Phone Number: 209-962- 8620
Website: http://www.pinemountainlake.com
Course History:
This gorgeous course was designed by William Bell and has been rated as a top course by Golf Digest. One look and you’ll know why it has received so many accolades. The area has more than 300 days of sun every year and the course offers a breathtaking view of the surrounding mountains. It’s a bit hilly, so we do recommend taking advantage of a cart.
What You Need to Know:
There is a dress code at Pine Mountain. Men are asked to wear collared shirts and appropriate trousers. Denim pants or shorts, swim trunks and sweats are not allowed. For women, tank tops are not allowed, and if a shirt is sleeveless, it must have 4″ wide straps. Denim pants and shorts are not allowed, but women may wear tee shirts on the course. In addition, short shorts are prohibited.
Tee times can be booked by calling the number listed above. We recommend reserving your slot a few days in advance since this is a popular course. Special guest rates are available, please check with the pro shop for more information.
Speaking of the pro shop it is very well stocked and the on site restaurant is fantastic. This is a terrific place to spend an afternoon. Lessons are available as well as special clinics throughout the year and the pros here are very helpful.
Playing Hints:
The holes here are very straightforward and the main issue are the trees. They line the fairways and in some cases, sit smack dab in the middle of the fairway. You’ll really need to work on having long accurate drives to get under par at this course. The level of play is suitable for pros or novices and although it can take some time to maste the course, it is well worth it.

June 25th, 2008 — CA, Dress code, Santa Barbara, William Bell, golf courses
Sandpiper Golf Course is located in Santa Barbara, CA
Phone: (805) 968-1541
Website: http://www.sandpipergolf.com
Course History:
This beautiful course was designed by William Bell and first opened to the public in 1972. It quickly became one of the most popular courses in Santa Barbara and has been a top rated course for many years. Most recently, Golf Digest named it one of the top twenty five golf courses in the United States.
The course stretches out over 7000 yards and has a rating of 74.5. This is a championship level course that has hosted many PGA and LPGA players but novices should not find it terribly intimidating.
What You Need to Know:
Tee times can be registered online or by calling the number listed above. Please note that this is a soft spike facility. All metal spikes must be changed out before arriving on the course. There is a dress code at this course as well and the management asks that all players and spectators abide by it. For men, a collared shirt with sleeves must be worn. Slacks are preferred, but shorts are allowed as long as they are at least knee length and no shorter.
For women, collared shirts are a must, but the rules are a little more relaxed when it comes to sleeves. Tank tops are not allowed, but a sleeveless shirt may be worn so long as the shoulders are covered. Golf shorts and skirts are allowed, but must not be shorter than mid thigh. Denim is prohibited for both sexes.
Reservations are available but must be made up to 60 days in advance. Please be advised that the course does have a 48 hour cancellation policy. If you fail to cancel within that time period, you will lose your fee.
If it fits your schedule be sure to take advantage of the very reasonable weekday twilight and super twilight rates.
Playing Hints:
The beautiful course is alongside the ocean, but you won’t have to worry too much about water hazards. The main trip up here are the numerous bunkers which can be found on every single hole. Most holes are straightforward, but quite long. The seventh hole is perhaps the toughest on the course. It features a sharp dogleg to the left and there is a nice big bunker in the middle of the fairway. It’s best to keep to the center on this one and go a little short off the tee. From there, you’ll have a clear view of the bunker and the curve.
The eighteenth hole features the one and only water hazard. You’ll be shooting across a large lake to make it to the green, so give it a good one off the tee. Just make sure to avoid the bunkers around the green. With practice, you can easily birdie this hole to save your score.

April 22nd, 2008 — CA, Fresno, William Bell, golf courses
Riverside Golf Course
Riverside Golf Course is located in: Fresno, CA
Phone: (559) 275-5900
Website: http://www.playriverside.com
Course History:
This gorgeous course was designed by William Bell and is considered to be one of the finest in this area. It was originally built in 1939 as a publics work project and quickly gained popularity throughout the years. They take pride in the fact that the course was built by the public for the public and the course features some of the lowest green fees that you’ll find in the area. Even though it’s not expensive to play here, the facilities are well in line with more prestigious and expensive courses.
What You Need to Know:
You can register your tee time online or by calling the clubhouse ahead of time. They offer frequent specials on their website, so it’s a good idea to keep checking back. The Golf Academy at the course is a great place to learn more about golf and even professionals get help on their swing. This is a favorite among locals and the training is really top notch. The pro shop is fully stocked and the clubhouse is a great place to relax after your game. Overall, this course combines great value with some really nice extras and a terrific round of golf.
Playing Hints:
Most of the holes are pretty straightforward and the course is well suited to both novices and professionals. The fourth hole is a great place to pick up a birdie, since it’s a straight shot off the tee and it’s a fairly easy hole to master. For the eighth hole, you’re going to want to hit the middle of the green if you can, to avoid having to deal with your ball drifting into the rough. This is a great par three and pros should not have a problem birdie-ing this hole either.
For the thirteenth hole, you are going to need to stay as close to the center of the fairway as you can. There is a 100 foot drop off to the left, so try hard to have an accurate shot off the tee. The fifteenth hole is a deceptively easy par three, but be advised that the wind on this hole is your main opponent. Last but not least, the eighteenth hole is a great place to get a birdie and salvage your score if necessary.
