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.

Keep uo
Winchester is not the course to bring your beginner spouse out on a Saturday afternoon… tough course and pace of play suffers.
Beautiful course
Had an amazing time playing here ….course is beautiful and in great shape
Fun track in the forest
Winchester is an enjoyable course that winds its way through the forest at altitude. From the black tees, the test places a premium on accuracy, not distance. Lots of cool design and fun holes to play. Greens are large with some pretty severe slopes in places. You can take advantage of those slopes on approach if you know where they are - it’s definitely one I’d like to play again.
Every hole is different!
Such a beautiful course in great condition!
On many courses, several holes seem the same… saying to yourself, “didn’t I just play this hole?”
Not on this course, every hole is different, interesting and challenging!
Best course in the Sacramento area!!
This place is a hidden gem. If you haven't played it.....you need to! Great greens and fantastic layout. The staff was welcoming and very friendly as well.
A little pricey for the conditions
It rained heavily a few days ago but the course was still very water logged compared to others in the area. A few of the pin locations were in the drainage spots so those holes were quite trampled with the soft greens. Also they clearly prioritize weddings because there was no way to even drop off the cart after the round as it was blocked off.
Great track; a challenging, shot makers course
Great track! The course was in great shape, even with winter conditions. This is definitely a shot makers course. Quite a few holes limit your shot selection off the tee and many of the greens are guarded by big deep bunkers. The greens rolled true, but have a lot of movement and are difficult to read. If you’re looking for a course that is going to make you hit the majority of the clubs in your bag, and force you to play both a draw and a cut, I highly recommend Winchester.
If you are new to the game, Winchester could be a frustrating outing.
Not worth green fees
The course was in horrible shape, the greens had been aerated & they were way better than the tee boxes & fairways. There was nobody at the restaurant working, with no food or drink & conditions being as they are, that was last time I pay for this course.
Beautiful course
Really enjoyed our round. Pace and course conditions were affected by rain as it was cart path only but overall a very enjoyable experience. Will be back for sure!
Another great day of golf.
Great course, great layout, great staff and amenities. The last two times i played this course it was very soggy especially the back nine. We had balls plug in the middle of the fairway. My only ding on this course is the maintenance of the course.
Very good condition and scenic
A little pricey but the condition and design was excellent. The greens were true and fast
Not worth the money
Since it’s 2 or3 times the average cost of around in that area, it was not worth it greens in around the greens were poorly maintained.
