simply the best 9 hole course in N. California

Played Black Oak three times and each time it gets better. Not exceptionally difficult, but it will challenge even the best golfers and walking it is recommended. Staff is friendly and the conditions are always good. The 8 dollar rate on the weekends is amazing and we never had to wait.....done in just under 2 hours and it didn't seem that long. Go to Auburn Ale House after and in the summer check out the Speedway Races at the fairgrounds....

Excellent value

I live about 2 miles from it and have played it more than any course. It is an excellent course that isn't easy or boring because it's a 9 hole course. I've been told it's actually the hardest 9 hole course in Northern Calif.

Relaxing day

Black Oak is a relatively short course with lots of dog-leg lefts. The greens are well kept and not flat. A 2 put is not unusual. The mild weather and ample amount of shade trees make it a beautiful place to meet friends for a relaxing couple hours in the morning or afternoon.

Mike and Debs golf game

We arrived early enough to hit some practise balls, the staff was pleasant and efficient. Love the flag on the first hole to let others know you are still on the hole. Beautiful surroundings and a full place to play. We will return. Golf now saved us about 12 dollars!

Great course for a quick 9

Played 9 holes in under 2 hours. Course was well maintained and the greens were excellent. Could have had less goose leavings on the course, but that seems to be a problem with a lot of courses these days. Great value for the price. Beautiful setting in foothill oaks.

This is a fun course, and woman friendly.

This is one of our favorite 9 hole courses. As you would expect at this elevation your in a forest setting w/feathered wildlife, and very peaceful. Easy to walk it if you would like w/an interesting raising & lowering of the flag for your blind second shot off the first hole. Woman friendly and a truly fun course.

always fun

Great little nine hole course. Staff is always very friendly and helpful. Can play a bit slow because some of the regulars go off as fivesomes and don't keep up, but that is not usual. Out of bounds on every hole. Overall very nice.

Best 9 hole track in the Sacramento area

Staff -friendly
Course - good shape, greens moderately fast
Layout - unlike other 9 hole courses this is a full par 36. Playing from different tee boxes (white/blue) changes the layout if you want to play 18 holes.
