The 18-hole par-72 Hills Course challenges golfers with an assortment of holes ranging from risk/reward par-5s to bombs-away par-4s, but it’s arguably the par-3s that reflect the character of this 6,853-yard track. Close scrutiny to the day’s pin sheet as well as sound course management are required to score well. The 18-hole par-72 Orchard Course imparts a feeling of openness as the layout unfolds over the rolling hills and natural wetlands common to this neck of Placer County, CA. Manicured fairways are framed by daunting hazards and pockets of pine, oak and redwood trees that add to the golf course’s aesthetic appeal as well as to the challenges.
