Winchester Country Club
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.

Golfer Reviews
Awesome course in great condition .
Winchester is a great course and is getting back to flawless condition under new ownership . Staff meets you at your car and makes a good first impression . From the parking lot , to the pro shop , the range attendants , and the starter - to the marshals on the course - EVERYONE was friendly and helpful . The course is visually stunning and in great condition .
This is a great course.
A friend and I played on Thursday October 17, 2013. The course was exceptional. The staff was exceptional. Wewould highly recommend playing Winchester Country Club in Auburrn, CA. It's picturesque, well taken care of, and the greens were fast and in excellent shape. Go Play.
This course has the best Features
Winchester Golf Course CC is an Awesome Course , overall rating EXCELLENT !
Slow play but great course
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.
Staff was fantastic, course was fun
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!
"ONE OF THE FINEST COURSES IN CALIFORNIA"
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.
Great challenge for avid golfers
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!
Fantastic course
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.
Nice, but too quirky
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.
Incredible course design on an incredible hunk of the Sierra foothills.
Great high end venue. The course ranks among the best of the best !
A true country club experience.
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.
private course features for the public
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.
Stunning!
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.
Best around
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.
couple realy nice holes
fairways great condition, greens slow could have been faster. beautiful course
Fantastic 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.
Best course within an hours drive from Sacramento
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.
What a Sierra Foothill Gem!
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.
