Haggin Oaks boasts two championship golf courses, the Alister MacKenzie Course and the Arcade Creek Course. Designed by the legendary architect known most famously for Augusta National, the Alister MacKenzie Course has a classic but formidable design. The front nine is more open while the back nine is characterized by the stately oaks that line the fairways. The greens are small by modern standards and they play lightning fast. There isn't much water but the Arcade Creek does appear on five holes. The main challenges on this golf course stem from the heavily bunkered greens, which demand accurate shot making and putting. The par-3 16th is the course's signature. A massive oak tree stands to the right of the green and on the other side is the creek, which then wraps around the back. The green also has three distinct sections and if you're not on the right one, you could be facing a dreaded three-putt.

Great Fall Day, but pace was a little slow

Course in good shape. Some greens were in need of a good rolling. Pace was a bit slow, but apparently there was a glitch with GolfNow and the computer system - the clock change caused some double bookings. But all round, beautiful day, good beer, and good buddies. Haggin is consistently good value, both on the course, and in the Superstore.

Great day to play golf

Thanks to GolfNow I got a real good price including a cart and the weather was awesome. I have played here many time before and found the course to be in really good shape considering the drought that has caused bad conditions on other golf courses I've played lately. The only down side here is I found the greens to be a bit to bumpy, still, I highly reccomend playing this course.

I'm Back.

This was my first round in about 4.5 years, I found the fairways long, the rough really rough, and the greens VERY lumpy, even with the lumpy greens I held to 1- 2 putt each green.

Alister MacKenzie fun to play

A relative flat course with strategically placed bunkers. Many wide fairways, but off-line shots wound up in the trees necessitating punch outs. Most of the bunkers had a decent amount of sand which has been a rarity lately in the Sacramento area. Considering the drought and water restrictions, the course for the most part was in relatively good condition. The greens had been punched a week earlier making putting somewhat a guessing game particularly when it came to speed. The course was fun to play and I look forward to playing it again. It is a good test for intermediate golfers. The only negative of the round was the 25 gusting to 30 MPH winds.

First time playing the Course

Played the course for the first time and enjoyed playing a new track. I live just a few minutes from the Haggin Oaks facility and practice there often, so it was finally time to check out the course with the help from golf now and a little price break. After playing the arcade creek coursed I wasn't expecting too much out of their "big" course but I was pleasantly surprised. The course was in great condition and very fair. All the staff I encountered could not be nicer. Thanks Haggin Oaks I will be back.

Scott A.

The Alister Mackenzie course was in very good shape and nicely groomed. The pace of play was slow due to individuals playing two balls per shot (to no fault of course staff)... Weather was great and the greens were true... I'll definitely be returning!

this course is well maintained

I've played alot of courses lately and this course is in really good shape, the ruff is a little bit long but the greens are in great shape. I'd recommend this course to anyone who likes long strait courses.

Haggin Oaks Shotguns

The greens were in very good shape. The bunkers were also very playable. The fairways were fairly soft making it pretty easy to get the ball air born. I shot a 40 on the front and a 38 on the back. I think this shotgun was just a way for Haggin oaks to get players on the course. It didn't feel like a real golf tournament where something was at stake.

A Very Good Muni Course

The Alister MacKenzie course at the Haggin Oaks Golf Complex was a very enjoyable round. There are plenty of challenges on the course but not over the top. The greens were fast but receptive.

We played in very hot weather (95-100 degrees) but there is plenty of water on the course to drink. And, at one hole there was a member of the staff with a ice chest full of ice cold, wet towels to cool your head. This felt absolutely GREAT. We each had great tee shots after the cool down.

There are two courses at the Haggin Oaks Golf Complex, a restaurant, golf instruction, and a super store for buying everything golf.

All the staff we encountered were very friendly and added to our enjoyment.

Move up a tee

Usually play Burgundy or Cream. Was paired with a couple who had only played for a few months. The starter recommended we play from the front green tees. What a difference!! I made five pars and two birdies and the couple had a great time even with their length challenges! We kept up with 4some ahead and was able to keep ball in play. They did lose some in the creeks but were excited to play

best condition ever..... by far

Morton golf and mike woods should be commended on the fantastic job they are doing since taking over maintenance of the course. greens are some of the best in sacramento. fairways are great. tee boxes are way better. some redone bunkers which are first class. this course is up and coming!

quality of green

Course is conveniently located so it's perfect course for after work round . However greens need to be improved. They are always bumpy and slow - it really takes enjoyment out playing the course.

First time playing this course

Course was in great condition even with the water shortage. Perhaps use reclaimed water.. Lots of room for the not-so-skilled. Hot afternoon with very few players on the course.
