Golf in Sacramento — A Local's Guide
Sacramento's golf scene is defined by its magnificent tree canopy and river-corridor courses. The City of Sacramento operates four exceptional municipal complexes — Haggin Oaks, William Land, Bing Maloney, and Bartley Cavanaugh — that collectively represent some of the best affordable public golf in Northern California. Haggin Oaks, home to the Alister MacKenzie course and the massive Sacramento Golf Show, is the crown jewel: a sprawling 36-hole complex in the heart of the American River Parkway.
Beyond the city facilities, Sacramento County delivers standout regional courses. Ancil Hoffman in Carmichael threads through mature oaks along the American River. Teal Bend and WildHawk offer premium public play on the county's outskirts. Mather Golf Course — the former Air Force Base layout — is beloved for its wide fairways and value. Cherry Island in Elverta sits alongside wetlands for a unique birding-and-birdie experience. Private clubs like Del Paso Country Club carry nearly a century of Sacramento golf history.
