Yocha Dehe Golf Club at Cache Creek Casino Resort

maybe the best first hole in golf 15 stories above the fairway greens were near perfect fairways like carpet views unmatched A 1 practice area I will play it again soon

This was my 4th or 5th time playing out here...the course itself is fantastic and was in excellent shape. Definitely one of my favorite tracks in all of California. The downside...it seemed the outside staff was "bent out of shape" that we did not pull up to the front of their facilities to drop our bag off instead driving straight to the parking lot and parking our car. As we were walking up to the pro shop the outside service guy told us that they prefer guests drop their bag off first before they park so the service team could place bags on carts and have them ready for customers out back of the pro shop. After we checked in we walked out back to pick up a cart where another outside service guy mentioned the same thing to us, stating we had gone against their normal protocol. Myself and my group were made quite uncomfortable, as if the service staff was mad at us for leaving our bags in our car. I've played a lot very nice public courses as well as many nice private golf clubs and sometimes their downfall is trying to provide too much service. This, again, was the vibe we got as a Yocha De He outside service gentleman stood and watched us as we warmed up on the driving range. There's only so much service that is needed or wanted at a golf course...I am a member at a private club in Northern California and Yocha De He's outside service team's attempt at service even surpassed my own private golf club's service team, which already I feel can sometimes be too much. I, along with my group, can really appreciate the effort but again we thought we were constantly watched and bombarded with too many service attempts. In short...fantastic golf course, great facilities, worth the drive, probably a little too much service.

Good tough course. Next time, I'll play from the next closest tee boxes. 420 yards par 4 holes are a bit of a stretch for a 65 year old.
Awesome views.

Love this course and staff, but this was a day before a PGA qualifier and I was not impressed at all by the behavior of the golfers. Group in front of me was playing 2-3 balls each- not a problem until the group behind started crawling up my backside- I was ok with it as I understand these guys are trying to get in. The capper was on the back nine at 12. I had a gap wedge shot to the green,, and two players came in from another part of the course and without a word, drive up to my green, dropped a handful of balls and started putting! I looked at them and said what gives? They waved, picked up their balls and jumped to 13, and started hitting with that group!

Enough was enough- I left after 12 holes- too bad as the course was in great shape and up that point it was a gorgeous day in the valley. Would have been nice to finish it up, but it was quite clear that was not going to happen.

I'll check before I book another round here- if there's anything like this going on I will go elsewhere

This course is beautiful. The staff was friendly. The bottles of water every three holes was very appreciated on this 90 degree day.

Down side it was hot. The course showed a little wear from the drought and heat. Course still in very good condition. Best and most friendly staff on any course I have played including some of the elite. Will definitely play again.

Course in great shape. Long, tough greens, and a great challenge. Can't wait for my next round here

Most of the workers were quite rude. Perhaps it was because of my age or the look of my golf bag, but from the moment we arrived we were treated with no respect. That being said the course was beautiful and well taken care of. The fairways were under repair unfortunately but that is to be expected occasionally.
There are too many beautiful courses in California to go back to Yocha Dehe for the worst customer service I have experienced on a golf course.

Yocha dehe is one of the premier courses in the area, the staff makes your golf experience excellent. They are currently working in re-sodding parts of the fairway but other than that it's great. Greens were punched 9/2 are still in incredible shape.

Staff & grounds crews were excellent. Couldn't ask for better service. The greens were in fair condition given they were plugged September 1. However, the fairways were almost nonexistent. I would estimate that over 50% of the fairways were barren ground. Little or no grass under the 2nd & 3rd shots. I've played this course when the fairways were in prestine condition. Will not play again til conditions improve.
I was a little embarrassed after bringing a friend out to play after bragging about the course.

Played for this course for the first time. Staff was awesome! The setting in the foothills is fantastic. Fairways were in good condition and greens were firm and fast. The drought is beginning to take a toll on this course and many others. There are areas of the course which are being "let go." No real effect on play just hard to see in such a beautiful setting. I will be back for sure!!

I snuck out to YD while I was in Sacramento for work. Because if was the dead of summer there were some great deals to be found! Everyone I spoke to recommended this course and I have to say, it filled my expectations.

The courtesy staff makes you feel like you are at a country club from the moment you arrive. They are all very friendly and eager to help. Bring some cash to tip them.

Practice facilities were plentiful and in good shape. There is a drought here right now so they have minimized their watering effort but I never felt like it affected my round (for the exception of the warm up range). The starter was helpful in telling us about the course and off we went.....and WHOA, what a way to start! (you will see when you tee off on #1 here).

The course was GREAT! Tee boxes for every level. Truly one of the most diverse scenery golf courses I have played. A little bit of mountains, little bit of vineyards and plenty of creeks and ponds. We ran into a couple of deer while we were in the vineyard as well making the experience that much more special. Bunkers were soft (wish I didn't know that so well!) greens were great and the fairways were huge!

We ran into the group ahead of us about hole 9. Being a resort course I can see how pace of play can become an issue but since they were nearly the only other group out there that day we passed them on 11 and never saw anyone again.

I cannot wait to return to YD! Definitely worth every penny!

This course is excellent. It's a very fair golf course where good shots are rewarded and bad shots result in bogey or worse. I played with my wife and we both enjoyed the course, so payers of all abilities will enjoy this track. Staff was to notch--very professional and friendly. Tee boxes were pristine, like the one you see on TV. Greens are perfect--on the faster side, but that's how I like it, and the putts role pure. On of my new favorite courses. Worth the drive, and will definitely be back.

I have playedthis course about 10 times and always enjoy the layout and the great maintenance. I last played here in May, so I was surprised to see all the brown grass when I played this time. In response to the major drought we have in all of California this year, I was told they have cut their daily watering use in half. As a result the driving range is all brown, except for thegreen painted target greens. And there are other areas on the course where the grass is all brown. But I applaud the management for taking this step in light of the water emergency. The course was still a joy.

Played here at 8:30 AM tee time on a Saturday. Course played just a touch slow, but only by a few minutes. Fairways and greens are in great shape. A water conservation effort has resulted in many areas beyond the rough that are not watered and brown (dead). I did not play out the dead stuff once the entire time, but the people playing with me and it seemed easier to hit out of than the rough. The rough is, well, rough. I think the best advice about this course is to
1) Stay in fairway, but if you wind up in the rough then
2) Take a safe shot back onto the fairway rather than trying to hit from the rough like you can still reach the green in regulation.
The rough grabs your clubs and makes it very hard to hit your ball straight.

Yocha Dehe is pricey for me but such a great outing!!Calif in a bad drought but they recycle and manage the course SO well it was green and lush. Got a slow start behind 4 hi rollers and had to jump past them to actually play!! Bunkers crusty but they had just been watered. I started 8:15 but already hot!!
All staff and cart girl were very nice and encouraging!! Course lush, trimmed from tee to green

When in northern CA this course is a "don't miss".

First class operation ! Excellent staff, amenities refrigerators stocked with water every couple of holes very nice !

For years I've heard from others how great this course is and after finally being able to get out here I have to say that everything I've heard was correct.

This course is amazing. Beautiful scenery, the fairways and greens are immaculate. This is my new favorite course.

The price is a bit much compared to what I usually pay but it's worth every penny.

I had a 8am Tee time and was done at 11:15.
Staff was friendly and helpful.
It was a great time and despite the 2hr drive, I'll be going back very soon.

This course inspires you to play great

Another great day of play here, and no question why they are called green fees. Perfect condition, great customer service and challenging design. Already planning my next round. Restaurant had great menu and tasty lunch.
