Winchester Country Club

I need to golf this course again when there is not a tournament in front of me. If I had known I would not have booked as it made play VERY slow. BUT the course if wonderful and can be a challenge if you have never played here before.

This is a beautiful course. It used to be a private country club but opens tee times to the public now.

Great and well maintained course. Really nice driving range and putting area.

I had a great time, used my eagle status free 4some so yeah it was a great value. But i've been here a few times before and have always been treated great, even better with the new ownership. Course was in great shape with challenging and firm greens. Friends had a great time too. Special thanks to the starter/range attendant who was cleaning everyones clubs while they were on the range, as well as sending ppl off the first Tee. Great time!

Golfers, in your lifetime you must play this course. It is heaven on earth in term of beautiful golf courses and it has all the challenges one could ask for. This course is NOT for beginners. A treasure in the hills of Auburn.

Winchester is one of the best courses in Northern CA. It is pricy, but well worth the experience. The course is in fantastic shape, although they do seem to be having some trouble with the greens, but not to an extent that detracts from the value. The staff is incredible, and the facilities are in a class of their own. If you aren't breaking 80 with any consistency, you may want to avoid it, as you will probably have an incredibly frustrating day. But if you are able to have fun while struggling, simply to enjoy a spectacular course in tranquil surroundings, then by all means, GO FOR IT!

Day we played, it was empty so we finished in 3 hours.
Nice amenities and staff was very friendly and courteous.
Course plays longer than actual yardage due to layout.
If I lived close, I would likely join this club.

This course came highly recommended from some friends. It has all the nice trappings of a good course: excellent practice facility, beautiful clubhouse, friendly staff and nice carts. However, the course isn't a true championship track. Many of the holes are tight and great drives leave you with uneven lies and peculiar second shots. The strength of the course is its par 3's. A couple are outstanding. The longest of the par 5's is also nice. Overall, there are other great golf courses in the area that should be played first.

Great high end venue. The course ranks among the best of the best !

The course was in pristine condition and the vistas were worth the price of admission. Some of the shots are blind which encouraged me to want to play the course again. It is a spectacular setting and the staff was friendly and helpful. I look forwardto a return play.

I used my golf rewards to play at this expensive course and LOVED IT. The veiws are breathtaking. Its very long and about 80 stories of elevation change.

This course was in great shape, and very playable. The rough was thick, but fairways lush and in great shape. The greens rolled true. We were able to get out an hour early and even tho we were behind a tournament the pace of play was great.

Winchester is the best course in the area, and for $55 it's a steal.
It's not a grip-it and rip-it course. You must strategize your tee shots, balancing risk and reward.
The greens are fast and true.
The pace of play is usually great. Mid-week you can play in under 4 hours.
All of the little things are done well. It feels like a country club (it is!) for a muni price.

fairways great condition, greens slow could have been faster. beautiful course

This is an excellent golf course, great variety of holes, plenty of elevation changes, generous fairways, large undulating greens, teriffic scenery, great practice facilities & attentive staff.

The course was in great shape for early March. Very scenic with
views of the Sacramento Valley including downtown Sacramento.
Each hole is unique and nestled in hillside settings with sloped greens that are challenging. We really appreciated the service at the 19th hole. We got in late,but they were willing to stay open and the attendant was very hospitable. Drinking a beverage and looking out over the valley at sunset was very nice. No other course in the area has what this course offers.

This is hands down the best course available to the public in the Sacramento area, no contest no way. If you can get a hot deal for under $80 you will not be disappointed. The fairways are in excellent shape with many open to use of the driver if you have good accuracy with it. The greens were challenging but large. Overall, the course was maintained excellently with views of Mt. Diablo from the clubhouse. The best part about this course is that no one is out there playing! We had a tee time at 11:20 and got through the round at a leisurely pace by 3:30pm plenty of time to take advantage of the beautiful clubhouse bar.

We had a nice day at Winchester. Be aware however, the brakes on the golf carts are iffy and there are a number of steep downgrades between holes. We had one minor rear ender when the cart would not stop on the cart path down to #10 tee.

INTERESTING 70%OF HOLES, REMAINDER SEEMED TOO EASY FOR A 12 HCDP.. ALL IN ALL FUN AND THE YOUNG MAN AND HIS SON WERE A PLEASURE. ALSO MARSHALL HELPED UP PLAY THROUGH A FOURSOME THAT WOULD ULTIMATELY SHOOT A 6 HR ROUND, APPARENTLY GETTING THEIR MONEY'S WORTH.

This is a great golf course. I like that the course plays in front of you. There is very little circus golf here. With the exception of 10, every hole is a fair test. I would have easily given this course 5 stars, but no course should play 5 hours on a Monday afternoon.
