August is National Golf Month, and the County of Sacramento Department of Regional Parks owns and manages three championship golf courses and one nine-hole executive golf course for residents and visitors to enjoy. The courses offer a variety of settings and designs for a wide range of player skills.
Because each course resides near or within a regional park, it is not uncommon for players to share a fairway with turkey, deer, geese and other wildlife.
Besides getting in 18 holes, picturesque views and a terrific meal, our golf courses offer a variety of classes, lessons and programs for all skills levels.
