"...the newest player in the golf destination market, a growing metropolitan area that boasts an abundance of courses, two scenic rivers and a near-perfect climate for golf."
Sacramento Bee, Thursday, Feb. 7, 2002

Excerpt from the Sacramento Bee February 2, 2002: "the Sacramento area is glutted with golf courses, a county report said. The number of daily fee sites jumped from 17 to 34 (since 1993) with 20 more proposed. This despite national standards that suggest 25 to 30 courses for the market, based on population."

The foothills are about as close to golfing heaven as you can  get! Many of the courses in close proximity rival that of the fine  Bay Area and Monterey Peninsula courses.

 With one profound difference: Tee times are easy to get, even  on  the weekends! And prices are much lower.

 All this without even mentioning the Reno-Carson area World  Class golf courses, starting only a little over an hour away! Oh well, another day...
