I guess I really don't know much better, but this course is fine. Not worth $46 with cart on a holiday Friday with a forecast of rain, but generally okay. It's immediately adjacent and, in a spot or two, facing the runway of a municipal airport. The general area is south Sacramento, and borders a rough part of town. There's an exec course and a regulation course. I played the exec course once last year and got called away before I could finish, so I can't really say much about it at this time. I don't know much about the refund policy of most courses in the event of rain. These guys post prominently that with a wet forecast, you assume the risk, which is cool. My party of four did just that, and made it through okay. The course is in okay shape. Not great, not terrible. Being a novice golfer, I really can't say I know what to expect in terms of conditions for a NorCal course in November. But I've seen much better (Ancil Hoffman) and worse (Bartley Cavanaugh) public courses in the same price range. One good thing about Bing Maloney is that most of the fairways are wide and forgiving. Even so, I shanked more than my share off the tees and often wound up in the rough! I'm not sure what contributes to this, but the pace of play was quite brisk this particular day. Maybe there were fewer golfers out due to the forecast, but I am definitely the weak link in the group I usually play with and, notwithstanding the fact that the two groups in front of us were walking and we were riding, we were still done in just under 4 hours.

Just played it today; it's in pretty rough shape during the last week of September! I generally like this course, because while it's pretty flat, it has some mentally challenging fairways and water features. Like the #2 tee, a fairly skinny fairway, which lies just right of the 5 freeway. Shank far enough to the left, and you may kill someone. Or the #4 tee, which borders a fenced open field. I want to climb over that fence with a shopping cart, and stock up with a lifetime supply of balls. Or my favorite, #17. It's 86 yards from the blue box, but surrounded by a lake on 3 sides. Today, with my pitching wedge, I sailed over the entire island (okay, it's actually a peninsula), and landed on a steep decline just short of the water. I needed 3 strokes to get to the green; I kept falling short or going long into the water. I'll be having nightmares about it until I play there again. Like I said, today the course was in pretty bad shape; saturated and muddy in many, many spots. Which is interesting, considering the extreme heat we've had the last couple weeks.

Nice course, in a nice section of town. Very peacful and quiet; lots of wildlife from the nearby American River frequent the course; you'll see ducks, geese, squirrels, deer and the occasional bobcat as you walk along. It's either the 16th or 17th tee, that has a big oak tree, smack dab in the middle of the fairway; makes for a challenging first couple of shots. The refreshment cart and clubhouse are always staffed with gorgeous young ladies, but somehow this place maintains a fairly wholesome, family-oriented atmosphere. Overall, a great experience, especially if you can schedule a twilight round.

Great public course for:
1. New and novice golfers
2. BUDGET GOLFERS!

Twilight prices are 2nd to none; after 3p.m., you're paying no more than $14. After 5, $8 on weekdays, $10 on weekends. The place is pretty well maintained for the price, too. If you're a walker, it's ideal,as it's nice and flat. Good golfers may find it boring, but scrubs like me really appreciate having a place to learn the game without the pressure brought on by paying a mint. I like this place . . . a lot.
