Not for beginners

The course is NOT for first time players or for ones who have not played in a really long time. It's built for the advanced players or players who golf on a regular basis.

First Time Playing

Awesome course! Highly recommended

Love this course! On our way to Yosemite we wanted to play some golf and found this awesome place. The practice area was nice and shaded!!!!! Pace of play was awesome. We finished the round in 3 hours. No rush at all. Weather was nice with winds blowing through 5-12 holes. Course is in good shape. We really enjoyed our time here and will definitely come back to play!

Getting Better

I last played Dragonfly in March and the course was pretty beat up from the wicked winter. Played on 5/8 and it’s getting better but still not in the usual better than average condition that Dragonfly is known for.

It’s still worth playing just know that conditions aren’t quite super yet.

Greens are decent enough and roll fairly smooth at a medium-fast pace. Fairways are so so but getting better

Tee boxes are ok and sand traps are excellent

Best overall course in Fresno

Love this course, for 3 reasons
1. Pace of play always good not like Riverside
2. Great staff always treat you well
3. Ability to get on and play again not like Riverside
In Fresno you only have 2 choices for non private ⛳️ golf
Love Dragonfly
Thanks 😊

First Time Playing

Fun course to play!

First time at Dragonfly and had a good time. Great layout. The conditions could be better but considering the rains we have had this season still playable. The greens are still fairly pure bent grass with only a hint of poa around the edges. They are a little shaggy right now so running a little slow. I'm sure once the sun comes out it'll all come together.

Mr Miserable

Great staff and golf course!! Would love to play there every week, but starting to get expensive with the daylight savings time and weather improvement. May have to wait until next winter to play weekly.
