Palo Cedro at Grape Ranch Golf Club

Grape Ranch Golf Club sits in Palo Cedro, a small community in Shasta County in Northern California, roughly ten miles east of Redding. The course occupies rolling terrain in the foothills of the Cascade Range, where the landscape transitions from the Sacramento Valley floor to higher elevations. Bert Stamps designed the layout, working with the natural contours and oak-studded hillsides characteristic of this part of the state.

The routing takes advantage of elevation changes that provide variety in shot-making and visual interest across the property. Fairways move through stands of valley oaks and digger pines, with the surrounding topography creating natural definition and framing for many holes. The climate here is warm and dry for much of the year, typical of interior Northern California, which allows for firm playing conditions during the summer months.

Grape Ranch serves the local golfing community in the Redding area, offering a daily-fee facility in a region where public golf options are relatively limited. The course provides a straightforward test suited to a range of skill levels, with the terrain and tree placement requiring accuracy more than exceptional length. The setting reflects the rural character of Shasta County, with views extending toward the surrounding foothills and, on clear days, glimpses of the higher peaks to the north and east.
