Pheasant Run Golf Club, Chowchilla, CA

I play this course several times a year. Course is best played in spring and fall. Summer gets hot because of few shade trees, and grounds keepers are always putting water on the course. I've had to chase/run from the sprinklers several times and the ball will get plugged in the fairway sometimes. Hard to gauge the greens in summer. Some greens will be wet others will be dry. Bar serves food but gets busy and service is not great. A nice course otherwise. Not too hard. favors the straight hitter with some long drive oppertunities. Driving range and practice greens are really nice. Chipping area not so much.

Just played this course for the first time last weekend. I plan to come back. Very well maintained and the staff is friendly and helpful. Plenty of trouble with water so be careful with your driver! Good value for $35 midweek (senior rate) includes cart. Snack bar in clubhouse closed at 2:00 pm on a Saturday (??) Bar and grill next to clubhouse seemed a little too upscale for a place to walk into with spikes. Still, a good time at a good price.
