Course History:
French Camp RV Resort and Golf Course is a great little place located in Manteca, CA. If you're planning an RV trip or you just want to change up your game a bit, this is a great course to try. It's well suited for most players and novices should have a great chance at a really good store. Pros won't find it terribly challenging, but it does offer a fun game and the area is particularly beautiful. The staff are very helpful and the whole resort has much to offer. It's a great place to take the kids on your next vacation, or a great place just to get away for the weekend.
What You Need to Know:
This is a very laid back course, so you won't have to worry about the dress code so much. The fees are very reasonable and their site offers specials, so we recommend checking that often. You can reserve your tee times by calling the number listed above. One of the best parts about the whole resort was the shuttle service that will take you right from the course to the café - and it's worth the trip. They have a great mix of good old comfort food and once again, the prices are very low.
The pro shop was surprisingly well stocked and had much to offer, and you should definitely stop at the resort gift store for even more great items. Overall, we found that this was truly an enjoyable way to spend an afternoon. We would have liked to have stayed longer, and next time we plan to take the dog since they offer special dog runs to keep them busy while you're off having fun. A great little course in a terrific location.
Playing Hints:
This course isn't terribly difficult, but it is a lot of fun to play. Our favorite hole was the sixth hole which looked like it was going to be very easy and turned out to be a bit more of a challenge than we thought it would be. There are a lot of par threes on this course, so we recommend working on your short game and chip shots before you get here. You'll have plenty of chances to test your skills and they do offer a little practice area before you head out on the links.

Glen Annie Golf Course is located in Santa Barbara, CA
Phone: 805-968-6400
Website: http://www.glenanniegolf.com/main/index.php?name=Rates
Course History:
This is a truly stunning course that overlooks the channel islands and the bay. For those who enjoy a scenic course, it is hard to beat this one. The amenities here are absolutely some of the best in the area and this is considered to be one of the best and most challenging championship courses in this region. That said, although the course appeals to pros, novices should still be able to enjoy playing here. It may take a few times to master the course, but considering the view, it is well worth the time spent.
What You Need to Know:
By far, the club house at Glen Annie is one of the best ever built. Visitors come from miles around to enjoy it, even if they don't play golf. The structure has won numerous architectural awards and the inside is sumptuously furnished. You'll enjoy dining here after a tough round of golf or maybe stopping by just for fun.
The pro shop is completely stocked and offers gifts for all golfers. Many players like to take advantage of the patio after a round so they can relax and get a better view of their surroundings. This is one course that everyone should try to visit at least once in their lives.
This is a championship course and it is quite hilly, so we recommend taking advantage of the proffered cart. The course is currently running a special where you can get unlimited rounds of golf for a month, with a cart, for less than $300 a month and we highly recommend taking them up on this deal. For the money, this is a great deal.
Playing Hints:
While the course has only two water hazards and a few bunkers sprinkled around, it's the hills that make this a challenging round of play. There will be times when you won't even be able to see where you're aiming, but that is part of the fun of playing here.
Most of the holes are straightforward, but you will be dealing with a dogleg on holes four, ten, sixteen and fourteen. They are reasonably easy as long as you stick to the left on four and to the right on the others. You'll need to bring your top game for this one, as longer drivers will definitely have an advantage. A long drive off of most tees is essential as the rough is quite tough here and separates each fairway into well trimmed islands surrounded by a sea of grass.

The Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course is located in Lake Tahoe, CA
Phone: 888.881.8659
Website: http://www.edgewood-tahoe.com/
Course History:
This is a stunning course that first opened its doors in 1968, and has since gone on to receive numerous accolades and an ardent fan base. It was designed by George Fazio and contains a great mix of hazards and terrain that make it a challenging but fun course to play. The USGA holds several events here and the course also frequently hosts celebrity golfing events. The public is usually not allowed on the course to play, and we've noted below which dates are unavailable.
What You Need to Know:
You can book your tee time online or by phone and this is one of the few courses that will let you book six months in advance. Please note that singles cannot reserve a tee time but may play on standby notice. If you don't call to cancel your tee time, the course will charge you for the full amount, so make sure that if you can't make it that you do cancel with plenty of notice to avoid this.
This is a very nice course and we highly recommend wearing traditional golf attire. Their pro shop is literally one of the nicest throughout the area and you'll find plenty of gifts or things for yourself. The Golf Bar and Deck is incredible and well worth the trip out. The food is just about perfect. Overall, this is a course that has everything required for a memorable and fun golf outing.
Playing Hints:
As we mentioned above, this is a challenging course, but novices shouldn't feel too intimidated. The water hazards will require a bit of effort to surmount, but the key is definitely distance and accuracy. It's a good idea to perfect the long tee shot before going to this course to increase your chances of staying under par.
The terrain is certainly not level and there may be times that one wrong shot will put you where it's just about impossible to see the green. This is a challenging area for many players and requires a good iron game as well as being able to hit a long drive. The greens are fast and unpredictable, but this just makes it more fun. Chances are, you'll want to keep coming back to try to master this course.

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 11th 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.

About the Course -
Trump National Golf Club was designed to be the absolute pinnacle of the luxury golf experience, offering unmatched levels of service, exclusive amenities, a well stocked pro shop, renowned restaurant dining and unbeatable panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean. Trump National Golf Club was designed and created by none other than Donald J. Trump, who is an avid golfer and believes in creating world class courses and clubs that combine exceptional service with a keen sense of luxury. The Trump National Golf Course and Club are located on the Palos Verdes Peninsula which is thirty minutes or so from the downtown section of Los Angeles. Being located on the peninsula so far away from the big city allows this luxury golf course to offer peace, quiet and true enjoyment that most golf courses simply cannot offer.

Tips for Beginners -
This is a fairly straightforward course, with all pars under 5, and not many natural traps.

Boulder Creek Golf Course is located in Boulder Creek, CA
Phone: (831) 338-2121
Website: http://www.bouldercreekgolf.com/golf/proto/bouldercreekgolf/
Course History:
This incredibly beautiful course is located in a very remote area (we've included directions below) but it is well worth the trip. The course is challenging enough for a pro while not being to intimidating for a novice player. First opened in 1961, this became one of the top places to play golf in the area. The course is nestled amidst pine trees and redwoods and features some of the most beautiful lakes in California.
This is a full service course and you can even rent a condo on site if you fall in love with it. The pro shop is very well stocked and there are also tennis and swimming facilities so the whole family can enjoy the outing.
What You Need to Know:
You can book your tee time online or by calling the number listed above. We recommend checking their site often since they frequently post online only specials. Numerous events and tournaments are held throughout the year here and the course is popular. We recommend reserving your tee time well in advance to get the slot you want.
This is one of the few "No soft spike" facilities. Please wear metal spikes while playing this course. There is a dress code and all players are required to wear collared shirts. Please leave the denim and cutoffs at home.
The Ironwood Restaurant at the course features some of the highest rated cuisine in California and it is well worth the trip alone. Overall, this is a very family friendly course that packs high class amenities in a reasonably priced package.
Playing Hints:
This can be a tough course at times, thanks to its rolling terrain. We highly recommend getting a cart to make it a lot easier to traverse the course. If not, you'd better be good at hiking. The holes are all pretty straightforward, but there may be times when it is difficult to see the green. Long drives are necessary if you want to make the Par 65 a reality.
