TUSCAN RIDGE GOLF CLUB (2001)

 

SHASTA CASCADE REGION

Public: 18 hole - cost: $25 - $45

3100 Skyway Avenue, Chico, CA 95927

Tel: (530) 343-3862  

 

Designed by Algie M. Pulley, Jr. Tuscan Ridge is a meadow course that uses creeks, ponds, and native oaks to create its challenge. The newer back nine has tighter fairways and is much longer Off the tee. From within Chico: Off Highway 99, exit at Skyway Avenue, and head east about five miles. Hopefully, the architect, Mr. Pulley, will be back to make adjustments because the landing areas are awkward and most of the greens are far too severe. In its present state, this course will be challenged to survive.

Designed by Ted Robinson. Tustin Ranch has undulating fairways and multi-tiered greens. There is an abundance of sand and water, including waterfalls. All of this contributes to making this one of the most popular courses in Orange County.

From Anaheim (about 13 miles south to the course): Take I-5 south to Tustin Ranch Road. Turn left and proceed one and one-half miles to Township Drive. Turn right to the course. A little pricey, but a solid Ted Robinson design that will be enjoyed by golfers who like a good challenge, fairway through green.
