First Time Playing

Awesome and secluded

This was a great course for the money! Love how secluded and nice the property was. I’m from the east coast so this was my first time playing in CA and this was just a pleasant round of golf. The layout was great but wasn’t too challenging and the greens were impeccable.

Mow the rough eh?

Lost a few balls just off the fairway cuz the rough could use a trim. Saw the balls land and bounce even. No find em. The fairways have some weed patches, and not the good kind. They do, however, have some good beer on tap. So there's that. With so many golf courses in the area I'll give it another shot in a few months. Did I mention the beer on tap?

Usually a nice course. It was pretty muddy with some restrictions. I’m sure it will be better next time.

This course holds up well after a lot of rain.

The course was playable after a lot of rain, unfortunately the front nine couldn’t be played with a power cart, so we ended up playing the back nine twice. It was still a great day for golf!

Good for winter

Greens are in good condition, tee boxes need some work, fairways not bad considering all the rain a couple days ago, course seems to drain pretty good. Staff is friendly and tacos after round are delicious.

Still winter conditions

Course is in okay condition. Still winter dormant grass makes for some poor lies. Grounds crew is doing a lot of work so when it does eventually warm up/green up it should be in excellent shape. The day I played we were stuck behind a very slow foursome so it was a longer round than it should have been.

Dry course

It was great to find this course DRY. Unlike Morgan Creek which was a muddy mess. Golf carts allowed on fairways. Did no damage. Real sand in traps. Great day

Greens!

Played with a buddy in strong winds. We had a good round. The course is well maintained; and the greens were exceptional. They were firm and rolled nicely. The only negative experience would be a couple of the tee boxes that were rutted and no where near level. Overall, I consider this course to be the best bang for your buck in the Sac area. Kudos to the grounds crew!
