Destination resort golf

One of the best courses in Northern California. Every hole is memorable. I’ve never had a slow round here- under 4 hours today.

A1 experience

Had a great time today at Copper Valley. Nice drive from the Sac area but worth it. 12:40pm on a weekday and I was lucky to have the course to myself.

Tee boxes, fairways, and greens were all very well maintained. Sand traps needed some TLC but COVID precautions still looming, I understand. Alot of elevated shots with great views. If you hit your driver straight and far, you will find yourself in scoring opportunities.

Carts were the best. Bluetooth speakers, USB charging ports, cooler, ball and club cleaner, and screen with: gps to the hole, scorecard, course map, etc.

Staff were great. Encouraged me not to rush to start and just enjoy myself. Definitely will be back.

Greens still sandy after several weeks + Extra charge to ride single

The greens are still sandy after several weeks.

The course if also charging extra if you want to ride single in the golf cart. This extra charge and the condition of the greens is not listed or mentioned in their booking site or in Teeoff.com

The previous week their charged me $25 to ride single, this week $15.

Most courses at not charging extra to ride single because of covid.

Last week they said they are having issues with their golf cart batteries and did not have enough.

Rude staff at Copper Valley, over charged for use of golf cart

I was charged an extra $25 to for a single cart rider. When I mentioned that the website did not say anything about incremental charge for a single cart rider I was told by the Shop Manager that the website does not have to say anything and that I don't have to play if I don't want to pay the extra charge.

While I understand that courses may have different rules, first these extra charges should be spelled out in the booking websites. And the Manager does not have to be rude about it.

Also, the green have been punched recently and the website did not said anything about that either.

A DIFFERENT VIEW OF THE VISTAS FROM EVERY HOLE

Never in my wildest dream did I have so much fun losing brand new $7.50 golf balls (Honma TW-X) is what I play $89.00 per dozen. Donated 6 of them to feed the fish, on various holes. I could play this course every day, but definitely with a 15 pack of Pinnacles.

I love a challenging course, and Copper Valley is like having a bag of popcorn, watching a darn good movie with the wife, and a bottle of $250.00 champagne. As a 15 handicap, I would probably play from the gold tees next time. My little 225 yd drive from the white tees, made me realize, I need to eat more beans!! However, I'll be back soon, when the fairways get nice and firm, and 20 yds of roll is in my favor..... Wonderful staff too!!

I dare you to find a course in better condition, from tee to green. Yes, they do have 110 ft greens, with tons of undulation. Well worth my 3 hr and 15 min drive from Rohnert Park, CA.
