Designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. Granite Bay Golf Club is a rugged, but simple, course. It was designed to incorporate nature in both beauty and challenge. The course features rolling fairways and is surrounded by oaks, with creeks running throughout. The views on the course are even more spectacular than the design. This is a members-only course, but outside play is accepted on Monday. From Sacramento (about 20 miles northeast to the course): Take I-80 east, exit on Douglas Boulevard, turn right and head southeast. Turn right on Roseville Parkway. Turn right on Golf Club Drive, which is past Sierra College Boulevard. A strong design that is in the top echelon of Northern California's best new private club courses.
