Apple Mountain Golf Resort

The course is in terrific shape. It's a great option to get away from the crowds and play some interesting holes. The tee boxes are a little fuzzy, but the fairways and greens are excellent.
It's much more difficult than the scorecard suggests. With the assortment of blind tee shots, hard dog-legs, sloping fairways, uphill approaches, and undulating greens, it's hard to find a straight-forward shot.
In my first round, I struggled to put the ball where it needed to be. You need to know the bounces before taking aim.
Also, the pin placements were brutal. There were no easy putts.
With a little course knowledge, I look forward to coming back.

Having players driving balls into I when u r in the middle of fairways is horrific. Then actuLly getting hit by a ball and going to the hospital. Was rediculous. I will never go here agAin nor recommend this place

The golf course was not busy and my round was still 5+ hours. The 'Marshall' said "hey, what're you gonna do?" I suggested perhaps letting a five-some (yes, 5 peeps) out in front of multiple three and twosomes may have been a bad idea. Hmmm. Never again. Too many other worthy options in the area to go back to this one.

App Mountain will test your club choice. Its best to play that straight 200 and leave the driver alone most of the time. But it invites for that Eagle putt.

Love this course. Absolutely the most picturesque course near Sacramento. Best course for the price. Would give it 5 stars but the greens and fairways had just been punched and the grass was a little inconsistent on the greens.

This is one of the best golf courses in the region. This cousre is in excellent condition and the views are totally amazing. You will have to hit some shots or bring plenty balls with you. But you will have a blast playing this one.

Course was in great shape best in a while. Pace of play went really well on the front nine, it slowed on the back nine , it still was a very nice day

There is no apparent reason for the blocking of fairways to carts from 200 yards in. This required much more trudging up and down to get to the cart. Every hole was blocked from at least 150 yards to cart traffic. One might as well walk the entire round. The scenery was extra nice and the people very friendly. We drove an hour to get there and will not go again due to severe cart restrictions.

This is the best golf course in the area! If you are wanting to get out of town for the day and enjoy beautiful scenery, this is the place to play! Amazing views on every hole and excellent course conditions!

wow what a great track, to bad the greens were just punched and sanded, i look forward to playing it again .LOVED IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is a good golf course all around it it has hills side lies uphill lies downhill lies it makes you a better golfer Good all round

Apple mountain is the most unique experience in golf.

Being that I was there for the first time, I was very impressed at the conditions of the fairways and greens. They were very well kept, especially after winter. Scenery was fantastic, the course at certain holes are even better. A great place to play, not your typical course. A lot of hills and the par 3's were pretty tough. The up hill holes are tough as well.
Loved playing and would definitely play again.

This is one of those courses you stumble upon and are extremely impressed. It's not too long, but the varying elevation changes make it challenging. Sometimes the greens get a little bumpy but it's not a deal breaker. And the price is very reasonable. Every time I leave Apple Mountain, I think to myself, "what a great spot!" I'll make the drive every chance I get.

Today will be my fourth day practicing on the course, and the putting and chipping greens are in fair conditing with camparison to actual greens.

I mistakenly booked a tee time on golfnow.com for the wrong day,,the 19th. The staff took care of me and allowed me to play the 21st when they saw i was a no show on the 19th,,,

The course is very challenging but the hardest part is knowing where to hit it and where not to hit it when you havent played there before. The course is beautiful visually and the layout is good with no holes being the same. The par 3's are excellent and if you like getting home in two and can hit the driver straight on par 5's you will like this course. I am a low single digit handicap and had to grind out a lot of pars but shot fairly well. My son who hits it long but not always straight found plenty of trouble. He is a 10 handicap but shot a 104. That will tell you all you need to know about this course. Two things I didnt like were that the greens were not in very good shape. They have big undulations making them tough to putt but they were VERY slow and bumpy. I was expecting pristine greens ad that was a disappointment. The other thing I didnt like was that my son and I wanted to have a beer on their patio after finishing the round at 4:45 on a Friday and the restaurant/bar was closed! At 4:45 on a Friday? The restaurant in general is very odd looking. A big room filled with chairs with no character. Definitely not a course you want to go to if a good 19th hole is important to you. Overall, the course was as beautiful as any you will find. The conditions minus the greens were great but the greens were not good and I hope that was just timing. I will go back and play again and would recommend the course but if you are a high handicapper bring plenty of balls.

if you like mountain golf this is it,fantastic very plush and green. hope yo do better next time six holes if not played well big numbers. no beginners should play this course.

Not your typical course. It's long but you're not just gripping and ripping here. This course really makes you strategize your shot. For about 14 of the 18 holes you're hitting irons off the tee box. This was different for me but I enjoyed it, forced me to play really "smart" golf, not necessarily hit it long but hit it so I could get a good approach shot, sure you can bomb it 300+ on some of these holes but then your lie is on an uphill slope and good luck gettin outta this mess. Overall, it's an amazing course!

Hadn't played this course in a while. Got a good deal through Golfnow.com and went up with a friend. Beautiful day to play and not many people out, can't figure that out. Fairways were in great shape as were the greens, fast. This is a tough course but worth the effort to play. They did lose one green to the cold, sits in an area that doesn't get a lot of sun so we did have one make up green. Couple of places you could lose some balls so bring some extra. Also bring your camera to take a few pictures, you won't be disappointed.
