EL CARISO GOLF COURSE (1977)

LOS ANGELES REGION

Public - 18 hole -cost: $14 - $23

13100 Eldridge Avenue, Sylmar, CA 91342

Tel: (818) 367-6157

Designed by Robert Muir Graves. There are no "gimme" holes on this level, executive course. With plenty of water, trees, and wind, just being on the fairway does not guarantee an easy shot to the green. The greens are flat, but they tend to break away toward the ocean. From west Los Angeles (about 24 miles north to the course): Take the San Diego Freeway (I-405) north to I-210 east. Take the Hubbard exit and head north. Turn right on Eldridge to the course.

EL DORADO HILLS GOLF CLUB (1962)

 

GOLD COUNTRY REGION

Public - 18 hole -cost: $16 - $25

3775 EI Dorado Hills Boulevard, EI Dorado Hills, CA 95762

Tel: (916) 933-6552

Designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. There are few straight holes on the course. EI Dorado Hills will give golfers plenty of opportunity to hone their skills on working the ball left to right and right to left. If you don't keep it in the fairway, you will find yourself in one of the many trees that line the fair­ways. From Sacramento (about 25 miles east to the course): Travel east on US 50. Take the EI Dorado Hills Boulevard exit north. The course is on the right.
