CHERRY ISLAND GOLF COURSE

The Sacramento Valley heat demands strategic water management, and this public track delivers with wetlands threading through fourteen holes that turn club selection into a chess match. Target golf dominates the back nine where elevated greens punish anything short, while the front side's links-style routing rewards ground game creativity across firm fairways. At just over 6,400 yards from the tips, it's the kind of honest test that separates weekend warriors from genuine stick handlers without breaking anyone's wallet.
