Del Paso Country Club

Del Paso Country Club stands as a testament to Sacramento’s early 20th-century sporting ambitions, a place where power brokers and golf enthusiasts alike have strolled its fairways for nearly a century. The parkland layout, carved into the gently rolling terrain of the Del Paso Heights neighborhood, provides a classic, tree-lined experience, demanding strategic play rather than sheer power; expect approaches that require shaping the ball more than bombing it. Originally designed by the understated but respected architect William "Billy" Bell Sr., Del Paso’s subtly contoured greens and mature oaks require a deft touch and careful course management. Kyle Phillips was brought in for a significant renovation in the early 2000s, modernizing the infrastructure while thoughtfully preserving the course’s inherent charm and strategic shot values. While Del Paso hasn’t hosted major professional championships, it remains a revered venue for regional amateur events and a celebrated centerpiece of the Sacramento golfing community. Members often speak of the club's understated elegance, a haven from the bustle of California's capital city, and its unwavering commitment to the traditions of the game.
