Just booked my tickets to visit some relatives in the Visalia/Fresno California area and was wondering if anyone had some recommendations for courses over there. I am not into paying $$$$ like Pebble or Spyglass, but some local good courses.

Thanks in advance.

Near Visalia, try Valley Oaks in Visalia, Ridge Creek in Dinuba, for the Fresno area and north there's more choices.

When is your trip or have you visited already?

As jmorse mentioned, down in Visalia Valley Oaks is pretty good for cheap. And Ridge Creek in Dinuba is a nice course, although I find it a bit pricey for what it is (maybe $10 too much, not a big deal). Come up to the Fresno area and play Eagle Springs (formerly Brighton Crest). Very fun and challenging course in the foothills. Probably the best of the public offerings around here. Riverside is also a good one for ~$35.

We are leaving in a week. Looking forward to some warm weather (warm for us Michiganders). We are planning on playing Valley Oaks (just because it is close), and Ridge Creek. I will have to take a look at Eagle Springs and Riverside.

Thanks for the suggestions.

    • Day 27 - 2026-01-16 Played 18 with some of the usual "too many voices" going on when I'm working on swing stuff. Fun to get out in great bay area winter weather.
    • I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.    
    • No one in the world is as smart as Phil thinks he is.
    • Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations.    Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.
