Always a joy to play

This course is a part of my regular circuit of 3 local courses, and it’s my favorite of the three. Pretty forgiving as long as you avoid the few water hazards. Fairways and greens are in good shape. Some of the tee boxes could use some TLC, but they aren’t too bad. Bunkers are in good shape too with fresh sand.

I hit some of my best drives, irons were ok, and putting was great! Short game killed me though. Gotta work on those chips and pitches.

First Time Playing

Well maintained but odd layout

The course conditions were great. Greens rolled well, the rough & fairways were well groomed, and bunkers well maintained. It’s just an odd layout with fairways so close together. Dealt with a lot of errant shots from adjacent fairways coming too close for comfort. It is also a layout that you really need to know where to place your tee shots to be able to have clear approaches to the green - driver not always the best club off the tee.

Great Value

Course is always in good shape. Sometimes greens get a little furry, but it's more weather related than upkeep. Staff is always friendly. It's a 1/2 drive for me but it's still the best value in Sacramento area.

Ok Round of Golf

They had recently sanded the greens, and as a result putting was a mess. In addition, the grounds keepers were constantly in the way tending to the greens. Some seemed a bit stressed out trying to get work accomplished while having to avoid golfers.

Enjoy playing this course

I have played this course many times. Not in the greatest condition, but very playable. The greens are always a little spongy, meaning you may not get a consistant roll on the greens. Greens can be hard to read. They do not "roll" the greens here--they just cut them. But the greens are in very good condition at this time of year for the hot summer months. I did NOT encounter any mosquitos this day, being that the course is next to a river. Always a good idea to bring bug spray or bug cream though just in case. I had a nice round. Sand traps in very good condition. Teeing areas can be improved though.

Very Good Day of Golf

Had a great time. The course was in good shape. The greens were soft and good for scoring. The weather was in the mid nineties, but not too hot.
