Golf course is in good shape friendly staff, veterans discount, worth the trip from Fresno, the restaurant was packed so I am assuming it's got good food, I hope to be able to try it next trip read more

Great staff accommodated changes in Tee Times with helpful attitude. Good challenging greens.

Played there today. Will never play there again. The Marshall told us a group of 4 to play faster because the group of 4 were catching up. They were also not scratch play golfers. At the end of the 18 holes they never ended up passing us they actually slowed their play down. I have an idea how about space out the tee times and not start the other group about 5 or 6 minutes after we start. Also maybe if you are having to start that quick maybe not over book your course. read more

Tulare G.C. is just overpriced and is not in near as good of shape as it was a year ago. Carnival atmosphere at the range and mysterious non-used horseshoe pits in the way of everything. Some water but mostly in places it doesn't belong. Driveway in front of pro shop is like a cement manger at a dairy. Lastly, someone threw down little chips of bark all around the greens.?? Valley Oak is a much better natural track but they have gotten pretty lazy with maintenance. VO is around 12 dollars cheaper for a midweek golf round but they will pound you with their ridiculous drink prices . Unfortunately Visalia and Tulare are not excellent options for golf! Thanks, Monte Mc read more

It's a nice course. Great for beginners to mid-level. The greens have been improved to the point where they're really nice to play on. The fairways are being improved as well. The redesigned clubhouse and restaurant are fantastic. Oh, and the staff are great. It's always a fun day to play at TGC read more

Haven't been here in over a year but nothing else open today that worked. They've really improved. Everyone is super nice now! Haley and Rebecca are darlings at check in. Bartender was fun and playful. Back 9 bartender super sweet. Made delicious bloody Mary. Greens look good! The outdoor patio is beautiful and feels cool as we drive by do they have ac out there? Great little hangout for the young adults. Really happy about how nice everyone is now Maybe course bathroom improvement is next read more

T times were scheduled 5 minutes apart. 4 people in front 4 people behind. Group behind played up on us quick so we played tight to the group in front (knew them/friends. Marshals hassled us and the group in front of us for playing as what they called a 6 group. Mind you we had to wait for the group in front of us and then that group in front of them. We also saw a group of 8, 6 and two of 5. We were still hassled by the marshals 3 times, then asked to "split into 2 groups of 3". How? The carts hold 2 people. So we played back off the group in front of us, and of course now the group behind us had to now actually wait longer. Even as a group of 2 we still had to wait on groups in front of our friends and them. The marshal said the group behind complained we were too slow. This was after we were hit up on 3 times. Two of those times we were within 5' to 8', my wife almost hit twice. The marshal rather than say something to those hitting up on us they said "we needed to pick up the pace for our own safety". Remember, there were multiple groups in front of us we had to wait on and we were close to the course pace for 18 holes in 4 hours. The problem is if your not above average and the course set T times at 5 minutes apart create jams/slow downs. This was a great time with our friends and my wife but this is the 3rd time in 3 years. Same BS at this course every time. 98° out, No outside food or drink allowed, not one time did a beverage cart pass us. How can you go to the bar or clubhouse when constantly harassed about picking up the pace? Lastly, one Marshall stated the group in front said we hit up on them? It was our friends, they didn't complain and we never hit up on them. Too bad, nice course, poorly managed. We and our other 4 friends will NEVER go back. Poor long term business model. To our friends and my wife? They made it a great father's day golf game! You all rock. We will gladly spend our money elsewhere from now on. Lesson learned. read more

The course has went through quite a few improvements since I last played it. New ownership and GM Brett Miller have made quite a few improvements and more in progress and in the future. Just driving up to the course, I could see the trees raised and able to see much of the course from Laspina, the on going improvements to the landscape and clubhouse were impressive. Walking into the pro shop for the first time in 10 years was like step into a modern pro shop with all the amenities and plenty of logged clothing to choose from, the pro shop host was quick to bring up our tee time and let us know we had a time to hit a few balls on the range. The driving range had gone through some great improvements, wide tee area, no trees shading out the turf on the tee or practice putting green, and lighting for those who wish to hit some shots at night. Tees on#1 and 10 have been enlarged as well as optional tee setting on # 10, throughout the course the trees have been raised or eliminated, some sand bunkers have been eliminated, to speed play and some were just out dated and played unfairly. Great course in which you get to play just about every club in your bag, challenging, yet playable and enjoyable at all levels. Glad to see the new owners taking the initiative to continue to take out and modernize the elevated greens on the front 9, much needed to blend into the back 9 design and more player friendly. Hats off to the course superintendent for the greens, fast and consistent, even after a couple of hail storms and rain that morning. We played in 3 hours, which is extremely rare these days, play went fast, groups were well timed and sure to improved course conditions, kept pace and everyone enjoyed the round, even with the colder weather. Definitely look forward to coming back and continuing to seeing more improvements and playability. Keep up the great work! Cheers and God bless! read more

Had a great time at this place. The staff there is probably the friendliest I've ever encountered at a golf course. Check in was easy. The carts are brand new and peppy. The facilities are clean and the food at the restaurant was top notch. I got the chicken Philly sandwich and a Modelo and that hit the spot. The grounds are a pleasant surprise. The course has varying types of holes that pose different challenges. My favorites were where you had to hit over or near the water. The sand dunes were nicely kept. The only negative thing I would say is that the grass was a little dry at a few places but it didn't take away from the experience. Can't wait to go back. read more

Friendly staff, fairly well-kept course. One of the few decent public courses in Central Valley.

Well bartender was good and breakfast was good. If you plan to golf you better be a pro. It was our first time here with a group and we were told we were too slow and felt rushed. Also apparently We were driving too fast per a Ken playing. We left our husbands to grab a drink From bar then were told we need to have the players in golf carts with us when we're driving. I thought we were playing too slow? how can we stop them from playing drag them with us to get drinks? It would've been nice to know the golf cart rules up front! I would never return here. If you want to be rushed come here if you want to be harassed then come here. read more

Played last week and had a good round. Greens were super fast and rolled true. Pace of play was good until a 5some of all ages jumped on the back 9 and slowed play. Didn't really affect me til about hole 15 so not too bad. Only lighted driving range in the area. New mgmt is making good progress. read more

No complaints about this golf venue. A (regular) bucket of balls will cost you $5.50 and is a lot of fun to go hit. Balls are also sold for $1 each at the golf shop. While I don't actually play the course, my fiance enjoys playing here. I prefer to just hit balls. read more

Paid $48.00 to play here at 7:30 in the morning and it was a horrible experience. They treated us terrible telling us we were playing slow and it was two groups in front us. The Marshall was harassing us and not the group that was actually the problem. I will never go back to this golf course. If you looking for a place to play go to River Island or Valley Oaks in Visalia. I would give this place zero stars is I could. read more

much improved since the new owners took over...the pro shop is very nice...the employees in the pro shop are super friendly and helpful. It would be nice if they could put some water jugs at different holes on the course (like Valley Oaks does) and maybe do something about the stagnant water in the ponds that seem to attract mosquitoes. Over all its a good priced course and like the direction its heading. read more

This course is pretty good for a challenge. Not too difficult if you're golfing with some newbies. It's very family friendly with a restaurant and everything. The warden is usually on top of the slower golfers or the ones that are not letting others pass. I would only not give it 5 stars because the first 9 holes are unkempt and worn down, not very maintained. read more

We played Tulare for the first time in a couple of years and we were surprised by the changes made to the clubhouse and the course. Tulare had always been good for an entertaining round but we were impressed by the improved condition of the course and the quality and speed of the greens in particular. There was also deep aeration work being done on the fairways which should improve their playability and consistency. The driving range is now lighted and the clubhouse pro shop and restaurant bar have been nicely remodeled. The pro shop also does full club repair at very reasonable prices. Also, the staff including the on course workers are genuinely friendly. The new owners have done a great job in making the Tulare Golf Course facility a very nice public golfing venue. read more

I love the music, love the course but thought price for senior was a bit high at $30 to walk

I have played my last round at this course. The course Marshall was giving our group a bad time about slow play, even though we were keeping up with the group ahead of ours. Unless you are a family relative, friend or annual membership holder they don't treat you the same. In addition, the employees in the pro shop will forget you purchased beverages, I had to ask for my beverage purchase on more than one occasion after paying for them. Valley Oaks and River Island are way better courses, and you don't get hassled about your pace of play. read more

It's been a few years since I've played here so this review is strictly for the practice facilities. I was in the area for the farm show and needed something to occupy my time when visiting vendors got a bit tiring. I decided to hit the golf course to get away from the incessant sales pitches. I didn't have time for a full round so I spend some time putting around. The practice facilities are very nice, room for 15-20 golfers on the range, 2 putting greens and a pitching green with a sand trap. The short game area is where I spent most of my time. It's where scoring happens and it's free to use. The greens rolled true and I'd guess they'd stimp about an 8. They feature some subtle breaks that match what I remember of the course and also have a 2" hole to refine the skills. The pitching green was a little soggy and needed to be swept but in doing so I had plenty of balls to work with. The moisture didn't allow me to work on bump and runs but I was able to work on distance control. The driving range is a bit short with the last flag at 225. I'm sure it's good for 90% of golfers but I wasn't able to work in the driver. All in all its a great range and I wish there was something in Bakersfield that was this nice and didn't require arm wrestling high school kids for a spot. Notes: 1. It's right off the freeway and there is plenty of parking 2. The airport is next door so it provides some entertainment watching the planes. This may bother the big eared golfers that are easily distracted and need complete silence. read more

Nice course. The greens were great and I had a blast playing here. I came on a saturday morning and the pace was excellent. Unlike valley oaks I didn't have to wait around forever at every hole. The staff is very friendly and it is well maintained. Plus it's cheaper than the other courses in the area. I will return for sure. read more

Fun course and great people. The course is in good shape and the greens are great. The pin positions are changed often making it challenging for those who play here often. read more
