Course History:

 Green Tree Golf Course was first built in 1962, but has since undergone significant renovations. There are now two main courses, the Championship Course which is a full 18 holes and the Executive 9 Hole Course. This is a very traditional course in the best sense of the word and offers a challenging round of golf that isn’t too intimidating for novice players but still more than enough fun for professionals.

With just over 6300 yards, this Par 71 course features Bentgrass/Poa greens and gorgeous tree lined fairways. It’s considered one of the best courses in the area and with good reason.

What You Need to Know:

The club offers email specials on a regular basis and has numerous incentives on their website for players. You can call ahead to reserve your tee-time by using the number listed above. While they have no strict dress code, it’s best to stick with regular golf attire and a collared shirt.

The pro shop is very well stocked and they also offer lessons and fittings. We’ve included more information about that below. The course grill has some of the best food in the area and specializes in delicious burgers that are truly out of this world.

Playing Hints:

The main thing to remember with this course is accuracy. You’ll be dealing with several water hazards. The first hole is a prime example of this and you’ll need scuba gear if you take a wrong shot. Try to keep as close to the center of the fairway as possible.

The fourth hole has a water hazard right before the green. Since it’s a short par three, you’ll either want to really power it off the tee or hit a short shot off the tee and iron over. The eighth hole features a gentle dog leg to the right and yet another water hazard so you may want to go a little left on this one to avoid losing a shot.

Course History:

This course is very well maintained and offers a beautiful round of golf that is quiet and undisturbed. Serious players love this course since they can really concentrate on their game. With nearly 6700 yards, this Par 71 course is more than challenging but still fun for players of all skill levels. The main problem area for most players are the marshes, which we’ll get into below.

What You Need to Know:

This is a friendly course but there are some rules that you will need to follow. It’s best to wear soft spikes and appropriate golf attire, such as slacks and a collared shirt. Their website contains the entire document of their house rules and we recommend reading that before you visit the course.

The pro shop is incredibly well stocked and offers a wide selection of apparel and equipment. It’s a great place to go gift shopping for other golfers as well. Club fittings are offered and you can also get lessons at this course. The driving range opens early and they have some top notch practice facilities.

The club house is open from 6am to 8am and offers meals throughout the day. They also provide special event catering. The course is a favorite destination for many events and tournaments throughout the year, so you may want to call ahead to see what’s going on ahead of time. You can book your tee time by calling the number listed above. The course is also the home for the popular Empire Ranch Men’s Golf Club.

Playing Hints:

This is a fairly straightforward course, but due to the marshes, you’re going to want to be as accurate as possible. It’s really a nightmare to get stuck in one, so do all that you can to stay towards the center of the fairway. The first hole is an easy par four, but the second is a par three that is actually quite challenging.

You’ll want to save up your energy for the par 5 seventh hole since this one is a real killer. The back nine is just as challenging, but you’ll have a nice par three at the end where you can easily birdie if you get your tee shot right.

 Cordova Golf Course, Sacramento, CA

Website: http://www.cordovagc.com

Course History:

This course was first built in 1958 and became very popular due to its low rates and terrific play. They are very friendly to players of all skill levels and the prices really are incredibly reasonable for an 18 hole course. The pro shop is completely stocked the grill has some of the best food in the area.

What You Need to Know:

There are a few rules that you’ll need to know before you play here. First, it’s best to wear a collared shirt and please keep in mind that this is a soft spike course. Change out your metal spikes before arriving. They do not allow ice chests or any alcoholic beverages and they ask that all players respect the course. Course marshals frequently patrol the area, so it’s best to keep these rules in mind.

In addition, they also ask that only licensed drivers operate the golf carts. All players must have their own set of clubs. If you don’t have your own set, you can rent one from the pro shop. Tee times can be reserved by calling the number listed above. Check out their website for their frequent specials if you want to save even more money.

Playing Hints:

This is a nice straightforward course that is suitable for most players. Pros will find it challenging enough while novices won’t be too intimidated. The second hole is a bit tricky, but you can make up any lost ground on the short par three on the next hole. Most players are able to birdie this hole if they hit their tee shot right. The sixth hole is a challenging par five but if you keep to the center of the fairway and avoid the rough you should be ok. The last two holes are par threes that look easy, but make sure you hit your shots just hard enough to avoid going over the greens.
