Davis Golf Course is a small, sparkling jewel in the crown of Golf Courses in the Sacramento Valley. It is not a long tedious monster like some of the more recently developed courses have turned out to be. Yet, it offers those looking to "have fun" playing golf that exact opportunity. Its 4900 yards for men and 4400 for women belie its real difficulty. Yardages notwithstanding, it offers a challenge to some of the best of golfers, while still letting the beginner, senior, student, and women have a chance to have fun playing the game.

Par for the course is 67. From the back tees the course plays to 4953 yards. From the forward tees the course measures 4428 yards. The longest hole on the course is # 18, a par-4 that plays to 389 yards. The shortest hole on the course is # 7, a par-3 that plays to 121 yards from the back tees.

Watch out for # 18, a 389 yard par-4 challenge and the #1 handicap hole on the course. The easiest hole at Davis Golf Course is # 9, a 237 yard par-4.

Davis Golf Course's challenges, while not including its length, do include out-of-bounds left on every hole. Also, there is water in play on 15 of 18 holes. If that's not enough, there's three holes with out-of-bounds on both left and right, and most fairways are considered rather narrow. All the greens are smallish, raised dishes (except one) with plenty of opportunity for rather sever breaking putts. Subtle breaking putts also seem to arise quite often
