Type Resort
Par 70
Length 6308 yards
Slope 141
Rating 70.2

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 eapeirnce to be shared..

How would the PGA play here? The caddies would have to be`Sherpas ,, I doubt the players could make the climbs..But in a cart with worn brakes it is a becomes a spectacular thrill. Gorgeous. !! Simply Gorgeous.!

Extreme elevation changes lush fairways tract through the forest .Plenty of traps, plenty of water and the huge well manicured greens provided many interesting putts. .. . Wonderful practice areas too. Take your A game. and share this with people you want to remember, cuz you won;t forget this place.

Majestic

The word I can best use to describe this course is majestic. With dramatic elevation changes and sharp turns golfers will definitely need well placed shots to score low on this course. The rating being so low definitely surprises me considering that this is a pretty difficult course. If you’re even thinking about playing for the first time, stop thinking and book a tee time. The views alone are worth it.

Challenging course.

A challenging course where shot placement is key. If you are not accurate or play to aggressive you are in trouble!

Awesome hilly course

I have heard of this course and I was warned that it is hard and to bring a lot of balls.

When you arrive you are greeted with the beauty of the Sierra foothills. It is so gorgeous here that you might forget to play golf and just look around.

The course is very hilly and several hundred feet in elevation change. It is very challenging, you need to know where to lay up and which club to use on the elevated tees. The fairways were in great shape, the greens were well manicured and VERY VERY FAST!!! I normally putt 32 to 36 times on similar courses, this time I had 41 putts. I lost 3 balls, one because I didn't know the course and hit a drive too far and OB I went. 2 others were lost in the hazard areas. i was happy with losing only 3 balls. My playing partner lost 12.

I cannot say enough how pretty this course is.

Every tee entry has a name for each hole, along with neat Totem pole yardages marked on them.

Great day, slow pace

The course was in great shape.

However, we set off at 1:40 pm and didn’t finish until 7. A round over 5 hours is never enjoyable. Two groups ahead was a fivesome, and we waited for a few minutes on every hole. That being said, there was a Marshall on the course that we only saw once. Too bad, as the course was great other than the poor pace of play. Unsure I’ll drive an hour to wait on every tee box.

Awesome track to play!

Apple Mountain has got to be one of my favorite courses in the sacramento area, with its beautiful hills and wildflowers. It feels like it is just you and the woods. Highly recommend
