NorCal Crew hangout thread

Currently live in Folsom but moving to Winters shortly. I usually play one 18 hole round a weekend somewhere and then an evening 9 for league in the summer, or here, there and everywhere in the leagues offseason.

One of my favorite courses will be right down the road from you. I love Yocha Dehe. Rancho Solano is great as well
 
Rancho Solano has been great all year! By far the best greens in the area

That's good to hear. Need to head up and play it. Haven't gotten that far from Bay yet. Played Blue Rock a couple weeks ago and it was bad and brutal slow play. Usually it is in good shape.
 
Me and my buddies have a game that consist of two dollar payouts for three putts. Of all the courses we play,, Rancho Solano always has the most three putts because the greens are huge and fast.
Go try Whitney. The greens there were maniacal yesterday. In our 3some there were probably 12-14 3 putts in the round. I had two.

Funny you say that because we stayed in Rocklin this weekend and played 3 course in the area. Whitney, Lincoln Hills & some semi private place called Winchester in Auburn. My low score was 78 at Lincoln and my highest score was 93 at Whitney. I truly believe the architect of Whitney was evil because that course kicked my A$$…

It was my first time out there. It’s not a hard course IMO, but local knowledge is key. I shot 86 and had a good ball striking day. The way I hit the ball I should’ve been around 78 or so. I lost 2-3 shots to a bad swing and the rest to just being out of position by not knowing better.

You can thank Johnny Miller for Whitney Oaks. I played it once and if I dont play there again, I wont lose any sleep

I've heard good things about Rancho Solano. I need to make it down there

Rancho Solano will definitely test your putter! I'm right by there and usually down to play any time if anyone wants to hit it up. It's always a pleasure to play with new folks.

I’d love to get a crew of THPers out there. I’m in the Bay Area but less than an hour from east bay.

We just booked our spring Away tournament at Rancho (it is in may) so glad to hear. Have enjoyed both Rancho and Paradise the times I have played them.

Shoot.....that's worth taking a day off of work for!
 
Just booked a noon tee time for this Saturday at Rancho. Will post photos as best I can

I have zero issues heading down to the bay to play. I grew up in the south bay so it's an easy drive.

Awesome. Let’s get some rounds going with the NorCal crew. Sounds like we’ll need to figure out Solano first. I’m game for something later this month or early October. Out of town this coming weekend but have the calendar clear the rest of year until December.

i stay in Napa well Napalacia a couple weekends each month . i love Rancho and play it and paradise valley every weekend when we are there. This weekend i played both ... rancho and paradise have great rates if you join their loyalty program , pay $65 annually and it saves up to 25% of published rates, can book up to 14 days in advance and get points for free rounds and range buckets
 
forgot to mention that between the two fairfield courses Rancho is my favorite , one of the best kept muni courses in the area.

I did join 7 years ago and every year since. At first it was to get decent tee times since we like to go early. Not only do you get discount on every round. Approximately every 10 rounds you build up enough points for a free round. Loyalty program pays itself off tenfold...
 
I would consider making my way up for a round if something is put together.
 
back to napa next week , i havent watched a day time football game live this season, less crowds when niners are playing and its good weather . played ranchpo last sunday and it was pretty quiet for a sunny sunday
 
Just played Presidio a couple of weeks back... Was gonna try and get a round in somewhere Thursday but it's not looking good... Definitely gonna be in the area quite a bit during my rehab... And hopefully, I am on the faster end of recovery
