This course has lots of water, and traps. and trees, some target holes, and distance from the back tees, that i never was good enough to play from. If you play from the appropriate tees i think you will have fun on this well maintained course. Greens were in really good shape,

This course is perfect for guys who like to walk and tote their bags. It is not perfectly flat but situated between the levy of the Sacramento River and Sacramento's International Airport. most of the undulations were man made.. Playing from the back tees can make this course very challenging as there are trees, sand, on all holes and water on several..I was impressed by the speed and condition of the greens, after the long hot summer we had this year.. This course gives the player who, plays from the correct tees, a chance to make par on every hole.. As well as penalizing for truly errant shots.

Wonderful scenic course with Lots of elevation changes, make many holes play longer that their yardage. big greens large traps, which tend to be wet coarse sand. It has always been a challenge, but not an unfair one.

lots of sand traps ( some of which need more sand). lots of undulations, plenty of water. Play from the appropriate tees and this course is fun. If you are a high handicapper, you will suffer playing from the blues or black tees.

How would the PGA play here? The caddies would have to be`Sherpas ,, I doubt the players could make the climbs..But in a cart with worn brakes it is a becomes a spectacular thrill. Gorgeous. !! Simply Gorgeous.!
Extreme elevation changes lush fairways tract through the forest .Plenty of traps, plenty of water and the huge well manicured greens provided many interesting putts. .. . Wonderful practice areas too. Take your A game. and share this with people you want to remember, cuz you won;t forget this place.

Greens in exceptional condition for this time of year. Fairways had some soft spots, Wet sand in some of the traps, which just tells me that are making sure they don't lose any of the course to the 100 degree heat we have been having the past 3 weeks.

Layout hasn't changed much in the last 45 years, Trees just got bigger. Fairways are in very good shape, . Greens were fast and true, but appear to be in some danger. . The large pond that can come into play on holes 4,5,6, and 8 looks worse than Clear Lake.. Broken pump?. Sand Traps need more sand (some were too hard to rake) which does effect the playability . This was never a very forgiving course. The 18th is still a great finishing hole, requiring a long well placed drive to have a chance to get over the stream in front of the green, I still love the course and enjoyed playing it , .

Hope your cart has strong motor and good brakes because this has lots of serious elevation changes. Don"t make the mistake of playing the back tees if you are not a low handicap player. Your lost ball count could be astronomical . It is beautiful , Challenging and fun course. Greens are fast and tough to read. Real big hitters probably won't use driver all that often but you will need to hit the shot as planned as it is unforgiving. Can i say exhilarating without losing my macho card ?? If you play well here it is..

I have loved this course for 45 years, but hadn't played it in the last 30 .(for years i played it in my mind at various driving ranges) . It is much the same as i remembered it, only the majestic Oaks that guard a couple of the greens are bigger . This course rarely punishes you for a well struck shot, but with OB's and trees it will make you pay for the bad ones. The were smooth and putted true, but were pretty slow and appear to be receiving treatment for minor black grass issues.
