Lots of challenge for a very good price

Course was in pretty good shape for early season. Fairways could have been more closely mowed, but still early in year. Greens were were pretty thin, but still rolled pretty true. All in all, it is a great target course; if you can stay in fairway and hit good approach shots you will be rewarded. Great elevated tees and greens with great vistas. Weather was great and course in good early season condition. At just $29/player it was an excellent golfing value and a great day. Staff very friendly and helpful

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.

Pace of play

That schedule groups too close! Having to wait 10 to 20 min per hole haven’t been able to finish a round in under 5 hours the last three times I’ve played and had to skip holes. Don’t play hear hear unless you have a 6 hours to kill!

Poor course management

Having played Apple Mountain many times over the years, we have usually come away satisfied with the pace of play, course conditions and personnel. However, yesterday as we made the turn we discovered management had allowed a ten person "competition" to occupy both the 10th and 11th fairways. After contacting the pro shop, we were initially told they were unaware of group and the only option was to skip holes 10 and 11 and perhaps play them at the end of the round. This was not possible for some members of our group resulting in an incomplete round and overall disappointing day.

Please let all golfers know that they have to let the group behind them pass when there are 4 or 5 holes open in front of them.
