Palo Cedro (Alternate Tees) Course
Grape Ranch Golf Club
About this course
Grape Ranch Golf Club sits in the rolling foothills of Shasta County, roughly ten miles east of Redding in the small community of Palo Cedro. Designed by Bert Stamps and opened in the mid-1990s, the course occupies former ranch land where the terrain transitions from the Sacramento Valley floor toward the Cascade Range. The property features gentle elevation changes and scattered oak trees typical of Northern California's interior landscape, with Mount Lassen visible on clear days to the east. The routing takes advantage of the natural contours, with fairways that move across hillsides and greens positioned to incorporate the existing topography. Water comes into play on several holes through ponds and seasonal creeks that reflect the area's agricultural heritage. The alternate tees configuration offers different angles and yardages from the standard setup, providing variety for regular players and allowing the course to play to different skill levels without changing the fundamental character of each hole. Grape Ranch serves as a daily-fee facility in a region where golf courses are relatively sparse compared to California's coastal and southern metropolitan areas. The club draws from Redding and the surrounding communities, offering a straightforward golf experience in a quiet, rural setting where the pace tends to be relaxed and the focus remains on the game itself rather than resort-style amenities.

Getting there
The journey to Grape Ranch Golf Club begins at Redding Municipal Airport, a compact regional hub roughly twenty minutes to the northwest, though most travelers fly into Sacramento International and embrace the scenic two-and-a-half-hour drive north through the Sacramento Valley. The route traces Interstate 5 as it climbs toward the southern gateway of the Cascades, then peels east onto winding country roads where vineyards and cattle ranches give way to rolling foothill terrain. As you approach Palo Cedro, the landscape opens into sun-baked grasslands framed by distant volcanic peaks, and the final turn onto the property feels less like arrival at a golf club than discovery of a private wine country retreat hidden in plain sight.
