Designed by Richard Bigler.
The layout is wide enough and short enough to
accommodate players new to the game. In addition,
with four lakes, two-tiered greens, and plenty of
trees, even lower handicaps will be entertained.
From within Sacramento: Off Highway 99, exit at
Florin Road and head east. Turn right on Elk
Grove-Florin Road for approximately one mile. The
course is at the corner of Elk Grove and Gerber
Road. This is a well-crafted neighborhood practice
center and golf course.

Designed by Ted Robinson. If
you can't hit a green to save your life, miss long
rather than short. You will find water on 13 of the
18 holes of this short executive course. Most of the
water can be found on the front of the greens, along
with well-placed bunkers. From downtown Los Angeles
(about 120 miles east to the course): Take I-10
east, exit at Monterey Avenue, and head south. Turn
left on Country Club Drive and then right on Portola
Avenue. The course is at 42555 Portola Avenue.
