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.

Hidden gem
While heading to or from the Sierras its nice to have stop of golf location that isn't in the valley flat lands and Apple Mountain is the perfect place. Par 70 but sloped in the 130's make it plenty of challege even for low handicappers. Scenery is awesome and course conditions are much better than courses charging 3 times as much. Also got a good deal on a shirt post round. Put Apple Mountain on your to-do list. I'll be back soon
Special Place
Apple Mountain is like no other course in the Sacramento region nestled in the conifer forests of Apple Hill. The course is always in excellent condition due to its cooler climate at 3,000 feet elevation and well manicured greens and fairways. It has a very chill vibe and is a relaxing experience no matter how you play.
I survived Apple Mountain Golf Course
Great course. Challenging course. Beautiful scenery. Humbling experience when your off the fairway!
Apply Mountain Golf corse
The fair ways were good if you hit them. The greens were better.
Great course to play when temperatures are hot
Apple Mountain is a beautiful and challenging course. We like to play there when it is hot in the Sacramento valley; temperatures are about 10 degrees cooler and there is lots of shade. The course itself is usually well maintained and the ball carries well in the mountain air. The course is tight; you can score well if you keep it in the fairway since it's not exceedingly long but it's also very easy to shoot a high score and lose a few balls along the way. There is a lot of elevation changes so occasionally you'll have some side hill lies. Excellent and friendly staff; good driving range and putting / chipping area. One of my favorite courses.
Difficult
The course was much more difficult than the previous times playing. I had knee surgery in February and it was difficult walking up and down the hills. I have been playing flat courses for the most part until today, and up hill lies , down hill, and side hill lies were much more difficult We played with a couple of local retired teachers, and they kept us on track knowing the course really well. I would love to play the course again after I heal a little bit more from my knee surgery.
Fun
This course was beautiful well maintained everything I expected and more I can’t wsit to get there and play it again thank you so much for a great experience
Mountain golf
If you enjoy a challenging and spectacular course, this is the one you should try! The mountain setting is stunning and the course layout is ideal.
They are very proud of their golf course, and not afraid to run you off of it.
The staff started out the day by making sure that I knew the the golf course was too hard for me, and would take a box of balls from me. Then the starter wanted to make sure I knew the they watered heavily, and not to drive on the fairways because they were slippery.
So before I even teed off the staff was trying to discourage me from playing their course.
I’ll give them the fact that the course was OVER watered, and difficult to play. And, I did lose 4 balls. I’ll also make sure never to play there again. The restaurant wasn’t great either.
Overall I would give this course a very poor rating. It’s challenging, but I have a hard time getting past the rude Californians. Don’t waste your money on this overpriced, overwatered, overrated course.
Short and sweet
Course is not long and often don't need driver off the tee. Tee shot can be tricky for first timers -- the course guide on the card really helps. Greens are fairly undulated and has strong breaks -- need very careful reads. Overall a wonderful mountain course demanding precision not distance.
It'd be good to restore the black tee
Apple Mountain is an excellent course
Always enjoy playing Apple Mountain; the course was in pretty good shape despite heavy rains the day before. The course is tough but fair; if you can keep the ball in the fairway you will score. Excellent greens and a very scenic course.
Incredible Place
This is a course cut into the mountains. Doglegs that you can't cut corners. Only hit driver 5 times. Spectacular views and course is in pristine condition. My first time there and I will be back.
my home course..
such a fun track.. beautiful environment.. no houses, buildings, power lines or roads.. i hope all these five star ratings don’t drive the price up! ;)
