Great day

Green speed is perfect. Just happened to have my best round of the year. 5 putts over 12', greens rolling nicely.

Course needs work

Tee boxes and greens are in bad shape.

Course gets a lot of corporate outings and they are not keeping up with the damage done by the "drunk hackers" .

Thinkers course

Bring all 14 clubs you'll need them. Beautifully laid out course, that challenges you to constantly consider risk/reward. Friendly staff and the new normal, as they have cost cut by letting the course go....it's a shame with a course like this but, until golf picks-up I'm afraid we will see more and more course in need of repair.

wrong date

When I booked my round that morning I failed to look at the date. It was 2 days later, the Pro shop was kind enough to understand and got me out. They said, this happens more than you would think.

Be ready for a hike

Love the ambiance around the clubhouse with bronze statues of John Wayne, Geronimo and a Sabertooth Tiger. Newer carts with GPS and ice box are nice but trigger a slow down/stop if you attempt to drive in ob area or outside of directional cart path signs. Arthritic players, bad knee, ankles or older golfers will have a hard time here. The course is pretty nice overall but not exactly lush fairways as they are struggling to keep grass pure in the August heat. On course restrooms are clean. Water buckets every other hole. The staff member at the pro shop spent some time pointing out the particulars for our first round here. The fairways are tight but the sand was fluffy and the greens were primo. Stay within yourself and don't try to get too fancy, you'll be rewarded with a fair chance to score. Worth the hour drive from South Sac. on a Hot Deal!

Ridge; challenging but fair.

The course is in great condition, greens are perfect. This course is well designed, with many traps and water, but is fair if you play smart golf. Course offers a challenge, but is not unfair or so difficult as to frustrate the average golfer. One problem; (pace of play issue)we had a foursome, had to let six doubles and three singles go through during our round. The doubles and the single should have been paired up. Not fair to us and caused disruption and really slowed us down.

One of the better courses in all of Greater Sacramento

Course condition was awesome. Kudos to the the grounds team. Greens were fast, but rolled true. As stated earlier, this is a challenging course. But even beginners will love the disneyland-style elevation changes and the beauty. This course is a bargain at $60 on the weekends. Play it.

Course struggling in the heat

Things were a little beat up from the heat. August heat is obviously not the best time to play to get perfect green rough and fairways. Despite the heat, the crew had the greens nice and soft and the greens rolled nicely. Lots of fun holes, many quite memorable. Many of these followed obviously natural terrain and others were more sculpted with landmovers. I'd play it again, especially before any of the courses that wind through suburbia.
