Apple Mountain Golf Resort
About
Nestled in the rolling hills of Gold Country, Apple Mountain Resort has a dramatic landscape that provides plenty of elevation changes, making it a nearly impossible course to walk. Some of the drops from tee to green are unbelievable, offering unrivaled views of the surrounding mountains. Nearly every hole enjoys a stunning backdrop. The incredibly diverse terrain makes the golf course a challenge regardless of whether you are a novice or a pro. Golfers will have to contend with mature trees, water hazards, and numerous strategically placed bunkers in addition to the uneven lies and blind shots that are a result of the undulating landscape. Apple Mountain Resort's golf course is especially nice to play in the summer since its location enjoys a temperature that is at least a few degrees cooler than the Sacramento Valley.

Hidden jewel.
Apple Mountain is simply the most beautiful course in the Sacramento region. Turf maintenance is excellent, not crowded- you can stop and smell the roses.
Perfect day for us.
Pace was a little slower than expected but it was perfect for me due to how health conditions after the heart surgery. Perfect weather and friendly people helped us to enjoy the outing. We had a rare double birdies and the score was good too. Good maintenance of the course overall made this course a park environment. As I mentioned a few times before, this course is one of the most beautiful courses that we have played throughout the world. That includes Korea, Thailand, Carolinas and Georgia. Of course, it was some years ago and I am sure there are more beautiful courses than Apple Mountain. Anyway I just enjoy playing this course any time although it is very challenging but there is that much reward.
Beautiful course
This is the most beautiful course in Northern California. Here in the foothills but the flora looks like Hawaii. No straight forward holes, beautifully manicured..
Always a fun track
One of my favorite courses. Not a driver course. Make sure your iron game is on or you will lose lots of balls. Greens are typically fast, they running slower than usual and it looked like they got punched recently. Overall, great course and lots of fun
Still fast and firm
Greens were punched several weeks ago but the greens were still firm and fast. So challenging but a fun course.
Perfect Day
Very Happy with the course condition. Some of the front 9 greens had been sanded, but it didn't effect the roll. Overall, the course was in good condition.
Wonderfully Challenging
Great course for the price. Has everything to challenge and reward you. It's one of my favorite courses between Tahoe and Bay Area!
Bad Timing
I’m just giving average review because it was cart path only play. We only played front nine because our age(71). The course was dry. We were exhausted when finished. The greens were horrible. Like I said, plugging and sanding was a timing issue.
I really love the beauty of the course, but if you a want a nice lie, you need to go elsewhere. Great practice though. It’s either an uphill or downhill. Nothing in between for us.
Have fun enjoy the views and use your foot wedge freely.
First time visit
Apple Mountain offers an immersive experience across hole with rolling hills and wildlife. Each hole offers a unique challenge but is also a great place to just get away next time you visit.
Slow pace of the play but had a great time.
Perfect weather in the mid-70’s with some breeze. Good for short sleeve shirts but not for shorts yet. Maybe another month. Returned to the Apple Mountain golf course for the first time in 3 plus years. Appeared made some good improvements in the course but still there are some things that need to be done. Bunkers need to be cleaned and the greens need to be worked on. Fairway markers are not visible. Tee boxes should be cleaned and leveled. Pro shop staff are friendly and efficient. The “bossy “ attitude of the staff seemed gone. Pro shop has ample merchandise for their customers. They have planted some apple trees on the slopes that is great. In a few years players may be able to enjoy some fresh apples during the play!??!!
Poor adherence to pace of play
Had a frustrating early weekend tee time experience. We pay a premium to tee off early on the weekends and expect a healthy pace of play. Unfortunately by 8:30 the groups were already 20 minutes behind pace. My 8:40 group tee’d off closer to 9:05. The worst part was the 8:30 foursome tee’d off, then split into two groupings in the first fairway. The Marshall failed to require them to play together. All of the golfers were clearly new to the game and likely should have been provided a refund and a bucket of balls to the range. Instead, after a 2:45 minute front 9 I quit at the turn. It was also obnoxious that the Marshall was still insistent that we were “on pace” according to the posted 4:40 guidance, which should be viewed as worst case, not best case. It would be nice if courses encouraged a 4 hour pace.
Beautifully Brutal
Stunningly beautiful...but slopes were killing me. Pretty challenging course. First time out there but will definitely be back. Overall, a GREAT day golfing.
Course was in excellent shape.
