Apple Mountain Golf Course, Camino, CA

Course History:

Although this is a resort golf course it is open to the public. This is definitely a majestic course that all players in the area should try at least once. It offers a challenging round of golf in a setting that is unmatched throughout the area. In fact, you may enjoy it so much you may even consider becoming a member of the club, where you can save extra money on greens fees and get more benefits.

What You Need to Know:

Since this is a semi private club it is best to wear a collared shirt and slacks while you're playing here. We also recommend soft spikes. Since the course is quite challenging, you'll also want to take advantage of their rental carts. You'll be thankful you did about halfway through.

The practice facilities here are worth the trip alone and the pro shop is a sight to behold with all the latest gear and apparel. When you're done with your round stop in the restaurant for a great meal and some relaxing conversation. This is truly a resort environment and a great place to get away from it all.

Playing Hints:

When the first hole is called the gold seeker, you know you're in it for the long haul. There is a water hazard right to the left of the green so make sure your approach shot is as accurate as possible. The third hole is a tough dog leg. You're going to want to keep to the middle of the fairway if possible. Go too far to the right and it will be impossible to get around the bend with any accuracy.

The seventh hole is lined with majestic trees that immediately lose their mystique once you get stuck behind them. Again, try to stick as close to the center of the fairway as you can. The twelfth hole features numerous slopes and can be difficult to master. You'll want to play a little to the right to make the most out of this one.

The challenge on the fifteenth hole is avoiding the trees and rough. The fairway is very narrow and curved and it will take some time to get this one down pat. Last but not least, the eighteenth hole is a bit of monster that will take some effort to best. Watch out for the slopes that can really eat up your score. Your best bet is to really let this one fly off the tee.

Table Mountain Golf Course, Oroville, CA

October 27th, 2008 — CA, Oroville, driving range, restaurant 

Table Mountain Golf Course, Oroville, CATable Mountain Golf Course is located in Oroville, CA

Phone: 530 533-3922

Website: http://www.tablemountaingolf.com/

Course History:

This is a terrific course if you don't like a lot of uphill walking or you simply want to get out in the fresh air for a fun game of golf. You won't find any hills here, but it is still a beautiful course that is challenging and fun. Table Mountain has been very popular since they opened, due to their low green fees and friendly staff and it's easy to see why people return here again and again. We really appreciated the quality of the facilities and it would be hard to find a course with a better practice facility in this area.

What You Need to Know:

The atmosphere at the course is very relaxed and it's a great place to bring young golfers. You'll be able to register your tee time by calling the number listed above, but we do recommend checking their website for specials before you do. You can save a lot of money on their already low fees.

The pro shop was terrific and the grill was certainly above par. The same atmosphere extends there and it is a great place to go after a round. The food was great and the prices were even better.

The practice facilities, as mentioned above, are simply divine. The driving range is spacious and the two putting greens will really get you prepared to go out on the course. It's a great place to go before you head out, or some even prefer just to get their practice in here.

Playing Hints:

Although you won't be dealing with hills, that doesn't mean the course is an easy one. Water hazards really make it fun and you'll be dealing with five. The sixteenth hole, or should we say island, is probably the most challenging hole on the course. You'll be surrounded by water on all sides, so make sure you adjust your shot so that it doesn't get pulled too much to either side.

There are also plenty of bunkers to deal with, and the fourth hole has more than its fair share. They happen to be right in the center of the fairway, so you'll want to go a little to the left for your tee shot to avoid them.
