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.

Beautiful course.

It helped to study the course in advance. I also followed the course tips and even birdied the

16th hole. It was challenging and a lot of fun!

Fun course unless you have a two way miss

Always enjoy playing Apple Mountain. Fun and tricky course. My one request is that the grounds crew sharpen the blades on the hole cutter. Last two times I’ve been there the holes have not had a clean cut to them which only really happens if those blades aren’t sharp. It makes a big difference aesthetically and in how the putts drop, and you need every little bit of help you can get on the greens there.

Greens also felt pretty slow to me, but I could just be used to higher stimps.

That’s it! Had a great time otherwise. Staff was very friendly and course was in good shape.

Great course, friendly staff, chronic slow play.

Course was in great shape. Staff always friendly and helpful. The only drawback to playing here, as always, is the snail-like pace of play, which isn’t the fault of the course, but of the players. Apple Mountain is a VERY challenging course, which many players either don’t understand or don’t appreciate. The 2 biggest issues are they lose ball after ball in the unforgiving rough (and then spend too long looking for them), or they underestimate their club selection, as the elevation changes on many holes adds a club length or two to your shot. There weren’t any rangers present to speed up the slowpokes, so it was a grind just to finish. So - if you’re a new (or bad) golfer, DON’T play here - you’ll have a not very fun day, lose a ton of balls, and upset everyone else who has to suffer playing behind you ! If you’re a good player, you’ll enjoy the challenge of having to play your best to score well.

A must play

I always love playing this course. It’s very challenging for beginners and even intermediate players but you will still enjoy the challenge. Most of the time it feels like you are alone out on the course because if it’s not too busy most groups will have some separation between them. I would recommend this course to anyone.
