Day 71 of 365 Things to do in Stockton: Spanos Reserve Driving Range

Posted in 365 Things to do in Stockton, Ca on June 8th, 2010 by keebler – View Comments

It’s time to dust off those golf clubs and fresh-in up the golf swing. Head out to the driving range at Spanos Reserve Golf Course. The driving range offers plenty of grassy spots for you to tee it up. There are spots both at the North and South side of the range, but don’t worry they are far enough apart so you wont be hitting each other.

The range is lit so you can come and practice after the sun has set.  Cards are purchased in various increments.  The minimum is for 75 balls which is $6.00.  More balls can be purchased on your card. Head out with a friend and share a large bucket.

At the driving range you hit of real grass and it is really wide to accommodate my hooks and slices. Also at the range are two FREE practice greens which are graded and hilly to challenge the best golfers. One of the green has a sand trap and a chipping area so you can practice the short game.

In honor of the Master’s Golf tournament in Augusta, GA over the weekend, I thought I would feature a local golf course in the hope to get you motivated to get out and hit the little white ball around.

Swenson Park golf has been one of Stockton’s most enjoyable golf courses since in opened in 1952!  Swenson Park Golf course has two great courses; the first is an 18 hole 72 par course that plays over 6700 yars.  The second is a great course for all beginners and those wanting to practice your short game.  It is a 9 hole par 3 course.  As a whole, Swenson has been voted one the best local courses of the past 10 years.

By the way, does anyone know what the course record is for Swenson? Please comment.
