The second annual Golf World "Reader Choice Awards" has named Stevinson Ranch Golf Club as the #1 public golf course in California for a second straight year and 5th best in America. Stevinson Ranch, managed by Greenway Golf, Inc, was recognized for superior playing conditions, practice facility, service and overall value and was the only course in the California Central Valley to be ranked.

The rankings, by Golf World magazine, represent more than 46,000 votes from readers that were asked to evaluate the nation's golf facilities on 13 different performance criteria, such as quality of the course, course conditions, reputation/prestige and service.

About Stevinson Ranch, Golf World wrote; located "in the middle of nowhere" this "endlessly interesting" course is "worth the drive." The "greens are fast" but they "will give you putts you most likely never see again." A "wonderful" layout and "good conditions" make it very popular with our readers, and "until Pebble cuts their fee in half, this is the place."

"It's especially gratifying to be voted the best conditioned public course in California for two consecutive years, implementing the unique Greenway Turf Program has proven to be a great competitive advantage," said George Kelley, Stevinson Ranch's owner and co-designer.
