Mace Meadow Golf Club is located in Pioneer, CA

Course History:
This beautiful mountain course is tucked away but it is well worth the trip. We've included directions below on how to reach this course, since it is a bit hard to find. It's well known among the locals as being one of the most beautiful courses in the area. Lined with majestic trees, the natural setting is simply tremendous and offers a great backdrop for this challenging but fun course.
What You Need to Know:
You can reserve your tee time by calling the number listed above or by reserving them online. We do recommend checking their website for specials before you call since they do list them frequently. They also offer a player's club that offers special emailed discounts and coupons. If you plan on playing here frequently, we highly recommend signing up. However, the regular fees are quite reasonable, even without discounts.
The course management does not specify a dress code, but we recommend traditional golf attire. The pro shop was well stocked and we enjoyed our time in the Meadows Restaurant after our round. They serve breakfast and lunch seven days a week as well as dinner four nights a week. Wednesday nights are all you can eat pasta nights, and it's a lot of fun for the whole family.
Playing Hints:
This is actually a pretty challenging course, thanks to the natural terrain. Right off the bat, you'll be dealing with a creek on the first hole. You're either going to have to hit it really hard off the tee or go a bit short to avoid it. Watch out for the 4th hole, since it is quite deceptive. Most of it is downhill, so you'll want to avoid over hitting your approach shot to avoid missing the green entirely.
The 6th hole is quite a challenge. You'll need to stay as far to the right as possible, since the fairway has a big slope to the left. It's tough to overcome once you're down there, so really do all that you can to keep to the right. The 15th hole is the true test on this course however. The fairway is completely lined with trees and it's all uphill, even the green is elevated.

Mace Meadows Golf Course is located in: Pioneer, CA

Course History:
This is a very nice course that surprised us. It's a rare gem tucked away in Pioneer, CA and although the prices would indicate that the course was on the lower end, we were positively shocked by the quality of the course, the helpfulness of the staff and the attention to detail. This is one of the best courses in the area and it is easy to see why it has become such a popular destination.
This is a mountain course in the Sierra foothills, and the views are astounding. With a course rating of 69.4, it's not terribly difficult for novices, and just about right for intermediate players.
What You Need to Know:
Although the atmosphere here is very laid back, we still recommend traditional attire. You can book your tee time in advance by calling the number above, but they do frequently post specials on their site so you may want to check there first. The pro shop is very well stocked and we were pleasantly surprised by the food at the clubhouse grill.
This is a very relaxing course to play on the natural beauty is inspiring. The designer did a fantastic job of keeping all the elements of the terrain and incorporating them into the course. There are a few hazards, but most players should be able to do quite well, provided they are careful on a few holes. The course record is 66 so give it a try and see if you can't beat it.
Playing Hints:
Since this is a mountain course, expect rolling hills and a lot of hard walking if you don't elect to go with a cart. The trees and the tiered greens are the biggest challenges here, and there are a few holes that will test your skills as a golfer. This is a course where you will be using just about every club in your bag, so come prepared.
Our favorite hole was the eleventh. It features a water hazard on both sides of the fairway, so watch your accuracy here. Aim for the center and you may even want to underhit it a little if accuracy is not a strong point for you. Your next shot will be straight uphill, but watch out for the bunker by the green. You can birdie this one, but it won't be easy.
