A major upgrade is coming to the Dryden Golf Course in Modesto, as city officials have approved funding for a brand new clubhouse. The old facility, which had been standing since 1966, was lost to a fire in 2020, leaving only a portable trailer for golfers. Now, the community can look forward to a spacious 7,000-square-foot clubhouse featuring a restaurant, outdoor dining, and a larger pro shop. Talk about a hole-in-one for the golfing community!
This new clubhouse isn’t just about serving food and drinks; it’s about creating a vibrant gathering space for residents to socialize and celebrate events like weddings and quinceañeras. Funding will come from various sources, including insurance payouts from the fire and Measure H, which is the city’s 1% sales tax. In total, around $2.8 million will go toward building this community hub.
Set for construction beginning in February 2026 and expected to wrap up in summer 2027, the project promises to enhance the overall golfing experience—though it comes with a $5 increase in fees. It looks like golfers in Modesto will soon have a more inviting way to cool off after a round of golf, with a hot dog or two in hand! What could be better than that?
