Course seems like it could be really great. Just got finished golfing there and they booked a 4 pack in front of us, then myself which was two and then a single behind us with a four behind them. So I don't mind waiting and we are friendly so we ended up teaming up with single behind us to help speed things up. Well the course referee named joe supposedly saw my partner getting his ball out of brush while waiting for the players in front of us to get out of range so he came down screaming using f word telling usthat we are holding up everyone, mind you we could not hit cause the people in front of us. Then when we explain he proceeds to argue and and yell. Anyways our 18 hole game ended at nine because it ruined the day. Management didn't really seem to care. Don't waste money. Saddle creek always seems polite and nice.
Not worth $100
Charged us$100
Greens extremely pocked. Fast and bumpy. Not worth the fee.
A scenic neighborhood course at the foot of the Sierras
For a course that winds through an sprawling neighborhood, Greenhorn Creek sure is scenic and pleasantly peaceful.
There are some truly remote spots where there are no houses to interrupt the stunning views of the foothills of the Sierras - notably the par 3s at 13 and 15.
The front side is great for scoring. Two of the three par 5s - holes 4 and 7 - are short from the blues (both under 481 yards) and ripe for eagles and birdies. The fairways shrink on the tighter, more demanding back nine.
The restaurant in the clubhouse is excellent, so stop for a bite after the round. The prime rib special and live music packs in the crowds for a nice ambiance on the weekends.
great place, coming back in march 2016
Played this course last year, by far it was a great experience. Eagles a par 5, had a chance for another on 18 bit it didnt go my way walked away with a birdie though. Heading back up in march from Fresno Ca cant wait.
Great course.
Great course to play very well maintained. Moderate front. Gets more challenging in the back.
Great course.
The course was beautiful and challenging, fairways pretty narrow (which I like).
Had a great time, was worth the two hour ride from Woodland.
the course was in great shape and the atmosphere was great!
we thoroughly enjoyed our day and will play at Greenhorn again. the Golfnow price was as excellent value.
A real hidden gem.
The course itself is very well maintained, and fairly challenging. Unlike other golf communities, the fairways are not completely surrounded by homes, instead there is a very spacious feel throughout the entire course. Wide fairways lead your eyes to a beautiful mountain backdrop, and the greens are in near perfect condition. It's very evident that the members who play frequently take a lot of pride in keeping their course pristine. My only recommendation to someone who has never played, is to play when the temperature is below 80. The mountains shield you from the wind, but the heat can quickly overwhelm older players without a constant breeze. Its definitely going to be my preferred fall time course.
excellent condition
Course was in great shape not even a dead patch of grass in the fairway
Fairways and greens still recovering from aeration maintenance.
The overall layout of the golf course is interesting with dogleg left and right holes with elevation changes. I could not get a sense of the true conditions of the course since it was still recovering from aeration maintenance from 3 1/2 weeks prior. Pro shop staff was friendly.
Great course and well layed out
Long travel from Bay Area but worth it if you can stay overnight. Course was not busy after noon so there was no pressure from other golfers. Back 9 was definitely harder than the front. Weather was perfect and really enjoyed this course. Condition was excellent.
Everything is good at Greenhorn. One of my favorite places to play. Can't wait to get back.
