Type Resort
Par 70
Length 6308 yards
Slope 138
Rating 69.7

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.

Always a good time, tee boxes need some help.

A challenging but fun course. Weather was perfect and the course was in great shape other than the tee boxes which need leveling and reseeding.

$90. 3 Hours. 9 Holes.

This is one of the most poorly managed pace of play scenarios I've ever seen and it absolutely ruined this experience.

My group had two players and the group in front of us had 5-6. After 3 hours of sitting around, I finally left the course.

Marshall was present, just didn't do anything to speed up the awful pace of play and it made for a really poor experience.

Although the pace of play ruined my experience and proved to make this a waste of money, I want to ensure that the staff is recognized for their kindness. They were kind and inviting during the check in process and when a member of the staff saw I was leaving after 9, he took time to offer a resolution; it was just too late for the experience to be redeemed.

Challenging

This course has many challenges. Major variations in elevation, carries off the tee and lots of woods around the edges. Greens were great and good fairway drainage. Beautiful scenery with all the wildlife carved right out of the mountain. Very challenging. Bring some extra balls if you spray 'em.

Best kept secret

Don't go to Truckee, Lake Tahoe or Graeagle to golf. Apple Mountain is a beautiful course with scenery equally as beautiful as courses which cost 3-4x

Beautiful but tough mountain course.

Course is in good shape after wet winter and mild summer. Greens were really nice. Not a wide open Sacramento valley course though. If you miss the fairway here you won’t be hitting from the next fairway over. Great weather all the way to dark too.

Summer at the Mountain

I've played this course countless times all through the year. The summer conditions are looking very good right now. Fairways were perfect. The greens were firm, not super fast. Unfortunately some of the par 3 greens had a TON of ball marks on them. Fix your ball marks people! If you can't do that then don't play golf!!

Great challenging course in the foothills

Wonderful play to play and it requires you to think about each shot. Luckily they have cheat sheets to give you guidance on each hole. Love this course!!!
