Castle Oaks Golf Club

The variety of holes and challenges make Castle Oaks a joy to play. There are a couple of short par fours, some quite long ones, a reachable par five and the others require three well played shots. Holes one and two are challenging, so get warmed up. And 17 and 18 are very tough so you won't make up any strokes there. You'll hit every club in your bag. The course is always in good shape except for the sand traps which need more sand and it needs to be sieved to remove pebbles.

I'd played the course before, but many years ago. The surrounding residential areas are all built in now, but don't really affect play.
I didn't remember all of the marshy areas and lakes. Some holes have hazards on both side of the driving areas, and some forced carries.
The course was in excellent condition, with no cart restrictions, which was surprising due to a lot of rain the previous few weeks. Most other courses were still "cart path only" at the time.

Great experience for all levels of play. Most holes are wide enough for a hacker like me, greens were very nice and well groomed. All the equipment was first rate and location was worth the extra drive .

I like the hot deal with Golfnow but when I checked in I felt like the lady in the proshop was really unhappy with me using golfnow.

Really nice course and just enough challenge for intermediate golfers. We will definitely come back to this course.

Every thing was going well then as we were finishing up on the 13th green this happened. A tournament was placed on the 14 tee block in front of us. a shotgun tournament was starting in front of us. HOW DOES THAT WORK!!!!!!!!!!!! Very disappointed with the pace of play for the rest of that round.

Course is in awesome condition, great price through Golf Now, well worth the drive.

Castle Oaks is a wonderful track with very interesting variety of holes and an easy 45 minutes from downtown Sacramento. While drought is affecting every course, have to say that the fairways and first cuts of rough are getting pretty ragged and uneven at Castle. Very little roll as a result and some poor lies. However, greens remain very good and true. Started playing here when it opened in early '90s; still love the place. P.S. Not the place where you get a lot of friendly interaction with shop staff, but a great place to play a fun golf course and the bar/grill look like a friendly community place. I just seldom stay because I'm driving a distance.

I have played there many time always a great
time,. Can't wait to go back

As my 1st time playing it had some challenges that were hard to understand. I paired up with other who tried to help as best they could, but some holes are blind and could not see the greens from the tees. I dropped at least 10 strokes as a result of not knowing the course. Overall it was fun.

Used cart - started behind a threesome of inexperienced young men who were INCREDIBLY slow. Course was lightly played however so jumped ahead of them and made up hole later. Heavy watering on course. Greens good to excellent. Starter was a bit snide I thought. Not usually the case at this course though. Fun, interesting course to play!

This is one of my favorite courses and definitely a must play. Great condition good birdie opportunities and good scenary.

With the exception of tournament players ahead of us slowing pace of play, the course is in great condition, considering drought and all.

I took advantage of the discounted rate offered for this day as I'd never seen it offered this low. Would play here more frequently if same discount were offered. It is quite an investment of time to drive to this location so lower rates help offset that.

Started the day with breakfast in the restraunt. Food and service was terrific. Course was in great shape and we finished 18 holes in 3 1/2 hours. Perfect Sunday.

I would recommend this course to anyone who likes a well maintained course , my hats off to the grounds crew great job

Love this course. Course is always in great shape except for the ball marks on the greens. NOBODY seems to care about fixing their ball marks. Myself and the guys I was playing with fixed two to three each on just about every green. Give the Marshall a ball mark tool and have him go around and start fixing ball marks. When he get's tired of it he will start informing everyone on proper golf etiquette.

very impressed with the condition of this course...greens were in great condition and fairways were also very nice! A couple of challenging holes but I really enjoyed this course. I can't wait to get back again!

some challenging holes other holes good scoring chances

The course was in great condition and the pace of play was excellent. The length of the course gives any handicap player there money worth.

What a beautiful course.
Well worth the short drive from Sacramento.
