May 16th, 2008 — CA, Davis, enforce pace of play, golf courses, restaurant
Wildhorse Golf Club is located in: Davis, CA
Phone: (530) 753-4900
Website: http://www.wildhorsegolfclub.com
Course History:
This course first opened in 1999 and is considered to be one of the most ecologically friendly courses in the area. It is known to locals as the public course with private amenities and a round here is like a mini vacation. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful and you’ll enjoy a nice, peaceful round of golf.
What You Need to Know:
Because 40 acres of the 170 acre compound is set aside for ecology purposes, the course asks that you respect this area and not enter. They do enforce a pace of play rule, so you’ll need to keep things moving along. This is the main reason that the course does not allow five-somes.
Although the course has some challenging elements, it is well suited to players of all skill levels. The aforementioned amenities include a well stocked pro shop, and the Wildhorse Grill where you can find some of the best food in the entire region. They offer lunch and breakfast every day and are also a favorite for catering special events.
You can book your tee time by calling the number above, but be sure to check back to their site from time to time as they do post specials on a frequent basis.
Playing Hints:
This is a course that has some serious water hazards on nearly every hole, but if you keep to the center of the fairways you should be fine in most cases. However that won’t be easy since the fairways are incredibly narrow. You’ll really want to work on your accuracy here to get the best results.
The fourth hole looks easy enough, but watch out for the creek that bisects the fairway and the green. You’ll want to try to get over it with your first shot if possible. If not, take the easy way out and use an iron off the tee and your seven or nine iron to get to the green. The back nine plays much the same way with numerous water obstacles, but you’ll also be dealing with some serious doglegs here, so save up your energy!

May 14th, 2008 — Alistair McKenzie, CA, Sacramento, enforce pace of play, golf courses
Haggin Oaks Golf Course is located in: Sacramento, CA
Phone: 916-481-GOLF
Website: http://www.hagginoaks.com/
Course History:
Haggin Oaks is known as the one of the oldest and most respected courses in the Bay Area. Numerous PGA events have been held here since it opened in 1932 and it has seen numerous champions find their way to victory. The two courses are well appointed and cared for and for the money, this is definitely one of the best values in the region.
What You Need to Know:
You can register your tee time online or by calling ahead to the phone number listed above. Although they don’t specifically state that there is a dress code, you are best served by wearing a collared shirt and trousers. This is a very traditional course, and you’ll need to make sure that you observe their rules, replace your divots and keep your playing speed up.
Playing Hints:
Although there are two courses at this location, we’re going to focus on the 18 hole Alistair McKenzie course for this review. The nine hole course is terrific if you’re looking for a quick but challenging game. For the 18 holes, you really won’t have to deal with many water hazards. There is one lake but it is far enough away from the fairways that it shouldn’t pose any problems for anyone. The first five holes are very straightforward, but be prepared for the severe dog leg on the sixth hole. You’ll want to go left and then right with your second shot.
The remainder of the holes are very straightforward and although they are a little long, most players should not have any difficulty mastering them.

May 6th, 2008 — Antelope, CA, enforce pace of play, golf courses, members only
Antelope Green Golf Course is located in: Antelope, CA
Phone: (916)334-5764
Website: http://www.antelopegreensgolf.com
Course History:
This beautiful course is tucked away in Antelope, CA (we’ve included directions below) and it is definitely one that area players need to visit at least once. It offers a rare combination of absolute beauty with a great challenge for players of all skill levels. Professionals find that it offers just the right touch of a challenge while novices don’t feel overwhelmed. It may take a few tries to master this one, but it’s well worth the time.
What You Need to Know:
The course does ask that players observe the usual dress code by wearing a collared shirt and slacks. They do also enforce a pace of play rule, so you won’t want to dilly-dally on the course. They have a golfer’s creed that we recommend reviewing before you visit the course to see the rest of their regulations.
The club does have a membership policy, but you can find their application right on their site. It’s easy enough to join and you get plenty of benefits in exchange. The course is home to numerous events and tournaments throughout the year and it’s a great place to spend a relaxing afternoon. The pro shop is well stocked and the club house is a favorite destination for many.
Playing Hints:
The first hole is a deceptive par three that looks easy until you get into the center of it. You’re going to want to carefully place your drive to get the best score. The majority of this course is made up of challenging par threes that will make it difficult to get par unless you are very careful. The name of the game is definitely accuracy when you are playing this course.
The par fours are great places to try to make up your score. You’ll have plenty of chances for a birdie, especially on holes eight, nine and eleven. These are great places to make up for any damage that was done on the front nine. For the back nine, you’ll be dealing with even more par threes, so don’t lose your edge. Pay special attention to the eighteenth hole here, it is a real killer.
