ONE OF CALIFORNIA’S BEST COURSES

With scenery like Yosemite’s Half Dome and the snow-capped Sierra Nevada’s in the distance, you’ll be forgiven if you stop to look around a bit while you tackle the par-72, 6,826-yard Carter Moorish-designed Saddle Creek Golf Course.

The course, which is regularly rated as a best place to play in the state, features impressive scenery and changes in elevation throughout plus truly unique holes that stand on their own merits. Lakes, streams, native grasses, and white sand bunkers frame the holes and only add to the amazing setting. Seven separate sets of tees make the course accessible and enjoyable to all players.

Saddle Creek offers a stay and play package that includes one night’s accommodations, two rounds of golf, unlimited use of the practice facility, golf cart delivered to your bungalow, breakfast or lunch at the Copper Grille, and unlimited use of the sports center facilities. Midweek rates start at $464 (double occupancy) and $554 on weekends.

When you experience all that Saddle Creek has to offer firsthand, you’ll understand why so many past guests have now become residents in the community.
