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.

Winchester
Still the best course layout in Sac Valley. Unfortunately course finances and management cannot keep the course up to what it should be. They would be wise to lower cost and increase rounds of play. Drinks on course but grill doesn’t have fresh food at turn
There is no Marshall to keep pace of play which leads to slow play. Practice range good but putting green horrible
I love this course
As much as I love the course and the layout, many of the greens were in terrible shape. We enjoyed the round, but it was not up to the standard that I played on that course in previous years.
Fairway we're a little worn out,bunkers could use maintenance, some fairways we're over watered, greens in good shape
Winchester
I have always been a huge fan of this golf course , played it numerous times. Yesterday was very disappointing. The course was in terrible shape ,as were the greens and the cart paths . I would not recommend playing Winchester to anyone until they improve the course .
Winchester
Nice course. Very tough course. You gotta be accurate and on your game. Enjoyed the experience. Friendly staff.
Tough Shape
Winchester has a great layout, full of challenge the entire way around the course. It's in pretty rough shape right now. The course is soaked and soggy in places, lots of cart path only. There are large patches around the greens that are covered in sand. Most of the greens are good, but there were a couple in poor condition. If you can get a Hot Deal around $80, it's worth playing. I'd be disappointed if I paid rack rate right now.
Beautiful Course
Very scenic. Grass was a little over watered in places. Quite a few holes were cart path only not to my liking. Everyone was very friendly. Bunkers were a little wet in places and hard to hit out of. Overall a beautiful course. Looking forward to playing there again.
Vijay
Hot day no water on golf course on any hole
Plus some of fairways are very soggy wet
Amazing
This track is incredibly enjoyable. It features rolling hills and challenging holes. The course is in superb condition, with just a few spots having slightly too much water, but the greenery is everywhere. My friends and I had an amazing time. The only downside was the pin placements on the greens, which were quite difficult. I imagine the crew who set these pins were quite frustrated when they got to work. :-) After the round, we sat and ate to relax a bit because the course put its hands on us. I can’t wait to play again. It’s well worth the admission price. Tell a friend to tell a friend. Use Golf now and book a foursome.
Great
Fantastic mountain course with great elevation changes. Very demanding cause of difficulty with lie conditions. Great overall conditions and pace.
