Course History:

This course was designed by Ted Robinson and you'll easily feel as though you've been transported into paradise the minute you arrive. By far, one of the most visually stunning golf courses we have ever seen. The course is semi-private, but the public is allowed to play at certain times. We highly recommend making the trip to this course, since there are few courses like this that are available in the United States.

What You Need to Know:

This course has a pretty strict dress code, so please stick with traditional attire. They will enforce it, and appreciate the public's adherence to the rules. Tee times can be reserved online, or by calling the number listed above. We found the staff to be very helpful and you can even get a glimpse of the great pro shop online before you get there. The grill is definitely worth the trip and had far above average food.

Playing Hints:

This is course is all about the challenge and you'll find some of the holes may be a bit difficult, but still very fun. The fairways are rolling and the bunkers are certainly deep. Water hazards are not plentiful here, but you'll have plenty on your hands without them.

Our favorite hole was the eleventh and it is a doozy. Out of all of the few water hazards on the course, this is the most difficult. You'll be hopping in between small patches of fairway while you try to avoid the lake. Stick to the left on this hole and try to be as accurate as possible. If you are a good driver, aim right for the hole across the lake so you can bypass all of these little steps.

Diamond Oaks Golf Course is located in: Roseville, CA

Phone: 916-783-4947

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

Course History:

Ted Robinson designed this municipal course which is open to the public. It's combination of great rates and challenging play has made this one of the most popular courses in the area. It's a bit out of the way, but well worth the trip. The course opened in 1963 and is very popular to this day.

What You Need to Know:

You can register your tee time online or by phone. Since this is such an economical course it is usually quite busy especially on weekends. It's best to call ahead or reserve online so that you can lock in your spot.

Even though this is a municipal course there are plenty of amenities, and more than you would expect given their low prices. A PGA pro is on staff for lessons and numerous events are held here throughout the year. It's a fun course to play and although pros may not find it terribly challenging, it is friendly for players of all skill levels. The course is also home to the Roseville Golf Club and there are numerous benefits to becoming a member.

The website for the course often posts specials and you can learn more about the events that are held here every year. There are numerous leagues and clubs that call this course home and it's a great event course if you like to observe tournaments. You can also learn more about their membership passes and the other amenities offered to visitors of all skill levels.

Playing Hints:

There are only three main water hazards here and they aren't terribly difficult to master. You'll want to pay special attention to the lake on the seventh hole. If you stray too far right on the fairway, it's very easy to end up right in the middle of the lake.

The course is pretty straightforward and doesn't offer many sneaky tricks. There is a bit of a gentle dog leg on the first hole, so you'll want to keep to the left off of the tees. The fairways are a bit narrow so it's a good idea to try to keep your shots as accurate as possible. The sloping greens can be a bit of a challenge for novices, but overall this is a fun course that won't take too long to master.
