Golf Course Review Apple Mountain Golf Resort Camino California

Reviewed by: Deepsea14, Granite Bay
Played early 7/21. Arrived just-in-time and rolled a few putts only. Maybe not the best way to get warmed up and going at this course. Range available easy access. First tee shot (whites) requires a 185-199 yd shot downhill to get a flat landing area then just under 150 over a ravine to a green with laterals on both sides. Second hole 80yd drop par 3 at 130yds. It’s up and down at the mountain. Our playing partners referring to the tips guide and helped one of them to three pars in a row to get going.

The Review

Course is green and in good shape all around. Carts restricted on only one hole(10th) but could have been more as the par 5 fifth had a lot of water on it and I felt like it was so much in the fairway that I shouldn’t be driving on it in fear of damage. The grass was green and lush and cut tight but underfoot you definitely had squishy turf. This hole and a few others too.

Bunkers looked OK didn’t try them out. Rough manageable. Most holes have forest or deep grass. A lot of the side back areas have wild flowers with white daises and sweet peas in bloom right now.

Greens putted well and were fresh cut but also had excess moisture on them as if the were watered after cutting or the morning dew reset putts did not leave a trail on the surface. By the afternoon I’d think when dry would be rolling perfect for design.

Final Thoughts

Fun to play and it’s up and down and side-hills at an elevation of about 2700 ft. Big pines cedar and redwood like Tahoe. Cooler temps than the valley which is good this time of year for me.
Customer service great and recognized the pro shop and starter (tenured Sr’s) excellent service. The beer is cold. No beverages on the course at this early time.
