Saddle Creek Golf Course, Copperopolis, CA

Saddle Creek Golf Course is located in: Copperopolis, CA

Phone: 800.611.7722

Website: http://www.saddlecreek.com

Course History:

This is a fairly new course that is part of a resort and residential area. It first opened in 1996 and was designed by Carter Moorish. This is a beautiful course that made excellent use of the surrounding countryside and it quickly became a very popular spot with locals.

The resort offers several stay and play packages and people come from all over the world to experience this course. The level of play is just challenging enough without being too intimidating for the novice player. The course has been voted the 8th best in California by Golf Week Magazine and has also won numerous other accolades.

What You Need to Know:

This is a traditional course, so it is best to wear a traditional golf shirt and slacks. Denim is not permitted on the course. You can register your tee time by calling the number above. Since this is a resort course, it can be very busy during the high travel season, so it is best to book ahead in order to reserve your spot.

We found the amenities to be top notch and the grill was absolutely terrific. It's easy to relax in the sumptuous club house and the staff was very friendly. Overall, this was a very enjoyable trip and we highly recommend it to anyone. The fees are actually quite low given the quality of the course and the natural beauty of the surrounding area makes for a truly elegant time, even at budget prices.

Playing Hints:

Water hazards are the number one issue with this course. You'll be dealing with them on nearly every hole and they range from small little ponds to enormous lakes. You'll need to steer clear of these and work on your accuracy to ensure that your drives don't end up in the drink.

Our favorite hole was the 11th, where you'll be driving across the water. It's a short par three, but you will need to work to get a par. The green is well protected with sand traps and it is no easy task to get your ball to land exactly where you want it. We also enjoyed the 18th hole. Even though there are plenty of traps situated on the fairway, it was just the right size to allow you enough room to make up for any past holes that drove your score down. You should be able to birdie this hole without difficulty.

Widgi Creek Golf Club, Bend, OR

Widgi Creek Golf Club is located in: Bend, OR

Phone: (541) 382-4449

Website: http://www.widgi.com/golf/hours.cfm

Course History:

This is a great place to stop if you will be in the Bend, OR area. We fell in love with this course and can't wait to go back. It is extremely beautiful and we have the time of our life playing the course. It has all the perfect elements that make a golf course great and it is well suited to many different types of players.

Golf Digest has named this among their Best Places to Play year after year, and it is easy to see why this course is so popular.

What You Need to Know:

You can book your tee time by calling the number listed above. This is a very friendly course and you won't have too worry about too many restrictions. The staff are very helpful, the clubhouse is idyllic and the food at the grill was out of this world. There are few courses that can combine all of these vital elements into one great experience, but Widgi Creek manages to do just that and then some.

Playing Hints:

While the course is not terribly difficult, you'll still need to bring your best game with you. Water hazards are plentiful here and the bunkers are positively cavernous. You'll want to do all that you can to avoid both. Accuracy really counts on this course and there is not a lot of room for error.

The sixth hole offers a great challenge. On the surface it looks like an easy par four, but that is anything but true. You'll be really pushing to get par on this hole, thanks to the location of the water hazard and the slope to the fairway. Stay to the right of the fairway to avoid the water and bunkers that are all along the left side of this hole. In addition, the green is raised, so you'll need to have a good chip shot to get anything close to par on this one.

Oak Valley Golf Course, Beaumont, CA

Oak Valley Golf Course, Beaumont, CAOak 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.

Phone: (951) 685-1440

Oak Quarry Golf Course, Riverside, CA

Website: http://www.oakquarry.com/golf/rates.html

Course History:

Oak Quarry Golf Course is a newer course that was opened to rave reviews in 2000. It was built by Dr. Gil Morgan/Schmidt Curley Designs, and quickly became one of the most popular courses in this area. The course is located in the Jurapa Mountains and offers a truly rugged beauty, challenging play and some great facilities. Although their rates are very reasonable, they do offer a special membership plan which we'll go into more detail about below.

What You Need to Know:

You can book your tee time by calling the number listed above. Although their website lists special deals on green fees, they do not have an online registration option at this time. Please note that the club does have a dress code. All players must wear collared shirts and appropriate attire. Denim is strictly prohibited and the management prefers soft spikes only.

We found that this club, even though it is public, had all the amenities and features of a private club. The restaurant was simply terrific and it was a great place to relax in after a tough round of golf. We liked the pro shop, and found that the staff was very helpful and the stock was great. A very wide variety of merchandise and brand names can be found there.

Playing Tips:

This is a great course that is very challenging but a lot of fun to play. You'll need to utilize the cart, especially if you're not in the best of shape. Mountain courses are always our favorites and this one was no exception. You'll be able to enjoy a truly great game while you're here.

The course is known for its changes in elevation, so you will need to work hard on long drives and accuracy. There are times when you really can't tell where you are going, so you will want to study the score card carefully before going out. You'll be dealing with multiple water hazards, as well as incredible rock formations and the natural terrain. This is a course that you really can't master with one round, but it's really fun to come back and try it again.

Whitehawk Ranch Golf Club, Lake Tahoe, CA

Whitehawk Ranch Golf Club, Lake Tahoe, CAWhitehawk 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.

Greenhorn Creek Golf Course, Angels Camp, CA

Greenhorn Creek Golf Course is located in: Angels Camp, CA

Phone: 888-736-5900

Website: http://www.greenhorncreek.com

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.

Cherry Island Golf Course, Elverta, CA

Cherry Island Golf Course is located in: Elverta, CA

Phone: 916-991-7293

Cherry Island Golf Course, Elverta, CA

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, Sonoma, CA

Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn Golf Course, Sonoma, CA 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.

Tustin Ranch Golf Club, Tustin, CA

Tustin Ranch Golf Club is located in: Tustin, CA

Phone: 714/730-1611

Website: http://www.tustinranchgolf.com/

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.

Glen Annie Golf Course, Santa Barbara, CA

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.
