Play Lincoln Hills
As one of Sacramento's finest golfing facilities, Lincoln Hills Golf Club boasts a pristine golf layout at affordable prices. The Lincoln Hills Golf Club first appeared on Northern California’s public golf scene in 1999 as an 18-hole, Billy Casper/Greg Nash-designed golf course.
In 2004, another nine holes were unveiled, with the last nine completed in the summer of 2005. The final two nines, solely designed by Greg Nash, are seamlessly incorporated into the original course thereby creating two 18-hole layouts (The Hills and The Orchard Courses) with traditional out-and-back configurations.
The golf course’s generous corridors and expansive fairways impart a feeling of openness as the layout unfolds over the rolling hills and natural wetlands common to this neck of Placer County, California. Manicured fairways are framed by daunting hazards and pockets of pine, oak and redwood trees that add to the golf course’s aesthetic appeal as well as to the risk/reward challenges.
Although The Orchard Course is best defined by its long and challenging par 4’s, it’s the short par-4 sixth hole that attracts the most birdies. A variety of waterfowl such as Egrets, Herons and Canadian Geese have chosen to roost in a large oak situated behind the green.
The Orchard Course’s counterpart, The Hills Course, challenges golfers with an assortment of golf holes ranging from risk/reward par 5s to bombs-away par 4s, but it’s arguably the par 3s that reflect the character of this 6,853-yard track. For example, the par-3 12th plays downhill with wetlands to the right and behind the green. The hole is as picturesque as it is challenging, and like many of the holes on The Hills course, close scrutiny to the day’s pin sheet as well as sound course management are required to score.
Through the years, The Lincoln Hills Golf Club as successfully hosted competitive events such as the 2003 LPGA Tour's Longs Drug Challenge and more recently the 2008 NCAA Ladies West Regional Golf Tournament, as well as hundreds of other local charity and corporate events.
