Winchester Country Club

As a new person to the area I was looking forward to playing a really nice golf course. Winchester country club fit that bill nicely. Overall the course was in good condition. The greens were smooth and quick which I like and the fairways were accepting and wide. Just because of timing, I was put out as a single in between a women's group and a men's group and though My round was completed in just over 4 hours, I was still waiting on almost every shot. Overall, I would be happy to return and certainly to recommend the course to anybody else.

Course is nice.. but for 125$ a 5 and 1/2hr round is un exceptible... also had to wait 30min past tee time to tee off.. so actually 6hrs... longest round of golf I've ever had.. for that much$ I have expectations!

Great course! Tee boxes, fairways and greens maintained very well. Finished in under 4 hours which was nice. Greens were very fast but consistent.

I’ve play to many golf courses, This is one of the best so far, I was able to star my round 15 minutes early thanks to the stater, first time playing this course, it is in good condition, unfortunately was cart path only which makes the rounds longer to play other then that everything was good, I will come back since is only an hour drive and I’ll shoot Par or better from the tips if my game is on lol.

What a treat. Winchester is such a great course with a challenging layout. So many beautiful holes that are just visibly different than every other course in the Sacramento area. The course was in good shape and the pace of play was great!

This must be one of the nicest golf courses in Northern California. Hardly anyone on the course, conditions were perfect and every hole presents a fresh challenge. A wonderful day of golf.

Excellent course. Well designed with some challenging shots and well maintained improvements.

Great course. Challenging, but fair. Greens were firm and rolled great, but some of the slopes are extremely exaggerated so making sure you are below the hole is key.

I have fond memories of playing here in 2013 and wanted to play this private course again. The foothills of the Sierra Nevada's are a fabulous setting for any golf course and Robert Trent Jones did a magnificent job of utilizing this rolling landscape to create Winchester Country Club.

Spent a full hour on the driving range and practice putting green. The starter had me out at my scheduled time. There are plenty of options for golfers off the tee boxes and felt I would do OK playing the Blue/White combo's which stretched out to 6063 yds...perfect.

The opening hole calls for a partially blind tee shot over a rise which will leave you a slightly downhill approach shot into a small green protected by a wicked false front up the left side. A fair test for an opening hole, but it only gets better.

Most of the fairways are framed by tall pine and mature oak trees. The numerous elevation changes, dog leg lefts and rights and brilliant white sand bunkers placed in all the right spots. There are a few water hazards scattered throughout to remind you to keep you on your toes. The greens were as fast as ever and asked for your full attention regarding line and pace. Putts rolled exactly where they were directed.
Throughout the property you have spectacular views.

There are a number of fun and memorable holes that include 3, 7, 10, 14, 15 and 18. It would be pretty hard not to enjoy your round at Winchester Country Club.

Very interesting excellent course to play.Views spectacular and the layout beautifully carved into the terrain.I will definitely play again when I return from CT.If you’re up for a challenge and a distinctly different golf course this is it.

Of all of the Northern CA golf courses this one is set up to challenge and never be boring. Golf all year round. The greens were in great condition, traps very wet due to all of the recent rains. After golfing here most other courses are easier. It does eat golf balls as there aren't parallel fairways. Off the fairway drives are GONE. Putting is a challenge with undulations but the greens are in great shape. Very nice members and staff.

The word slick would describe this place right now: Greens, slippery slick, awesome! Around greens, not so slick, if you miss a green the ball will be plugged or in a bad lie, messy in fact and needs attention; hydro seed, grass, or just leave it dry so we can putt up the rough slopes. Too wet.
That's the only negative, Sand is fine, tees are a bit wet but ok, fairways a bit wet but ok.

You cannot fake it out here and lay up and expect to save par. You have to go at pins. One of the funner tests of accuracy in the valley, as being below hole is very important on most holes, crucial on 1 and 18 which are easy driving holes but tough greens! Great set up of holes. Wonderful views, great golf course. Hole 10 is something else.

Would be five stars if not so wet, heat is one thing, not having the grass is another. Too pricey for conditions! You cant water dirt and expect it to grow. Hydro seed is the only fix to those problems around the greens, then water it before it dries overnight! Then charge what you want for your product. At the grocery store, Do you buy the wilted goods? Nope. You'd expect a deal, 30%, 50% off.
I see the rates posted for the weeks ahead and the course is at full retail $115 or so when course is worth a $55 premium. That's what Cinnabar, Poppy, Bayonet/Blackhorse charge. Down the street at Darkhorse its $30.
Too much $ charged here, but a remarkable course.

Took my husband for Father's day!
We were a twosome and able to play just the 2 of us!

Amazing place and course. Didn’t like getting bumped by members 20 minutes but it’s in the confirmation that it’s possible, so....
Greens were bumpy maybe should have been rolled again?
5 + hour pace of play so not good for golf but frankly the surroundings are so amazing you are just in awe.
A must play in California!!

Played here multiple times but not in the last few years. Perfect day, course and greens were in excellent condition. Well manicured as always,
sand traps were perfect also and pace of play was less than 4 hours, hardly any one on the course. Staff was friendly and helpful. Highly recommend playing it.
