You always receive great service and a challenge at Greenhorn Creek. The marshall on duty during our round ("Steve") took the time to explain the GPS system, although we knew it already, but that's his job. At the turn, he was there to ask us if we had any issues, how it was going, and if we'd like a cold towel to battle the heat! We gratefully accepted that offer and he reminded us that we could order lunch from the nearby course phone, aka the "Hot Dog Hotline". Course was in it's usual super condition, although the greens, with their different grass textures, look blotchy, but that won't affect your putting. Other things, perhaps, but not the colors. Sand quality was very good, at least in the one bunker on #4 I found myself in, the fairways were excellent, and the maintenance crew was hard at work keeping everything that way. It was relatively uncrowded today and we finished in just a bit over 4 hours - excellent. This course is a little less than a two hour drive for me, but in the nine years I've been going there, I've never had a bad experience.

You will love this course! I played on 10/16/2010 three weeks after they plugged. The greens were a little bumpy and slow but overall pretty good considering. Normally the greens are great. This course wanders through the resort with a great layout. No two holes are the same and some definite risk reward shots. The signature Par 3 13th hole is short but severly down hill with water in front. It's a beautiful hole. There's houses along most of the holes, but there set back into the woods for the most part. You really feel like you're in your own world out there. There is a nice practice facility although it's a little lean on chipping and bunker areas. Large putting green next to the first tee. Number 18 is a par 5 that's got green light written all over it if you hit a good drive. Just don't look at the big oak and water guarding the front of the green. Afterwards there's a nice bar to lick your wounds. Try this one if you're in Angels Camp.

This was our first time at this beautiful golf course. The location and the restaurant were very lovely. The golf course was very well taken care of. However, it was so over watered and soggy that it took away from its beauty (muddy sand traps, standing water, etc.) We were on vacation and the last thing we wanted was to be hurried. The marshals kept telling us to hurry up, however, we really never had the following group breathing down our necks. Aside from the sense of hurry, we enjoyed the course's challenges and beauty. the 17th. hole was a mother.

Green Horn Creek is a nice layout with short iron work and long doglegs to challenge your clubs. The biggest drawback is the course encased in the homesites. You will definitely have to be on the greens as most of the owners will verbally inform you that the ball is on their property, even if you can see it. Not a problem if you play straight and true. Nice clubhouse, small Pro shop, and usually can only hit clubs off of mats at driving range. Try it.

WOW... there's a reason this course is rated one of the best courses to play in northern ca. its a RTJ design and it shows. I found all the holes interesting and the club house and staff are just as g... Continue »

WOW... there's a reason this course is rated one of the best courses to play in northern ca. its a RTJ design and it shows. I found all the holes interesting and the club house and staff are just as good. the driving range is great to start your round off with, and club house has awsome food. I played here in the heat, really hot, like 104* and the course showed no signs of drying out. the green here are FIRM... like one poster said, "The term "ball mark" is replaced by "minor dent" on these greens...sometimes it's hard to find where you came down." this is the only thing I had to come to terms with. and did I mention they were FAST, there fast, really fast. the layout through the houses is scenic and OK as I got the feeling sometimes I was in there backyard teeing off...lol but for the most part you will find it a great track. the locals who live up there are super friendly and love there course, and it shows as they always replace divots and marks. if your up in the gold country and want a fine course to challenge your game, this is it...
the carts have GPS on them and for 1st timers you'll find that its a great help to see where to go, as some holes laying up is a must. I can't wait to go back and play there again in better temps....

Except the crazy wind conditions (30-35mph) it was wonderful. I really enjoyed the layout and the challange. Can't wait to go back!

Well maintained with fast greens in good condition, smooth. Beautiful surroundings.

Greenhorn Creek is one of the best bang-for-the-buck courses in N. Cal., in my humble opinion and easily worth the drive for me from Sacramento to Angels Camp. The staff are always in full press mode to ensure you are treated as a guest, and not just a wallet that wandered into the pro shop. The course is in super shape, but if you aren't used to close-cropped greens that usually refuse to stop your ball no matter how much spin you put on it, you're in for a revelation. The term "ball mark" is replaced by "minor dent" on these greens...sometimes it's hard to find where you came down. Plenty of challange in this course...it isn't a "cookie-cutter", but on the other hand, it isn't one that will chew you up and spit you out and make you want to throw your sticks into the first pond you see...it's a fair test and I can't think of a club that I didn't use today. They've revamped some of the tee boxes and #13 is a landscape work of the first order...nice job crew! Hard to find a better view on a course that isn't parked next to the ocean. If you haven't played it, you should. GolfNow.com offers some pretty decent deals for this time of year during the week.
