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.

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!

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 course

Planned a weekend getaway with golf and came across this course and decided to reserve a time. This course did not disappoint! It is in great shape and absolutely beautiful. The course is tight in a lot of areas, so if you don’t hit it straight, plan on taking extra balls in your bag. We had perfect weather and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Staff was really friendly and we look forward to playing there in the future.

Tough but beautiful

Apple Mountain is a course with hazards everywhere. If you can’t control where you want your ball to go, you better bring plenty of balls. The sand traps had very wet sand in them. Overall, highly recommend.

As beautiful as hard!

Beautiful course. Probably the most beautiful in the sac area. Extremely hard, would not recommend to beginners or beware of expectations! Lot of obstacles, need to hit a fair distance to get on the fairway. Maybe play red or gold. Greens are challenging too. Don't think of walking here and be careful riding a cart. Very steep, but again so beautiful and serene

Well kept, beautiful course. Definitely challenging with all the hilly terrain and trees, but stay in the fairway and you're golden ;-)
