Rancho Canada Golf Course

Rancho Canada Golf Course is located in: Carmel, CA

Phone: (800) 536-9459

Website: http://www.ranchocanada.com

Course History:

This course is actually two in one, with the East and West course. By far, the East Course is the more difficult one, but both are enjoyable to play. Novices may feel more comfortable starting out on the West Course until they get the hang of the course.

The course is extremely idyllic and most people find that a round played here is the perfect mini-getaway. The heart of the Carmel Valley is a spectacular place for a golf course and this is definitely one of the finest in the area.

What You Need to Know:

Although these courses are not particularly long, you will need a bit of skill to master them. However, the greens are well kept and the atmosphere is quite relaxing and fun. Although the course does not specifically state that they have a dress code, it is best to wear a collared shirt and trousers. We also recommend soft spikes.

The pro shop is completely stocked with all the latest gear, apparel and equipment and has something for just about everyone. The clubhouse offers absolutely divine meals and is a great place to relax after your round. They also offer catering and special events hosting, and it is a local favorite, even among non golfers.

Playing Hints:

As we mentioned previously, the key to mastering this course is accuracy and skill. It may take a few rounds before you get the hang of some of the more difficult holes, but overall, this course is well suited to professionals and amateurs alike. The East Course is a bit more difficult, so we recommend starting off on the West Course for your first round, unless you are looking for a challenge.

The West Course has a rating of 71.4 with a slope rating of 125. The Par 71 course is easily walkable and the course actually encourages this. The long par 6 hole is a great place to make up for lost ground and the seventeenth hole also offers players this opportunity. It's easy enough to birdie both holes if you keep to the center of the fairway and really hit it off the tee.

The Half Moon Bay golf links Ocean Course is located in: Half Moon Bay, CA in Ocean Colony

Phone: (650) 712-7043

Website: http://www.hmbogolflinks.com

Course History:

The Ocean course was opened in 1997 and has instantly become an area favorite. The older course can also be played if you prefer a little variety. The Ocean course was designed by Arthur Hills and offers challenging play that is suitable for all skill levels. The Par 72 course is open all year round and features more than 6500 yards of playable space. There is a fully stocked pro shop on the premises as well as a clubhouse. Lessons are also available. Tournaments are played here all through the year and you can also book your own special event. 

What You Need to Know:

Please note that you must cancel your tee time within 24 hours or the course will have to charge you the full fee. There is a dress code at this course and players must wear collared shirts. Denim is prohibited and the course asks that all players refrain from wearing metal spikes. Tee times can be reserved by calling the clubhouse or by reserving them online.

According to management, there are other restrictions about which you should be aware:

"Cart Policy - The Old Course: walking is not permitted. Carts are seasonally permitted onto the fairway at a 90 degree angle, no carts on par-threes. The Ocean course: walking is permitted. Carts are seasonally permitted onto the fairway at a 90 degree angle, except on the par-threes and holes 2, 14 and 16.

Pace of Play - In order to be fair to all players on a course at any one time, we have a set pace of play at 4.5 hours for 18 holes. Should a group be consistently out of position the group may be required to skip a hole(s) to regain proper position, for the enjoyment of the rest of the field."

Playing Hints:

Right off the bat you'll have to deal with one heck of a dog leg on the first hole. It's easy enough with the right approach, but you may want to use your long irons instead of a wood.

The ninth hole has a notorious bunker that you'll want to avoid. You may want to use your nine iron on your second shot to avoid falling prey to this monster.

The fourteenth hole is all uphill so be prepared to really let this one fly off the tee. Once you're at your second shot, try a wood to make it to the green for a birdie opportunity.

The seventeenth hole features a nice cliff, so it's recommended to iron out the tee shot and then carefully approach the green.

Oak Valley Golf Course is located in: Beaumont, CA

Phone: (951) 769-7200

Website: http://www.oakvalleygolf.com/pages.asp?pid=33

Course History:

This gorgeous golf course is home to several PGA events every year and it is easy to see why. It literally looks as though it was painted into the surroundings and you simply cannot find a more beautiful course in this area. If you're planning a trip to the Beaumont area, this is a course that you simply must play.

With just the right mix of terrain, this course is very challenging but always fun to play. It's easy to see why it achieved instant fame with locals and players from around the world.

What You Need to Know:

This is a very traditional course and they do have a dress code. Collared shirts are required, and appropriate pants or shorts are allowed. They do not allow denim in any form on the course and we do recommend soft spikes for this facility. You can register your tee time online or by calling the number listed above. They do carry soft spikes at the pro shop if you do not have them already.

Speaking of the pro shop, it is simply fantastic. We've seen a lot in our days, but this was one of the best stocked shops in the area. Very friendly service as well and a great place to buy gifts for the golfers on your list. The clubhouse was incomparable and worth the trip just for the food.

Playing Tips:

Since this is a challenging course, you'll need to bring your best game. There are not a lot of water hazards, only two, so you won't have to worry about that. However, the elevation changes are a whole other matter. Our favorite hole was the seventh hole. It looks easy, but it's anything but. You'll have a straight shot to the green from the tee, but in the middle, you'll be dealing with a lot of undulation. Try for a really strong tee shot and just keep aiming straight ahead.

Whitehawk Ranch Golf Club is located near Lake Tahoe, CA

Phone: 530-836-0394

Website: http://www.golfwhitehawk.com/golftoday.htm

Course History:

Dick Bailey designed this magnificent course that stretches out over nearly 7000 yards. It was carved into the Mohawk Valley and the natural terrain makes for a game that is challenging for all players but plenty of fun. Professionals may have a bit of an advantage, but this is certainly a course that is enjoyable for players of all skill levels.

What You Need to Know:

The staff at Whitehawk are incredibly friendly and the course is known as one of the nicest in the area. Tee times can be reserved by calling the number listed above. The prices are incredibly reasonable given the costs of most of the other courses in this area but they also have specials for residents. We recommend checking their website for specials before booking your time.

The fees include the use of a golf cart and we recommend taking them up on the offer. The terrain can be a bit challenging at times and it's nice to have the benefit of a cart at your disposal. They do ask that visitors refrain from bringing their own alcoholic beverages - but these can be purchased at the course.

There is a dress code for both men and women. Men are asked to wear collared shirts with sleeves and appropriate slacks. Shorts are allowed as long as they are knee length. Denim is allowed if it is in good shape and nicely pressed. Women must wear appropriate golfing shirts, and any skirts or shorts must be longer than mid-thigh.

Playing Hints:

Many of the fairways are sloped and it can be difficult to get a shot you're happy with on many holes. What seems like a great shot will be made a lot worse after the ball rolls down the hill. We recommend working on your long game as well as your accuracy to make the most of this course. When there is a slope, try to aim a little in the opposite direction so that you minimize the amount of roll.

The natural terrain is challenging and will require the use of all of your clubs. There are a few water hazards, but nothing that is terribly difficult to surmount. The bunkers however are quite challenging and they are sprinkled throughout the course. You'll want to do your best to avoid them since the sand is quite deep and nearly impossible to get out of.

Woodcreek Golf Club is located in: Roseville, CA

Phone: (916) 771-4662

Website: http://www.roseville.ca.us/parks/golf_roseville

Course History:

This championship course was designed by the celebrated Robert Muir Groves and is incredibly challenging and yet fun to play. Since the course opened in 1995 it became an instant hit and is the frequent site of tournaments throughout the year.

What You Need to Know:

This is really a full service golf course with a terrific grill, well stocked pro shop and great practice facilities. You can work on your drives well into the night thanks to their lit practice area and the prices are very reasonable. You can book a tee time online and they frequently post specials on their website. We recommend this option for even greater savings over their already low prices.

The course does not have a strict dress code, and proper shorts are allowed. We do however recommend a collared shirt and slacks unless the temperatures are really high.

Playing Hints:

The water hazards here are so tough you should probably know how to swim before starting your round. All kidding aside, this is a challenging course, but is possible to master. You may need a few rounds to get some of these holes down, but overall, it's a lot of fun to try.

The first hole has a nice dogleg so you'll want to go left first to get a clear shot to the green. The second hole is where you'll get your first introduction to the water hazards. The green is surrounded by a small lake, so it's best to take a short first shot and then iron on to the green from there. The third hole has a lake in the middle of the fairway. It's easy to end up smack in the middle unless you have a really long drive.

The fifth hole is possibly the most challenging one on the course. We recommend a short drive off the tee to avoid the water hazard. Then a short iron to get over staying a little to left. From there, you'll be faced with a dogleg to the right, and another water hazard by the green. Play this one safe to avoid ruining your score.

The back nine aren't much easier and the 18^th hole can be a real killer. Watch out for the lake to the right of the green!

Harding Park Golf Club is located in: San Francisco, CA

Phone:  (415)750-GOLF

Website: http://www.harding-park.com

Course History:

This is a municipal golf course that was opened in 1925. Since then, it has been one of the most popular courses in the area. With a par 72 and more than 6,400 yards of playing space it is suitable both for beginners and professionals. The course was designed by Chris Gray.  A dramatic redesign ending in 2005 with the hosting of the World Golf Championships.

What You Need to Know:

Harding Park offers the ability to reserve your tee time up to thirty days in advance. They have an automated system to reserve your time which is available at the phone number above. If you are not a resident, the regular rate will apply, however residents are given a discount if they produce a valid ID.

Golf lessons are offered at the course from several pros. This course will be the location for the President's Cup in 2009. Please visit their website for more information about this special event.

The clubhouse restaurant is incredible and serves everything from prime rib to special buffet style dinners. They begin serving breakfast at 7am and full menus can be downloaded from their website. The clubhouse is also available for special event catering.

Playing Hints:

Although the first hole starts off easy enough, by the second hole you'll be ready for a challenge. With fairway bunkers and a difficult approach, you'll want to do all you can to really power that first shot past these hazards.

The sixth hole is by far the hardest to master and will take every bit of strength and strategy to get it done. It is possible to birdie this hole if you take the right approach. Don't be fooled by the appearance of the green, this one is definitely deceptive.

Hole twelve is a par five that will give you a chance to make up for the more difficult holes you've already passed. With the right combination of clubs you can eagle this one or at the very least, birdie it.

Hole seventeen looks really easy, and at a par three, you wouldn't think it would be that hard. Just watch out for the prevailing winds which can really wreak havoc on your game.

The last hole is their signature hole and is a true test of your mettle. The only way to get around the dogleg is to risk the bunker, so aim carefully and watch out for the slope ahead of the green.

Cherry Island Golf Course is located in: Elverta, CA

Phone: 916-991-7293

Website: http://www.empiregolf.com/empire/cherryisland

Course History:

Robert Muir Graves, one of the most celebrated course archtitects today designed this course in 1990. It has become an area favorite with most golfers and offers just the right level of challenging play for golfers of all skill levels. The course is lush and scenic and is a great place to relax and get away from it all. It is tucked away, so we included directions on how to get to the course below.

What You Need to Know:

This is truly a full service golf course with a great grill, pro shop and lessons. The practice facility is terrific and offers numerous opportunities to improve on your game. This is a public course but we still recommend wearing appropriate golf attire.

You can register your tee time by calling the number above, but you may want to check out their website as they post frequent specials to save on their already reasonable green fees.

Playing Hints:

Water hazards are plentiful here and there are a few that are quite tricky. The first hole is clear of these but the sharp dog leg will definitely test your skills. The third, fourth, sixth and seventh holes all feature large lakes, so you'll want to try to be as accurate as possible on your tee shots.

The thirteenth hole is bisected by a creek, so you'll need to watch your tee shot here. Some players may prefer to hit it short and then iron over the creek to be on the safe side. The eighteenth hole is no gimme and meanders along with plenty of rough patches to keep you guessing. This one will take some time to master, but you should be able to birdie it with practice.This is a long course so we really recommend making use of a cart unless you are in tip top shape.

Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn Golf Course is located in Sonoma, CA

Phone: 877-289-7354

Website: http://www.fairmont.com/sonoma/Recreation/Golf/

Course History:

This is an incredibly idyllic course located in the middle of a resort. Even if you're not planning on staying, you should give this course a try. It was first designed by Sam Whiting in 1928 as part of the then Mission Inn. Throughout the course of history, ownership has changed hands, but the course has remained. In 2001 the course was privatized after being rejoined to the resort on the same location. The 7100 yard course was recently chosen as the season ending course for the PGA Champions Tour Season.

What You Need to Know:

There are some specific rules of play that you will need to know before visiting the course. Management states, "The Sonoma Golf Club adheres to a strict dress code. Collared golf shirts and slacks or golf shorts are required for men. Golf dresses, skirts, slacks or golf shorts and blouses or golf shirts are required for women. Tank tops, other athletic wear and denim are not permitted. Cellular phones are not allowed on the practice facility, in the golf shop, clubhouse or anywhere on the golf course."

In order to play you must make a reservation by calling the number listed above. Without this, you will not be able to go out on the course. The pro shop here is absolutely astounding and the lessons are incredibly popular. Kris Moe teaches throughout the year here and we've included their most recent rates for his special golf schools.

Playing Hints:

This is a championship course and it can be difficult at times. However, even novices can enjoy their round with a little patience. It's going to take a few times to get this one figured out, so go with the flow and remember to have fun.

The long par 5 off the second hole will get you started off right. With the right tee shot, you should be able to birdie this one. It's a good thing too since the holes just get tougher. Watch out for the 11^th hole it can be a bit tricky, and it's hard to make this par 3. You'll get another challenging par 5 on the sixteenth hole but you can use the last two to salvage your score after a tough round.

Phone: (925) 252-4080

Website: http://www.deltaviewgolfcourse.com

This course was originally a nine hole course that opened in 1937. The second nine was added on in 1991. The course stretches out over 6300 yards and is a common pick on Golf Digest's list of the top 25 courses in California. It is a very scenic course that offers enough of a challenge for professionals without overwhelming novices. The Par 71 course was designed by Robert Muir Graves, ASGCA and Dr. Allister McKenzi.

Overall, this is a very fun course that offers a relaxing round of golf while still having enough difficulty to be challenging.

What You Need to Know:

The course is rated at 70.7 and has a slope rating of 127 on rye grass. The driving range includes 40 tees and we've included their practice rates below. Lessons are available for all levels of players and this information is also included below.

Playing Hints:

The first seven holes are deceptively easy and may give you the impression that the course is a simple one. Hole eight should completely change your mind. The fairway slopes in both directions and there are hazards all the way to the green. Use your best aim and the right combination of clubs to get through this monster hole.
