WildHawk Golf Club is a challenging championship layout that is one of Sacramento's most popular public courses. The verdant landscape is dotted with scenic water features, including a cascading waterfall. Water is naturally a prominent presence but the unique shape and positioning of the bunkers also makes the course stand out from other public tracks. The golf course boasts some of the area's best greens as well. The layout has a diverse mix of challenging holes and player friendly elements such as the wide-open fairways on the longer par 4s and par 5s, which makes the golf course accommodating for a range of skill levels. It still requires a fair amount of accuracy though since it can get tight in some spots. WildHawk Golf Club can also be more difficult depending on the wind

One of My Favorite Course

The course is in excellent condition. The greens are in excellent condition and challenging. Fairways are in great shape and the course is forgiving of errant shots. Really great place to play for an average golfer.

Forgiving course in great condition

For this time of year the course was in amazing condition. Greens were in excellent shape and challenging. Fairways were very nice. It’s got some difficulty but overall is decently forgiving if you miss to either side. Staff was friendly and did their best to keep pace of play moving. We had some older folks walking in front of us so it was a little slow, but not intolerable. I’ll be making the drive back here for sure.

The course in good shape.

This is the 1st time that I have played the course and I was impressed. By the conditions. It was very green. And the fairways were not rock hard like at some of the other local courses I have played.

Nice Course, Nice Greens, Horrible tee boxes

My wife and I made the 90 minute trip to play WildHawk as I've seen it many times and have looked it up, but never played it. Let me say that the staff was very friendly and welcoming (Shout out to Sergio and the Marshall at the first tee.). The course plays short, but you need to think through your tee to green strategy. This is NOT a Tee Em High and Let Em Fly course. The fairways and the greens were in pretty good shape given the recent rains and windstorms.

That said, the fair rating is given due to the conditions of the "Blue" tee boxes. They were in horrible shape, as if walked on by a herd of cattle. In addition, the ball was either above or below your feet on almost 80% of the tee boxes...Please take care of this!....and perhaps invest a little maintenance in your carts. Ours had torn seats...

You have a real opportunity to become a great destination golf outing with a little TLC.....best of luck....

Fun course

I like this course but I’m not going to lie. Today i was disappointed at how much debris was left in the course from the storm four days agai. I would have thought they’d have cleaned it up in preparation for the weekenders that pay more to play but they left a ton of fallen branches, sticks, leaves and such. I had to clear out the debris too many times. Still I like the layout and greens were in excellent condition.

Thanks for your comment. Yes WildHawk had a tremendous amount of debris from the wind storm. With hundreds of trees on the course it will take a few weeks to clean it all up. The maintenance crew has its regular daily duties to perform also but we'll get there.

Needs Drainage but still a good course

Let me start with, I like this course. In general it is a good moderately challenging course but also good for those that hook or slice a bit. However, playing after a rainstorm is not recommended. The course doesn’t seem to have good drainage so you play in sponge grass abs have a ton of mud balls. I wouldn’t play here again after it’s rains I would pick another course where the drainage seems to be better equipped to handle a lot of rain. Overall the course plays well, pace of play is good and the vibe is relaxed. Staff is always friendly and easy going.

Thanks for your comments. The course is still a bit wet from 2 inches of rain we just received. Once the sun comes out it'll dry quickly.
