BIG CHANGES IN THIS COURSE!
In January 2012 'Morton Golf' took over the total course maintenance from the City of Sacramento. The results: new mowers and course maintenance machines. New employees imported that have lots of experience. VAST improvement in course conditions in just two months. Greens are smoother and faster. For the first time in 18 years, there is fluffy and playable SAND in all of the bunkers. I hit 5 bunker shots today that were true bunker shots! Probably saved me 4 strokes. What we HAD was hard-packed sandy clay in the bunkers that played like hardpan. HUGE improvement. Even better, there are TWO Marshalls out on the course who are there to ensure a pace of 4:30 or better. Our round was 4:10 - a great pace for a fun round. I'm very impressed with the new changes.
Would travel: 30-60 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
