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.

Golfer Reviews
Mountain Gem
Tee off at 1pm. Course in excellent shape. Not many people out more than likely because it was hot for the foothills. Extremely quiet, serene, nobody playing music in there cart,. Awesome round and condition,
Apple Mountain
This is a not very friendly course for the average golfer.
Beautiful and challenging
I decided to play Apple Mountain when some friends told me about it. It was spectacularly beautiful, amazing scenery, deer or bucks walking around on most holes.
The greens were fast and tough, lots of slopes and undulations. Lots of elevation changes from tee to green. Staff was excellent, plus the starter gave out a tip sheet for the course. The next time I play there I will know some of the layouts a little better, there are several blind shots. The pro shop recommended the gold tees for first timer 17 handicappers like me. I still shot 32 over. Also, bring plenty of golf balls because you will need them.
Also the price was very reasonable, and they offer a senior discount.
I will definitely play here again soon.

It’s my favorite course in the greater Sacramento area; beautiful, challenging and a skill improvement course if you play it often enough.
Also, Ryan is a great asset to the business!
Ups and Downs
Very hilly. Almost every tee shot was either steep going up or steep going down. Requires a lot of walking as you can’t take a cart in many places because of the terrain. Very enjoyable and challenging. I would definitely play this course again.
Great course but….
This course is beautiful. Nestled in the mountain pines with great views and a fun layout. Love it. What I don’t love is the pace of play here. Played the course twice now and have yet to finish a round in under 5 hours. So darn slow. It’s slow because the course is very difficult if you’re a high handicap golfer. I saw numerous groups searching in the woods for their golf balls. From 1 through 18 there isn’t much relief if you don’t hit the ball fairly straight. Not the course’s fault. I only mention this as a warning to those of you who hate waiting every hole to hit. Again, this course is beautiful and fun if you have the patience required to finish 18 holes.
Great course!!
Great layout. Nice greens.
Everything''s great about this course.
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.
