Auburn Valley Golf Club

We arrived with plenty of time to hit balls and putt before we teed off. The real issue is that they people that work at Auburn Valley were already teed off. We all got an earful from them about how we shouldn’t use GolfNow anymore to book tee times as they will not honor those times going forward and that we were double booked for the 8:40 time slot. How would we know that they shouldn’t be on GolfNow anymore?! The starter kept a close eye on us when we were on the range since he was “doing us a favor” by squeezing us in. Not my favorite thing to be rushed off the practice range when we had plenty of time only to be sandwiched in between 2 groups and had to tee off on number 10! And they raised the green fee significantly as well. For a course that won’t take tee times from GolfNow and they want to charge $69 / round they really need to do quite a bit to get their course to this level. Speaking of level, there was only 2-3 level tee boxes at this course, and one of the guys wanted to buy an extra sleeve of balls and could only get one kind. I couldn’t believe how they had little to no merchandise in the pro shop but had brand new golf carts!! Something is definitely a miss at Auburn, this is a far cry from the great customer service I have received in the past. I will not be making the effort to go back anytime soon.

Staff at the course were very nice. I walked in and had said I made a reservation on golf now and another reservation on their website and realized both don't talk to each other because they're not synchronized. She indicated they'd been having issues with GolfNow, so as of 8/23/2020, it hasn't been fixed.

Some member yelled at me because I bought a bucket of balls and was heading to hit a few practice shots, but apparently I missed a tiny sign on the ground that said members only. Anyhow, I didn't have an issue moving to the "public" driving range (same thing, just 10 feet to the left), I just had issues with this punk yelling at me. Either way, not reflective of the staff of the course.

Regarding the course layout and the carts, I had lots of issues. The carts are geofenced and there are major major issues around hole 6 and 7. Spent like 10 minutes pushing the cart back into geofenced area, because the cart essentially became disabled. Also, we had massive confusion about the course and the directions to get to the next hole because apparently we completely missed 2 holes. Makes no sense to us how that happened, but oh well.

It'll be a bit before I come back. I feel like this course too far of a drive from Sacramento for my personal taste.

Amazing course with some lengthy par 5 and fun par 3s

This is a great course. It was challenging and just a lot of fun. The staff was friendly, the fairways and greens were manicured. The only criticism would be some of the tee boxes needed some work, outside of that it was a great value and we will definitely keep this course at the top of our lists to play.

Pretty course in the Auburn foothills. Fun layout with new upgraded carts with GPS course screens ubs plug-ins too. Nice outdoor grill area for 19th hole drinks & food.

It was a really good day on the course, hardly anyone out there for a pretty quick pace of play under 4 hours, course in good shape, tee boxes need a little help.

we got to the course early to hit balls and were able to tee of at our scheduled time or earlier.

friendly. staff.

Course was in fairly good shape. Greens quick. Don’t be above the hole. Traps still unplayable but could be easily prepped for play. This course is all about ball position on the green.

Auburn Valley Golf Club is a fun, enjoyable, challenging golf course with extremely narrow greens. At many greens it could be only 20 feet across, leaving a very small target. Unfortunately, a lot of ball marks on many of the greens because members and guest golfers are not repairing ball marks. Also, due to a lack of aerating the greens, and not using sand when aerating, these bent grass greens are very susceptable to ball marks, and the tough soil makes it more difficult to fix the ball marks on the greens.

The course is very beautiful and challenging but it is very wet, even in May. There was standing water on some of the tee boxes and casual water around many greens.

Excellent condition and layout, a lot of action on the greens. Great old course

This course is a great test of your golfing abilities. You definitely will use all the clubs in your bag and the greens are tricky.

This was my first time playing golf at Auburn Valley. I was thoroughly impressed with the course layout; challenging yet fair. I would return and play this again in a heartbeat. Beautiful course.

Great nature views and setup. Grass is too long in fairway rough and around greens. Once your ball is not on fairway, you will hit the ball in heavy grass.

Greens are a little tricky but felt need to be ironed. The condition of some tee boxes areas need to improve. Foe example, on Hole 14, Chestnut tee - a small temporary-like tee and uneven tee box.

I almost could not find a spot to tee off and keep good balance.
