About
Winchester Golf Club boasts a championship course that was a collaboration between Robert Trent Jones Sr. and Jr. The foothills of the Sierra Mountains serve as the backdrop to the course, which sits at a convenient elevation of 1,800 feet that puts it right above the fog but below the winter snows. The golf course also enjoys panoramic views of the Sacramento Valley. Massive rock outcroppings border the fairways, calling for some creative shot making. Accuracy is also a necessity with meandering creeks and bunkers coming into play on most holes. The layout is challenging but five sets of tees make the golf course approachable for a variety of skill levels. Winchester G.C. is not only well known throughout northern California, it has also been ranked as one of the 15 best in the state.

Great layout, couldn't wait for next hole.
Layout is great, couldn't wait for the next hole. Greens were average.
great course
Great view, challenger course. I wish the fairway and the green would be a little bit softer. Overall, very good experience.
Fair test of golf in a beautiful setting
Brought some friends from the Bay Area up to Winchester. They were very impressed. You cannot play anywhere in the Bay Area like this for the money.
Resort worthy golf experience
Beautiful mountain course only 1hr20mins from Lodi. Spectacular views and pristine conditions!
Unmatched aesthetic beauty designed by RTJ and RTJ jr two of the best
The pace of play could be any time you want it to be. We could have played in under 4 but my ideal is slower because I like to savor the course. The setting is as good as it gets. beautiful trees set in the gold country/foothills warm weather. The value is very good. When you come to Winchester you feel like it is your very own private course and that is very valuable to me so I can take my time. The walk is a killer ( a plus to me and may not apply to many others it is very demanding) Watch out for 15 virtually an island green and 223 from the tips
Great Shape and Wonderful Views
Winchester is a semi-private course with lots of interesting hole layouts and rolling fairways. A Robert Trent Jones Jr. course it is in my opinion somewhat more playable than another RTJ course in Auburn, The Ridge. Great staff, wonderful driving range and putting green, although fairly pricy.
Beautiful course, very good condition.
This course is challenging from the tips. Long par 3's. All the holes are great minus just a couple. Very nice practice areas, and greens. I think it's a little pricey. I think the golf now prices are about what this course is worth. I wouldn't pay regular rates for this place. It's nice, but not that nice.
