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
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.
Georgia on my mind !
Beautiful course especially the month of May
The greens are rolling well and the fairways are well kept
We love all the blossoms right now and the most of all you are in the woods ( no houses) and the Elevated T
Thanks guys ?
perfect day for golf
very friendly in pro shop,course in very good shape, tough greens that are big but lots of slope and thick rough around the collars
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.
The course was in excellent condition, pace of play was nice, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. You just don’t wanna get off the fairway makes for a long day and high score.
Top Apple
The course was lush and the greens rolled slow but not bumpy at all. A beautiful day and a great way to spend it. My buddy kept gobbling at the wild turkey’s and they kept talking back to him. Good times great golf.
Apple Mountain Majesty
Tremendous golf course that is groomed to perfection. You can get lost in the scenery and watching the wildlife when trying to figure out which club and target to pick. This is a gem hidden in the ponderosa pines heading to Lake Tahoe. You won’t be disappointed; but, gauge your skill because taking that high risk shot with low probability of making it will leave you blaming the course instead of your course management skills. Great practice areas and a really friendly staff. Mind the cheat sheet the starter offers you. It’s a good guide. Definitely will return.
One of My Favorite Courses
Even though the greens had just been aerated, the course was in terrific shape. Fairways were green and lush, traps were in great shape, and the greens, despite being punched, were still good enough that it didn't ruin the round. I just love the lay-out of this course. It will literally make you hit every club in your bag. And don't let the yardage fool you. It may not be the longest course that you play, but if you're not accurate, it will be one of the toughest. I will go back and play Apple Mountain any time!
