CANYON LAKES GOLF CLUB (1987)

BAY AREA REGION

Public - 18 hole: cost $52 - $82

640 Bollinger Canyon Way, San Ramon, CA 94583

Tel: (925) 735-6511    

 

Designed by Ted Robinson. This is one of the East Bay's better and tougher tracks. The course plays among housing, around water and creeks, and up and down the hilly terrain. The driving range has you hitting into nets. From Walnut Creek (about 15 miles south to the course): Take I-680 south. Take the Bollinger Canyon exit and head east. Turn left on Canyon Lakes Drive. Immediately turn left on Bollinger Canyon Way into the shopping center.

CANYON OAKS COUNTRY CLUB (1990)

SHASTA CASCADE REGION

Members only - 18 hole

999 Yosemite Drive, Chico, CA 95928

Tel: (530) 343-1116    

 

Designed by Jim Summers. Canyon Oaks is one of the most difficult in the region. This is a hilly course that plays along a creek. Narrow fairways with trouble on both sides spell doom for wayward hitters. Reciprocal play with other members-only clubs is allowed. From within Chico: Off Highway 99, take Highway 32 east. Turn left on Bruce Road. Make a right on California Park Drive and another right on Yosemite Drive. The proverbial saying that if you can score well here, you can play anywhere stands true here. Bring a few extra balls.
