Arcade Creek, nestled within the sprawling Haggin Oaks complex in Sacramento, is where countless Northern California golfers first fell in love with the game. A classic, mid-century design, Arcade Creek favors a strategic, thoughtful approach over sheer power. Designed by Desmond Muirhead in 1965, the course winds through mature oaks and alongside its namesake creek, demanding accuracy off the tee. The relatively flat terrain makes it walkable, while subtle undulations around the greens test putting prowess. It's a straightforward, honest test of golf, making it ideal for beginners and a fun, relaxing round for more experienced players. While not on the national stage, Arcade Creek holds a special place in the local golf community. It's a haven for casual rounds, family outings, and a testament to the enduring appeal of accessible, enjoyable golf. The course’s clubhouse is also known amongst its regulars for their post round tri-tip sandwiches.
