Granite Bay Golf Club, Granite Bay, CA

Definitely one of the best courses in the Sacramento area. A nice layout, perfect greens and a fair test of golf. A must play in my opinion, however the green fees are steeper than most.

Easily the class of Northern Cal golf courses, right behind Olyhmpic Club. Course has hills, lots of sand, water in too many places, native grasses, deep rough, very subtle greens and sloped fairways. No gimicky holes, classic RTJones design. Lots of oaks throughout the course and no houses to hit! Back nine has a 141 slope with some memorable holes, especially the 212 yd par 3 #14. Hit over a ravine into the wind, two very deep bunkers along the right side. Hit from the lower tees uphill to a "blind" green. Its a real test of golf. Great clubhouse, bar and food service. Sand traps are being upgraded in 2008 much to the member's delight. This course will send you home mumbling! First class operation!
