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.

Great place to golf!!
Immaculate fairways, plush greens and they treat you like family. I would highly recommend playing this course if you haven’t.
Beautiful and challenging
Love this course. Was a little bummed no shaft for my broken driver at pro shop. We had some poor etiquette from some out of Towners’, but that can happen anywhere! Prepare to drive cart safe and stretch ahead of time to get up down big hills . Guide sheet offered is very helpful even on return visits!
Mountain Golf
I love mountain golf... something about it. Especially when you find a gem like Apple Mountain! This course is phenomenal and I play every time I'm in the area. The practice facility is amazing. The course is amazing... the greens were not perfect, but it looks like they had recently been punched. If you haven't already, go ahead and book a round at this course and I guarantee you won't be disappointed.
About as good s it gets!
My second time playing this gem, and to be honest I didn't remember it being this good.
It is mountain golf through and through. Tight tree lined fairways and dramatic elevation changes throughout the course. Walk at your own peril!
Though not long, you certainly cannot grip and rip your way around this layout, precision is more important then length.
The staff could not have been friendlier, and with everyone in their own carts the pace of play was exceptional.
Here is my only fault... The greens were slow, but that's fixed with a good cutting and I'm sure they are not fully staffed due to the pandemic.
It's a long drive for most people but well worth the trek!
TAHOE COURSE AT A FRACTION OF THE PRICE
IT'S LIKE PLAYING A LAKE TAHOE COURSE AT A SMALL FRACTION OF THE PRICE. THE COURSE IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE AND THE STAFF AND MAINTENANCE TEAM ARE DOING A GREAT JOB.EACH YEAR THEY SEEM TO GET BETTER. FOOD HAS AWAYS BEEN GREAT! COME ON UP YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.
Not 5 stars but ok
Very hilly, blind corners, large up n downs of terrain. Covid golf.
Apple Mountain
This is a wonderful course in a beautiful area of the country. The different hole elevations will mess with your game if you are not used to them. Each side of 9's does have three par 3s which is not typical. Because of the current conditions, the off-course amenities were not really available.
Apple Mountain Golf Resort
Apple Mountain Golf Resort is only an hours drive east of Sacramento.
Checking in at the pro shop was cheerful. After much deliberation I decided to play off the Blue tees (5990 yds) which would push my sometimes dubious golf talents to the limits.
Standing on the first tee was a little daunting looking down at a sliver of fairway made even narrower by tall pines and cedar trees that run the entire length of the hole. It was really satisfying splitting that first fairway. It's all of a 90 foot drop down to the green from the tee on Hole 1.
If it's elevation changes, great scenery and a whole lot of fun you're looking for, you won't have to look much further than this course. Every single hole on the course will provide golfers all of the above. Deciding on which club to pull out of the bag for the next shot was part of the fun playing here.
With six Par 3's on the course there are many opportunities to find birdies. This course is going to test your ball striking as well as challenge your course management skills. The fairways are tight and the greens can feel small. Overall conditioning of the course was very good. The greens were quick rolled nicely.
I think I did extremely well to pencil in only two penalty strokes, find 8 greens and 8 fairways in regulation, but more importantly I had a great time doing it.

Amazing
Challenging fun beautiful great layout wide variance of type of play needed everything I like in a course remember to be careful driving those cars it is a steep and hilly terrain
Apple Mountain during February?
Always love Apple Mountain but especially happy to play in February which normally wouldn’t be the case. It’s been a very mild winter with no rain recently the course is in great shape and it felt like spring time. The course is tough but fair; if you stay in the fairway not very long especially considering the elevation but a wayward drive is usually a lost ball or very tough lie. The scenario is spectacular. Very hill cart path; do need to pay attention and not go to fast on downhill turns. Excellent putting / chipping area plus driving range.
Number One on my list. Scenery and the staff service.
From February 2, 2019 to today, 2/18/2020, we played 47 rounds of golf, all over the West/South West from AZ, NV, OR, UT, HI, WA, and CA plus a few times in overseas (Barcelona and Rome). Apple Mountain recorded 7 rounds! My guests and friends also appreciated a great deal. Scenery and the services. The staff make you feel VIP and plan the pace of the play very well.
They can improve the greens by up keeping them on a regular basis, especially after a weekend. There are some unrepaired divots. Keep up with the good work!!
And thanks to GolfNow. Please keep them on your Hot Deal list.
Those trees!
.....are spectacular and eat golf balls..
Love the course, looking forward to when all the holes open up.
Apple Mountain GC
Apple Mountain is set in a beautiful setting just above Placerville, Ca. Challenging mountain course with lots of ups and downs. Love this course!
Good Course
Really fun challenging course. Definitely worth the price.
Not over crowded
heaven
first time visiting the view was heaven. I love the course it in great condition. it test your skills by making sure ur in position . the staff was very friendly from the golf shop to the course. the greens keepers wave and say hi . only thing I say as a con is the holes don't have shoe cleaners and my seat on cart was duck tape. don't think that looks good.
this course on my sch every year from now on :)
if you haven't played yet ur missing out
