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.

Golfer Reviews
Beautiful views on every hole!
Love this challenging pinesy course. Definitely need to heed the tip card provided on every golf cart. It'll make your round much more pleasant. Each hole is picture perfect.
Not walkable
This course is stunning and very well-maintained! The staff is very friendly! Clubhouse serves a variety of beers and pub food that was tasty and inexpensive. They do not serve past lunch however. No beverage cart noted on the day we played. Not sure if their tee times are spaced wider apart or if we just didn't have anyone before or after us because it seems we were relatively alone on the course which was very nice! Finished in 4 hours despite working on our 15 year old's swing. The 16th hole states that the blue markers are mark a historical site; we saw the markers but never did figure out what the site was.... trees growing out a mound of rocks. Might have to call and ask.. LOL! All-in-all, a beautiful & challenging course that I would definitely come back and play!
Beautiful course
Enjoyed a great round of golf at one of the prettiest golf courses in the greater Sacramento area in Camino.
Seriously? Gorgeous, challenging, intimidating and more WOW factor than....almost anything!
The title tells it all. Every hole, every shot, every view, every green - WOW! A hidden gem in the middle of (almost) nowhere. This track should be a must play in every serious golfers agenda. I would suggest that the fun factor increases with your skill level because there are very few places you can make mistakes without severe consequences.
We played at a time when the vegetation was in full bloom making it even nicer!
Something to note is the length. At around 6500 yards it is not that long and when it was suggested to me that a 4 handicap should play the track at 6000 yards I was quite surprised. Needless to say, I went against the advice and played the tips and was not at all disappointed. 100% concentration on EVERY shot or you are looking at at least double - yikes!
We just cannot say enough about this track. Superb!
Negatives? Some newer carts with better batteries! We make it but passed at least half a dozen dead carts on the last few holes - but - the staff were on top of it and shuttled replacement carts efficiently without much disruption in play.
Ok
Would have been nice before booking tee time it was mentioned greens were punched and that its cart path only. Other than that everything was great!
akarres,
Thanks for the feedback and we are sorry that the course maintenance was not conveyed to you. Hope to see you back soon so we can earn those last two stars!
Beautiful Scenery, Great layout
This course was very fun. Only downfall was the soggy conditions. It still needs another month or two to dry out from all the rain/snow the Seirras have had this past winter. They couldn't even open the driving range. Other than that, it's a beautiful course. Great price too. I'll be back in a couple of months. No doubt about it.
Thanks for coming in!
As you noticed, March can still be a soggy month for us here and we are sorry they conditions weren't the best when you came. Hope to see you back soon so we can earn that 5th Star!
ABOVE THE FOG
Played on Saturday,course was in great shape for being close to 3000 ft.Sun was out,no wind,just great service and great pace of play..Weather was much nicer than lower elevations.Kinda cool in shade,but stay in fairway,its warmer...The staff is great there
Thank you for the 5 star review. We LOVE hearing your positive feedback!
Very scenic challenging course
Had a great day midweek. It wasn't crowded so played at leisurely pace. Great views. Greens in excellent shape. Cold water at water stops. Friendly staff. I can't wait to come back.
We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your time at Apple Mountain! We look forward to having you back!
This course has everything
One of the best courses I have played,I have played all over the USA and Europe a lot of up ,down holes right to left the greens are the best around easy to read if I lived in the the area I would play this course everyday .Great course thank you so for a great day.
We are honored to hear that we are one of the best courses that you have ever played. Our staff works hard to keep the course in top condition, so we appreciate getting this review. We hope you will come back and see us soon!
Very cool mountain course
This is a difficult, narrow course with spectacular views, elevation drops, and towering pines in the Sierra's. It could use some tlc, greens are slow and bumpy, but for the value and views it is a very nice day of golf. Slow play the day we played( 5 hours). If you spray the ball, bring plenty!! Senior rate on Tuesday was $37, cart included. Pay attention to the tip sheet they give you, and read putts from both sides and play more break than you think is needed.
Hi Gary,
Thank you for the feedback and the tips! We appreciate you coming out and playing at Apple Mountain. Hope to see you back out on the greens in the future!
Scenic and Tough
This course is a challenge. And don't even think about walking it. Best suited for mountain goats. Each tee opens a new postcard - beautiful scenery. I highly recommend Apple Mountain. If you are not experienced with a low handicap, bring extra balls.
Thank you for the great review! The views at the course are truly beautiful. While the course can be challenging, we hope you enjoyed it!
Now my favorite Mountain Course
Staff was very friendly. The course was very well marked so you were able to navigate from tee to tee with ease. Greens and fairways were in excellent condition. My wife told me to be sure I mention the extremely clean and modern restroom on the course. My wife and I had a wonderful day. Hats off to the staff and greens keepers.
Glad to hear that you and your wife had an enjoyable experience while playing at Apple Mountain! Our staff works hard to keep the course in top condition so thank you for taking notice. We hope to have you and your wife back soon!
Can't get mad
Can't get mad after a bad swing, with views like this! Club down, lots of roll and carry. Awesome! Great customer service....thanks
The views at the course really are great! It's nice to get out and play a round with the beautiful scenery. Happy to see that our staff was friendly. Hope to see you back out on the greens soon!
awesome
very very nice, I can't wait to play it again
Thank you for the 5 Stars! We look forward to having you back out at Apple Mountain!
Amazing Views challenging course
Amazing mountain course with spectacular layout.
Friendly staff got us out early. Some challenging holes require course strategy and less than driver for good ball placement. What a great view on every hole.
We appreciate the wonderful review! Having views on every hole just makes your round that much better. doesn't it! Happy to hear our staff was friendly and helpful. Please come back and see us soon!
The course is visually great and fun to play the use of nature in the flag sticks and yardage markers and is great attention to details other courses
Great place to play and enjoy mother nature beautiful
Thank you so much for the 5 Stars! The natural surroundings of Apple Mountain truly are beautiful! We hope you will come back and see us at Apple Mountain soon!
A walk in the woods
This is a great course to play to improve your accuracy. It is challenging and fun to play. The greens are in good shape except they need to be softer . I hit many high shots close to the flag that would not hold the greens. I also wish they had a GPS system. Overall I would recommend this course to my friends.
Hi Matt,
Thank you for the review and your feedback! We are always looking for ways to improve the course so we appreciate you taking the time to leave a review! Hope to see you back at Apple Mountain soon!
Thank you for coming and playing at Apple Mountain! We can't thank you enough for the this wonderful review and are so pleased you had a great time! Thank you for the input about the carts too! We were having a rough day with carts that day! Hope to see you back again soon!
