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.

A pretty Par 3 Photo submitted by Annapics on 03/19/2013
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
Excellent round of golf
Excellent round of golf on a beautiful and a bit challenging course
Awesome layout
Great views with elevated greens and tees need carry hazards and few layout tees finished under 5 hours
Awesome elevated tees with scenery
Long round just under 5 hours with 6 Par 3s with small greens two tiers and undulated all pins on slope
Great experience
Thumbs up! I try to play on way to Tahoe. Takes a few rounds to learn this course.
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!!!
Good Course but Overly Tricky Greens
Course layout is outstanding. It's a fairly difficult track, tight with a a lot of uneven lies. The greens are grainy and very fast. There were more than a few pins that were bordering on unfair however - just no way to get the ball close, and then you're left with a challenging two-putt. In my opinion, when you have putts rolling past the cup, and all the way off the green, there's something wrong with the setup. Takes a lot of the fun out of the round. The fairways are not as plush as other courses in the area. All in all, an enjoyable round.
Excellent course. Very challenging.
I loved playing here. It’s a very difficult course but I would still recommend it. The greens are fast and it’s well taken care of.
My new favorite
This course was challenging and exciting. You are rewarded for great shots. There is lots of elevation change and the boxes are not always close so it's a cart-only course. We like to walk but found plenty of opportunities to get exercise. Well-balanced spacing between white and forward tees for women and seniors!
First Time
Beautiful and challenging course. Our first time there. Amazing.
Amazing views!
First off the staff is great! Very friendly.
The course is very challenging and is well manicured. Lots of hills and elevation changes. They even give you a “cheat sheet” to help you know what to hit off the tees and how the greens break. That was so helpful.
Thank you!
Beautiful challenging course
Grounds are gorgeous and the course is challenging. Great place!
