Best 9 Hole Course In Sacramento Area

Despite the recent rainfall and wet conditions, Emerald Lakes has held its own by having well kept greens, great putting and chipping practice area, and good drainage.

For those who walk, it’s pretty noteworthy to say that you can still play in the middle of winter in February. 2024. I am very pleased with this course for the course management and affordability of play.

Rude is an understatement

Interacting with Randy, Cody and almost every other employee have been my worst experiences at any golf course I've ever been in my life. I'll be taking my son out of the operation 36 lessons immediately, I'm going somewhere else whether I get a refund or not. Professionalism is not part of the culture of this "golf course". We are new to the area and live a few minutes away, I was planning on keeping my son in lessons and practicing here indefinitely. It goes without saying myself and my family won't be returning.

Great 9 hole course

Love playing this course. Always tests my tee shots. Some narrow fairways and well placed water and bunkers. Would play there more often if it was closer to home.
