Elkhorn continues to be one of my favorite Central Valley courses. Classic parkland layout with tight fairways, tree lined holes, and raised bent grass greens

Customer service is outstanding! Friendly pro shop, well stocked with equipment, logo adidas shirts for $32! Nice bar and restaurant as well that is reasonably price

Course has made an effort to continue to improve conditions. Bent grass greens are excellent, fairways green and cut short for middle of summer. Rough could use a little work. They’ve done a nice job of adding sand to the bunkers, although the fairway bunkers are too soft and have too much sand in them.

Overall, still s nice deal, nice challenge, and fun experience.

Played here in July with my monthly golf group.

Pro shop and Bar/Restaurant Staff were outstanding. Fully stocked pro shop. Very nice practice area including full grass driving range, chipping area, and putting green.

Course itself was in good shape for the middle of July. Fairways were still green and had plenty of turf. Tee boxes were good. Greens were soft and rolled true.

This course is unique in the Sacramento area being that the course winds through the native trees and blackberry bushes that are native to the area (being near the Sacramento River). The courses is located right behind the Sacramento Airport, but one wouldn't know it unless you catch a glimpse of a taxiing plane though the trees on the back nine.

Highly recommended in the Sacramento area.

Private course which allows daily public play after 11AM. I cannot say it loud enough. This course is worth every penny of the $100-$115 green fee in which they charge to play. Most of the club members play in the morning, so the course is wide open in the PM.

Booked a time for my monthly golf group, 12 of us in total. The pro shop, bar, and course staff treated us like we were members. Top notch service.

The course itself is beautiful and immaculately maintained. Not a spot of brown anywhere on the fairways. Felt like hitting off carpet of driving range mats. Every fairway shot felt like the perfect lie. Greens were fast, fair, and rolled true. Very few houses on the course, loads of panoramic views.

In the 4 hours it took us to play our round, we never saw another group. 100% felt like it was our own private club. Take advantage of playing here before others figure it out.

Played here in late April with GK member postmanami. Played the Oaks and Lakes 18 (there is another 9 hole layout called Timber Pines as well.) Course is inside Del Webb Roseville community.

Check in was fast and easy and the pro shop was well-stocked.

Course was in excellent shape, one of the best I've played condition-wise in the Roseville area lately. Greens rolled true, fairways were lush green, and the bunkers had adequate sand.

Beverage cart was on the course and the staff was super friendly.

Overall a nice local round for the Sacramento area!

Played Chardonnay in late April for the first time in several years. A fun layout with 6 Par 3's, 6 Par 4's, and 6 Par 5's, which you don't see every day.

Staff and Facilities:
The pro shop was well stocked, with a friendly staff. The beverage cart was running until 4PM and the turn snack shack was open. Great service and food was good.

Course and conditions:
Course was in excellent shape as the spring rains have really greened everything up. Greens ran a little on the slower side as they had been punched and sanded 3 weeks prior and were still at the very later stages of coming out of it. Fairways were lush green. Tee boxes in great shape.

I'd highly recommend playing here if in the Napa area.

After avoiding the course for almost two years, I gave it a shot on a weekend as the course was offering $25 special with cart. The course has been a layout that I've enjoyed, but management has struggled to maintain the course in recent years.

Conditions: While still a lot to be desired, it does appear that the ownership is starting to put some maintenance dollars back into the course.

--Greens were the bright spot per usual, receptive and rolled well. Tee blocks were okay, some uneven spots and some TLC needed.
--Fairways and rough were a mix of grass and bare spots, though better than the recent past. Some of the areas on fairways appear to have drainage/irrigation issues (where one area is soaking wet and 5-10 feet away is bone dry.) I am not sure how this could be fixed without a major overhaul.
--Bunkers, while still an issue, are also improved. Probably about 1/2 of the bunkers have new added sand.

I'm hoping the course continues their positive strides.

Played Darkhorse on a dry, cool, Saturday afternoon in January. It had rained fairly heavily the past few days, so the course was softer (and a little friendlier to scoring) than usual.

Conditions: Despite the recent rain, the course was in great shape. Fairways very green for the middle of winter Greens receptive from the precipitation but still rolled smooth and quickly.

Layout: One of the toughest tracks in Northern California. An excellent mix of shots are required on this course. You must bring your "A" game.

Customer Service: Excellent pro shop and on course staff.

Will continue to keep this in my mix of courses!

Played Legend Trail during the last week of December 2017. Difficult target golf placing the priority on hitting the ball straight. Played the copper tees at roughly 6,000 yards, which was plenty difficult despite the 123 slope.

Conditions: Excellent. Greens were smooth and rolled well. Not super fast but not slow either. Fairways had some yellow, but no bare spots anywhere. Bunkers had a good amount of sand.

Service: Friendly pro shop, bar, and on course staff.

This is a nice course to play when in the area, especially with their discount last minute pricing. Much cheaper to book here in the last 3-4 days before the date of play.

A fun, challenging course in Fountain Hills. Was able to book my last week of December round for $85 a few weeks in advance. This is a great price for such a nice caliber golf course.

Course was in immaculate shape. Greens were 12+ on the stimp, making approach shots and putts very difficult. Fairways, bunkers, and tee boxes were in immaculate shape.

Course is one of the most challenging in the Phoenix area. The last six holes are appropriately dubbed "the Wicked Six," a set of two par 3's, 4's, and 5's, all playing uphill.

Great customer service in the pro shop and on the course. This is one of the Phoenix/Scottsdale areas best courses to play at the price.

This course, in its current form, continues to be one of my favorite tracks in Phoenix. The course was in absolutely pristine shape. Lush fairways and first cut of rough. The greens were smooth, quick and fair, with tons of undulations.

This course requires that you think about what part of the green you are aiming at. Hit the wrong part and you are going to have some large breaks to deal with.

Although houses are now springing up all over the course with new development, there are still several panoramic views from the course. The course now has a nice pro shop and bar area.

I'd rate this course a must play when I come to Phoenix/Scottsdale. It is an excellent value with a sub-$100 late December green fee.

Played this course in late December 2017. Chose to play here due to the proximity to the airport-- 6 miles.

Positives--
-Friendly pro shop, on course staff, and food and beverage service
-Course was in great shape; smooth greens, overseeded fairways, no bare spots
-Pace of play was excellent, on course staff did a nice job of keeping everyone moving

Negatives--
-Not many memorable holes.

Overall, this is a course I'd keep in my rotation when I visit Phoenix. Cost of green fee was $99. The course feels like a $70-80 course, but overall, still had a good time.
