CAMERON PARK COUNTRY CLUB (1962)

GOLD COUNTRY REGION

Members only: 18 hole

3201 Royal Drive, Cameron Park, CA 95682

Tel: (530) 672-7900    

Designed by Bert Stamps. Quick, sloping greens and narrow landing areas make this layout both interesting and rigorous. (Hey, aren't you glad we didn't say "challenging"?) Reciprocal play with other members-only clubs is allowed. From Sacramento (about 35 miles east to the course): Take US 50 east. Take the Cameron Park Drive exit and turn left. Make another left onto Country Club Drive and a right onto Royal Drive.

CAMINO HEIGHTS GOLF CLUB (1963)

GOLD COUNTRY REGION

Semi-Private - 9 hole: cost $12 - $12

3020 Vista Terra Drive, Camino, CA 95709

Tel: (530) 644-0190

Designed by Bert Stamps. This is a hilly course with average-sized, sloping greens. There are houses along the fairways, but they only come into play for the mediocre or worse golfer. The public is welcome, but members get priority for tee times. From Sacramento (about 50 miles east to the course): Drive east on US 50, past Placerville, to Camino. Make a right on Camino Heights Drive and a left on Vista Tierra Drive to the course.
