Slow Play

A normal round on the weekends will take on average 5 - 5.5 hours. They put two 5 somes in front of us and the marshals didn’t do anything to get them to move quicker. Apparently one of them was getting married and told our group who was playing behind them that they didn’t care if they played slow or not.

The pro shop should never let 5 somes out on weekends!

Required to share a cart with a stranger

When I checked in with the starter he informed me that because there were already 2 carts out for the foursome that I would have to ride with one of the unknown golfers. Masks were required to enter the proshop yet Ancil Hoffman also has the requirement to share carts with strangers. The Starter said that I should keep socially distant on the course, which when I said that's impossible while sharing a cart, he just shrugged his shoulders. Amazing that this Sacramento County run course does not seem to be bothered that it has operating practices which are in violation with the intent of a mask mandate for Sacramento County and should be subject to a lawsuit.

A nice easy course tucked ina Park setting

This course was fun but not super challenging.Me and my wife enjoyed it though as its tucked in a park like setting and has planty of trees to hide under from the sun,slight breeze so it was very comfortable even though it was in the 90's.A bit off the beaten path but another reason it was enjoyable,pace of play was decent as its not a very hard course.

Still Grand

This is one of the great old munis, and I make a point of playing here when in town. The course shows some wear from frequent play and likely a dry winter but the greens are excellent for all that. There was a Marshall and a cart girl so what more can you ask.

Despite heavy play, course is in relatively good shape. Greens are a bit slow, but easy to read.
