Wildwings Golf Course
For those who live in the Sacramento/Woodland/Davis area and play golf, I would like to tell you about a great course. Wildwings golf course located about 5 miles west of Woodland on Highway 16 makes for a nice challenging course. The designer placed hazards strategically to give you the opportunity to think about your shot. If I hit a driver will I be able to make it over the water, should I stay to the left or take the chance, or maybe this one, should I hit to the back of the green and let it roll down or play safe and put it up front? Don't worry -things always come out as they are played, just not to your advantage sometimes.
The first hole is a good starter with you being given the choice of going to the right or if accurate enough, taking a short cut left with the possibility of your ball going for a swim. If you go right you have to deal with the large tree located about where your ball would hit the ground. I always aim to the right of the tree. That isn't necessarily where my ball goes but the intent is there.
Hole Two is a short par 3 with a bunker on the right and a hill on the left and a little further left the highway. I seem to go left and land on top of the hill. Then chip on and take my 4 very happily.
Hole Four is a long par 5 that is very deceiving because it just doesn't look that far till you get to your first drive and realize that you are still over 250 yards away. That may not seems far for the more talented golfer but for the average golfer that is a minimum of 2 more shots to get there; hopefully. Pointer for everyone is don't mess up your drive as there is water again and it is out there about the distance of a short drive so it is either lay up short and then go over the water and add a stroke or go for it to get over the water. I've been lucky enough to make it over each time. My golf buddy hasn't been as fortunate.
The entire course is this way. You can't help but love going out there to beat that course.
Ah, I forgot to tell about the greens. Every single green is a challenge for your eyesight and judgement of ball speed. Ya gotta be careful of your speed or you could be even further from the hole then you started. And there is not a level green out there.
Hopefully I have given you a bit of an incentive to head in that direction and enjoy a good game with your best buddy.
The Pro, John Hoag, is an extremely nice individual to meet as well as the staff. Grab a hotdog or two and head out to the first tee. Check out their website and the coupons they offer. Right now is the perfect time to play. They have a deal going right now that for $69 you can play 10 games at 9 holes per game. Comin' now, that's quite a deal at $6.90 per 9 holes of golf. You won't find that anywhere else.
