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

Boggie

This is a good course for beginner to intermediate golfers. Not too much tall rough. The 16th and 18th holes are very interesting. Both have water. Course was in great shape except for the tee boxes , which could use a little work.

Easiest par 72 in area, dog friendly

I play Wildhawk quite a bit, and always enjoy myself. Last time I played, I was very upset because I booked online after clicking on a promo, and when I got to the course I was told that I needed to print it and bring it in to get that deal. I went back and looked after, and it shows in tiny print to get the coupon, but no place that you need it.

The course is flat, with a few challenges, but wide open fairways, and a couple of driveable par 4s. Everybody I know has there all time best round here, and that fact also makes it very popular, so rounds can be very long. 15th hole is one of my favorites. Only 250 over water, but a narrow green. Fun to go for it, but an easy par if you hit an iron off the tee 180. The dog friendly adds a star to any review in my book.

Great except for pace of play

We were stuck behind a five some. That's just not right. They were the last group of a tournament. My twosome was paired with another twosome where one just was not ready to play actual golf. Thankfully they played only nine holes. However all players were super nice which sort of makes up for the pace issue. The course itself was in great condition and good value if you get a promo deal.

Good Suprise

Did not know much about Wild Hawk because of my living in the Highway 80 corridor. Nice layout for the middle handicapper . Nice trees, some water,flat . Course has a country setting. Very happy with the staff,and ground personel .one who went out of his way to show me around. It was my first visit. I have played 18 courses in the Sacramento area in my 14 months here and have not been disappointed yet.

Love this course but

They are watering way too much. I understand that with the heat you don't want the grass to burn but there was so much standing water everywhere that it was as if we were playing in the winter. Course management needs to monitor the watering instead of just turning everything on for an extra 30 min a day.

On some holes water accumulates in the dips. But, I would rather have that than have dry crispy grass on the Hills

Nice Course

Have played this course a few times before. Saw a good deal on golfnow so thought I would play it again. It is a nice little course, fairways were in very good shape as were the greens and bunkers. It is not a hard course but has a lot of bunkers and some water. If you stay in the fairway and out of the rough you will probably have a good round. Had some tough pin placements today but it keeps you on your toes. I love the course and always seems to score well here but the pace of play was really bad, took 4 hours and 40 minutes. We were waiting on every hole which kind of ruins your rhythm. This course is always busy, but they have to speed things up if they want the people coming back. I love the course and will play it again but it is not at the top of my list to play it again any time soon. I do however recommend the course, golfers will enjoy it. I would also like to say that the staff were all very nice. The food is always pretty good here and with a good cold drink you can sit in or outside and watch what is happening on the 10th or 18th holes, the 18th is a very nice finishing hole.

I gave three stars for course condition because we have had a lot of rain recently and some fairways were a little soggy, which is expected. I highly recommend this course.
