Pace of play

Course is nice for how cheap it is. Pace of play was very very dumb. 4 groups going off at the same exact time. I will probably go again but dang. So many new golfers just hitting into you as well. Be on the lookout!

Very nice course

Well maintained fairways and greens. Some challenging holes with narrow gateways and hazard in play. Island green #5 is always fun. Very good price and friendly staff. Two driving ranges, one carpet, one grass. Pace is slow sometimes. I will definitely recommend this course.

My golf game on Cesar Chavez Holiday ⛳️

Awesome fairways and irrigation systems during wet weather conditions! Best value in greater Sacramento. Great friendly staff and greens are kept clean and manicured!

This is a great 9 hole course

I always enjoy this 9 hole course. The course is always in excellent condition. It has challenging green that are typically fast for recreational standards, there is enough contour that the ability to read lines and judge speed are important, but not essential. You can just have fun laughing how far the ball rolls out if you get that wrong. Staff and course assistants are outstanding …

One of the better courses in the area.

It may just be a 9 hole but compared to some of the other courses in the Sacramento area it's quite well maintained. Pace of play can sometimes be a bit rough.

Great layout for Executive Course

Challenging layout for an "Executive" course. Water on 4 of 9 holes. Greens were in great shape, bunkers have actual sand similar to a CC course.
