I played here today. First time ever playing this course as it was built in 1999 and I left Sacramento many years before that. I found the course to be intersting to say the least. Course in Davis off Hwy 113 and road 29 and Pole road. In speaking with the cart manager he tells me the course is owned by a local family group and they are the 5th owners. The course is an intersting design combining moguls, water, large carry areas and very rarely do you have a level lie. Holes # 15 and 18 provide a huge challenge with very large carries required for the 2nd (more likely a 3rd) after your drive, unless you are a long hitter. The course is just coming around after much rain in the area and one can see that maintenance was delayed but is frantically catching up. Also the course is greening up but needs time to fully fill in and all the beautiful trees to come into bloom. Right now it looks a little stark. I had no tee box issues. Fairways while still filling in did provide a good measure of decent lies and some even excellent rollout. Many of them are below the cart paths and are narrow putting a premium on hitting the fairway. And you can easlily go out of bounds with errant tee shots. And also more often than not you will not have a level lie. Rough was not much of an issue as you could play out of it but advancement was limited. I was not in any bunkers but they all appeared groomed and cleaned for play for the day. Greens were in very nice shape. They are large but w/o a lot of undulations but being large they do put the fear of a 3 putt in ones mind. And all of them are above the fairway to some degree. Something I have experienced here in N CA vs the flat courses in S CA (not all but most). The par 3's are an excellent form of design and fun to play. Great customer service in the shop and cart personnel. Did not get to use the resaurant but it was very nice in appearance. Driving range and putting green. Golf carts are functional but are not in the best of appearance. All in all I had an enjoyable time and will find time to go back when the weather is nicer and the course has rounded into better condition. I would not hestitate to recommend this course if you are in the area. I was struck by the fact how quite the course was early in the AM compared to S CA
