Every great party begins with terrific ambience, and this one is no different. The course looks down on the central valley fog belt and up at the snow-peaked Sierras, so you'll never be wanting for thrilling vistas. The design itself is traditional with many sand bunkers strategically placed to challenge your game. The wide fairways are your friend here, so treat them well and they'll repay in spades. And don't forget, have a good time.

Two of the most important traditions of golf – to be challenged by the course and inspired by the surroundings – are fulfilled magnificently at Saddle Creek Resort in Northern California's gold country. Framed by dramatic ridgelines with the towering Sierras in the distance, the Saddle Creek championship course offers five sets of tees, ranging from the PGA tees at 6,826 yards to the forward tees at 4,486 yards. Because there are no parallel fairways, each hole has its own identity.
