such as email (which I am on their email list since I receive newsletters and a letter from the previous manager who retired) or over the phone when one books a tee time. Premier fees for a so not premier golf course. At least other golf courses are up front and transparent with their fees. Losing us as customers and friends who were customers. read more

Booked online. Cost me $2.00 Paid with credit card. Cost me 2.16 Purple tier COVID but a second cart was $36. Can't maintain a 6' distance in a single cart!!!!!! Guys working the desk were flippant, rude, and unfriendly. 5 hours of slow golf. Never going back. Horrible experience. read more

I've been coming here a few years now and the current state of this course has greatly exceeded my expectations. Course is in good shape and the customer service has been amazing as well. Beer is also cold! Highly recommend this course for both beginners and seasoned players alike. read more

I been playing this course for years ,this new management has put together a team that is doing a fantastic Job. This course is in GREAT SHAPE it has never been in this good EVER !!!!! They have put A-LOT work in getting this course up in shape and that hard work has paid off . Right now we Have the BEST Course in the valley I'm telling you!!! Thanks to the Management for All your doing . read more

I love this place! The golf, food and drinks are all amazing with such a friendly staff! The only unfortunate thing is that it looks like they cut their staff back on weekend nights when they stay open late the wait time for things are a little long, and tough on the customer and staff! Would be helpful if they had a few more people to help with the crowds at night. read more

First time I played here. Course was in great shape compared to the dozen or so courses I regularly play. The fairways were well cut, rough was reasonable, greens well manicured and relatively fast, bunker sand was groomed. $29 fee special included cart. Putting green and driving range were good although I only warmed up on the putting green. Bathrooms on course were clean. Variety of seating choices to enjoy beverages and food. Beer was cold! Course was a little tougher than I expected but overall I enjoyed playing this course. Would play it again. read more

Went to Micke Grove yesterday for a nice midweek 18. When I made my tee time the day before, I asked how the course was playing. Was told great and $30 for 18 with cart. I get there and see that the greens had, just within the last few days, been punched and sanded. I questioned the tee time guy about how this can be considered playing great and why don't they advise people about the greens. All I got was a blank look. Then I asked about the $30 for a golf course with unplayable greens. Lowered the price to $20. Well, they got my $20 yesterday, but they will never get anymore of my money. Very underhanded and a very bad business practice. Play at your own risk. read more
