Squaw Valley Golf Course - Apache Links Course
Rating Snapshot
About
The original Squaw Valley course, Apache Links, opened in 1992–a Jeff Brauer design that is open on the front and more densely wooded on the back. Brauer’s work involved bringing in dirt to provide some mounding to the flat terrain, and he placed the course along a scenic creek that comes into play, mostly on the back.
No. 9 is the best hole on the front because of its split fairway. Macho men can go for the green by aiming over the lake–otherwise it plays a pedestrian 362 yards if you choose the left side, where it doglegs around the lake.
On the back, Nos. 15 and 16 are back-to-back par 4s that you’ll be glad to get out of the way. The 15th rolls 462 yards and doglegs right, requiring a tee shot over the creek. The long approach is especially challenging due to the long row of trees at the corner of the green. Hole 16 features an elevated green above Squaw Creek. Play for position off the tee because the hole is not long.

Great Course for Great Price
Played the Links at Squaw Valley. Great course. Great price.
Nice Course
The course was in very good condition. Greens were true, sand was in good shape, as were the fairways. We teed off as a twosome around noon, and completed our round in 3 1/2 hours. I was leary after reading no beverage cart, but there were several locations with free cold bottled water in ice chests, and they do have a grill. I will definitely play Squaw Valley again.
Thank you for the 5 star review! We are excited to have you back in the future for another round!
Great Course
Great course for the money. Fairways and greens are large and well kept. Look forward to going again.
Glad to hear it! Thanks for the review and we are looking forward to having you back!
Franchott

Great course
Course is always in fantastic shape. Greens were perfect.

worth the travel time
The course has been well kept and green. The greens are in great condition and are not lightening fast. I am sure anyone who plays this course will be happy he or she did.
Thank you for your 5 star review, David! We appreciate your feedback letting other golfers know what to expect from our course. Come back and play again soon!
Great Course vs Value.
Even after a week of rain the course was in great shape. We didn't wait at all, staff extremely friendly, course was full of character, especially back 9 going back and forth across the creek. Only complaint is the amenities, no gps on carts, nothing special about food, nothing special about dining area in the clubhouse. The pro shop sort of blends into the dining area. Overall there aren't any complaints about the course. And for the price, it's one of the best. Will definitely be back.
Thank you so much for the great review and 5-Stars! We are so happy you had a great time even after so much rain. Please come back and see us again as we would love to have you back!
Very nice layout. Wide fairways.
Well worth the drive. Beautiful course with country setting. Large practice greens and nice driving range. Fairly easy course. Fairways are wide and greens are consistent. Would recommend this course to everyone and would make the drive to play again myself.
Thank you doncoen for your review and feedback of Squaw Valley Golf Course. We are so happy you had such a great time and were able to take in all the golf course had to offer. Please come back and see us again very soon!

Never had a problem out here. Probably never will.
This would be the sixth time I've played out here. Never had a problem with the staff, pro shop, or course. Always in great shape, I can tell the course staff takes a lot of pride in this 36 hole course.

Squaw Valley One of the Best
I recommend Squaw Valley Links and Lakes course both, they are the best in this area without a doubt. I love playing there.
Thank you estesgolf for your review and feedback. We appreciate the recommendation to other golfers in the area and hope that you will come back and visit us again soon.
Great use of land
Rolling slopes, well placed lakes, sizeable greens all made for a character course that was very enjoyable. I can't wait to play it again as well as the Apache Links course also at Squaw Valley.

Two different nines
First time on the Apache Links. Front nine fairly easy layout although the wind can create some havoc. Back nine totally different, trees, water tighter fairways, some elevation changes. Overall though had a great time, fun to play.

Thank you Chet for your review and great feedback. We love to here that you had a great experience and please come back and see us again.
Awesome!!!
There is a reason I drive an hour to this course and play it more than any other course during the year! The layout is fantastic with a variety of holes - design and difficulty. Very few houses around the course. Conditions and pace of play are great. The greens were very fast. And Duff, Steve, and Stuart do a great job of making you feel welcome.
Thank you very much for the review and feedback of Squaw Valley Golf Course. We are pleased you take the long drive to golf with us. We hope we can always meet your expectations time and time again. Please come back and see us again soon!
This course is better than the Lakes
If you have a choice when playing at Squaw Valley, pick the Links course. It is a more scenic course, play is a little more challenging, and seems to move at a better pace.
Thank you Leroy for your review and feedback of Squaw Valley Golf Course. We appreciate you taking the time to give us your comments and we love you enjoyed the links course. Please come back and see us again soon!
For winter conditions it was great
This is the 2nd time to play here. It is very much worth the trip from Waco. They take great care of this course as if it was a jewel.
Thank you Bobbybcnu for your review and feedback of Squaw Valley Golf Course. We are so grateful for you taking the time for sharing your comments.
