DEL PASO COUNTRY CLUB

The mature Valley oak canopy frames every approach shot at this William Bell design, where elevation changes of 60 feet create dramatic playing angles across rolling Sacramento terrain. The par-4 14th demands a precise draw around ancient oaks to a green that slopes severely from back to front, while the uphill par-3 17th plays two clubs longer than the yardage suggests. This 1916 layout rewards course management over raw distance, with greens that punish aggressive pin-hunting but reward patient golfers who understand how California's Central Valley conditions affect ball flight.
