Apple Mountain Golf Resort

I have played this course about a half a dozen times. This course seems to attract either beginning golfers or people from out of town who have never been there before. Therefore, My average around has been 5+ hours. The marshals a very understanding but there's not much they can do about it. As a single, I requested to go out first thing in the morning in order to Get ahead of said groups, but the starter would not allow anyone to go out before first scheduled time (even though the sun had been up for at least one half hour).

That being said, I don't think I can recommend Apple Mountain unless a player is willing to spend an entire day on the course.

Beautiful and challenging shot makers course. Great value,

First, the good news. The staff at Apple Mountain golf course are absolutely fabulous. Also, the course is in pretty great condition considering we are in.

Now for the bad news. Unless you have 5+ hours to burn, this course is not a good choice. This iseems to be no fault of the staff. I have played this course a half dozen times now and every time has been with either a beginner golfer or someone who does not play golf but wanted to Experience Apple mountains scenery. This Is what leads to 5 to 6 hour rounds.

My only complaint is that they will not let anyone go off before 8 o'clock. As a single, if they would let me go out before that time, I could be done in 3+ hours and have a great time.

It is for that reason, and that reason only, that I would not recommend this course.

Better than anything I have played. Recommend it to anyone. Absolutely must ride, walking would be a great challenge. Views are breathtaking.

First let me say I love this course! I do not play it as much as I would like based on distance from my home. That being said, I was lucky enough to be able to sneak up and play 9-holes and it was fantastic.

The course was in excellent shape, pre-Fall mode so the greens had pine needles to deal with; but overall played fantastic.

I'm visiting from out of town and I am glad I decided to play this course. It is scenic and challenging. You do not have to be long to place this course. It was a perfect day weather wise which just added to the beauty of course. The only downer, was we caught up to a foursome on the back nine which was extremely slow and did not seem to mind holding us up. We could have been finished an hour earlier if this group was not so rude. Other than that, it was awesome!

I had been wanting to play this course for a while after hearing great things about it from my golfing friends. When I saw the offer on Golfnow for 18 holes plus a cart for $18 I couldn't say no! I live in Sacramento and we have great courses but most are pretty flat. Apple Mountain is anything but flat, so it was certainly a challenge for me! Really interesting layout, and it seemed like I never had a shot that didn't include elevation change.
Great fun and highly recommended!

This is a unique golfing experience. You are playing amongst the pines with no surrounding homes to distract you. Keep the ball in play on this scenic course & you will be rewarded. Fairways are wide enough to allow for the average golfer to stay in play. Only 5900 yards from the blues. You will enjoy this serenity. One caution - do not attempt to walk this course unless you are part billy goat!

Friendly staff, excellent mtn. course, very challenging, yet very manageable. My buddy got a hole in one on the 7th tee from the blues. Good times!

On a cool cloudy day the course played to it's usual awesomeness. It is the Mecca of all golf courses in the foothills.

Staff has always been very friendly and accommodating. Wife was hurt and couldn't play, I played as a single and the starter put us out on the back. Played 9 in under 2 hours but was not rushed, just a steady pace. You will want to bring-buy extra balls unless you are very-very good at hitting fairways.

Didn't know quite what to expect, but it turned out to be a very fun round. It was a Saturday morning so it was understandably busy with nothing but foursomes that I could see. The greens were fun and challenging, I'm not sure I've played greens so incredibly fast downhill and incredibly slow uphill like these ever, but I'm not complaining. The greens were very receptive to spin. I really liked the course design, it played very fair for a densely wooded tree lined course with ample doglegs. However, this course is not walkable which is a little pet peeve of mine. I believe true golf courses should be walkable. Great staff, very easy going people. Totally play it if you have the chance.

Might as well leave the driver at home as you'll rarely need ti on this course. Pure target golf at it's best.

Great course, very hilly with some tough elevation changes. It was a little dry but considering the drought the course is in good shape.

One of my favorite courses. It's beautiful and challenging with a lot of doglegs and some tricky greens. A fun course that can at times be a little frustrating.

Always wanted to go and cross it off my course bucket list. Finally did. It was a fun day. The views were really something. Bring a lot of balls! My only complaints were that i was hoping for it to be more green but it's ok still had good time. My other little comment is we wanted to hit balls and we payed 5$ for bucket then we go over to range to find out it closed 2 hrs prior and would be closed due to maintenance. Pretty lame.

This was my first but not my last time playing this course. You'll love the elevation, the scenario, and every hole. Me and my playing partner, played from the blues, it's not that long, just you got to hit the ball straight. It's well worth the drive.

Excelent weather and the good pace of play helped to set my course record with 2 over par. Should play this course if anyone likes challenge in a mountain course. Wonderful place to place a round of golf and a picnic at the nearby orchard. The best time to play at this course is autumn when the leaves turn to beautiful colors and there are some free apples to munch.

Fun course to play, not for the beginner! Bring lots of extra balls and patients.

As a woman golfer the red tees was forgiving on distance but still quite challenging for my first outing to Apple Mountain. Shot a 93 which is average for me But the triple I made on the first hole to start out gave me pause!

Fun and absolutely beautiful surroundings! Perfect way to spend my birthday! Can't wait to go back!
