ALLEN'S GOLF COURSE

The Sacramento Valley heat bakes this no-frills municipal track into a legitimate test that rewards precision over power, with tree-lined fairways that punish wayward drives and greens that run true despite the modest maintenance budget. What elevates this layout above typical muni fare is the clever routing through mature oaks and the risk-reward short par-4 14th that tempts every golfer into career-worst decisions. It's honest golf at honest prices, where a well-struck 7-iron matters more than your handicap.
