Greenhorn Creek Golf Course is located in: Angels Camp, CA
Phone: 888-736-5900

Course History:
Robert Trent Jones II designed this truly remarkable course that is nestled in the Sierra Nevada foothills. This is truly a marvelous course both in terms of challenging play and sheer natural beauty. We really enjoyed the fact that the designer kept many of the natural elements of the course intact and were pleasantly surprised by our whole stay here. If you're looking for a fun but challenging course that features heart stopping beauty, this is definitely one to try.
What You Need to Know:
The course has a pretty strict dress code, and denim is forbidden. Collared shirts are a must for both men and women and the dress code also applies on the driving range. The course management also requests that all players use soft spikes. They can help you change them out at the pro shop if you don't have your own.
We really enjoyed the GPS carts at this course and the facilities were truly remarkable. This is by far one of the nicest kept courses we've seen in some time and the staff really will go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. The fees are quite low considering the level of service that you get and overall, we hated to leave! The grill has some terrific food and the club house is very nicely appointed.
You can register your tee time by calling the number listed above, and it's also a good idea to check their website for specials before you do. Although their fees aren't high, they do have some really great deals that they post every month.
Playing Hints:
You really won't be dealing with a lot of sand traps or water hazards, especially when compared to some courses, but that doesn't mean that this course isn't challenging. The natural terrain is your worst enemy here, as are the trees and rock walls that spring up all over the place. You'll really need to work on accuracy and power here. The fairways are narrow and tree lined and we found most of them to be quite long.
Our favorite hole was the 12th and it is a challenge to say the least. The green is situated above the fairway and it is very easy to go too long if you're not careful. On the plus side though, if you do hit it a little long and to the right, there is a natural slope down that will deposit your ball right back on the green.
