CATTA VERDERA COUNTRY CLUB

The rolling Sierra Nevada foothills provide a dramatic canvas for this Johnny Miller design, where elevation changes of 200 feet create both strategic opportunities and breathtaking vistas across the Sacramento Valley. Miller's routing takes full advantage of the natural granite outcroppings and mature oaks, particularly on the par-3 16th where you're hitting over a canyon to a green perched on bedrock. The conditioning rivals any private club in Northern California, making this one of the region's best public access experiences for golfers who appreciate thoughtful architecture over gimmicky features.
