About

Holes 18
Type Resort
Par 70
Length 6308 yards
Slope 138
Rating 69.7

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.

What a Wonderful Facility!

This course is beautiful. Though not long, it is a great test of golf in that it requires strategy and execution. The Pro Shop staff and the starter made every effort to provide information and guidance about the course and its practice facilities. A card with information on distances and strategies for all 18 holes is provided which was very beneficial. Playing here was a wonderful experience that I look forward to doing again the next time I stay in the area.

Beautiful views.

Beautiful course...but it's hard, the pace was terribly slow, no one fixed their divots, over priced. Would play again during a slow week day at a cheaper rate if I didn't have to wait on 3 groups that started 40mins ahead of me.

Need more discipline on starting groups

Starter allowed a very annoying group on to first tee too soon - they promptly hit up on our tee shots (which weren’t bad/we were not looking for balls or anything). Set the tone for round. Not fun.

Obviously most fault with the jerk foursome (2 older Asian guys and their wives) - but starter can enforce first tee spacing.

Great Value - Challenging Course

Though not a long course Apple Mountain is a challenging layout. A lot of elevation changes with ball placement a must. This course is worth a visit. Great value.

Perfect weather in the 90’s and beautiful scenery.

Starting at 1pm the pace was great and the scenery was beautiful and the the staff seemed to know what they were doing. The only problem was the lack of some snacks and beverage due to the power outage which was not really the golf course’s fault.

Fairways well maintained, greens were were cleaned. Greens were super fast and undulating so missed 3-4 birdy chances. Because most of the fairways are sloped so the carts were not allowed that made us very difficult to get to the second shots. Although we like to course, we cannot play here as often as we would like to, especially we are middle 80’s and not easy to walk up the hills.

Great course

This is one of the best courses to play in northern California and the most challenging. I just wish they had a better restaurant with more barbecue food.
