Great club

Great course! Greens were sanded, so the greens were much easier. Usually the greens are fast and difficult adding to the difficulty of play. Love this course!

Aeration alert?

I signed up on GolfNow 3 days ago and did not see any aeration alerts online (after my round I checked again and no alerts appeared. After driving from Carmichael to Auburn, I was extremely disappointed as I strode to the first green and noticed the aeration holes and thick layer of sand. Who is responsible for removing the aeration alert? The condition of the greens were awful! This course is in mid aeration condition. Putting was impossible. I don't know if this is miscommunication between GolfNow and the course or just a glitch but there should be an aeration alert still in effect. Is there a representative who could address this problem?

This course is well maintained

This course is beautiful and well maintained. This course can play quite difficult. The trouble is clearly marked laterals, as opposed to rehitting when u lose a ball in the woods. But a fun and strategic course even for a recreational golfer. Not overly long.

Great Value

Very good course for the price. I will be going back to play again. Fairways and tee boxes were in perfect shape, greens had been punched a few days before, but were still ok. I liked that when I booked my tee time them informed me that the greens had just been punched. I wish I lived closer.

Beautiful location

I wish someone would have told me they had just aerated and that the greens had so much sand they were like putting in a sand trap! I had taken a VIP client there and it was embarrassing! Not sure I will go back! Disappointed that golf now did not have a flag on the website that showed it just aerated! Not sure who made that mistake!

Challenging Course

It is a challenging course. You must drive straight or else you are in trouble. The only thing that I didn't like about the course is that there are bunkers that don't have enough sand in them. Thus, cart path only when the fairways are extremely dry and in excellent condition.

This course has tough greens

You definitely want to be below the hole when putting. Greens are fast and true. April 1st is scheduled green maintenance so keep yourself in the loop. Plenty of bunkers so bring a beach towel. Enjoy!

Greens a fast and tricky

Second time I played this course.

You really need to stay below the hole on every green.

The greens were cut very short and are lightning fast. Almost like miniature golf. Not very friendly.

Bunkers were in bad shape. Looks like they are in the process of filling them with new sand.

One of the best courses in Auburn

This is one of my favorite courses in Auburn. We played this course two days after the thunder, lightening and rain. The car path only rule was in place, but I didn't find one section of the course under water or spongy from the rain. The fairways were in great shape and the greens were fast and firm.

Excellent Course, Great Value

Took a day break from skiing to head down to Auburn and check this course out. For early March the course was in great condition. It was afternoon on a Thursday so there was great pace of play. Overall this was a fantastic value and would highly recommend this to others to play.
