Good public course in Sacramento. Relatively flat but good conditions and interesting holes. One of my favorites when I lived there. Bring bug spray the mosquitos can be brutal

Solid muni, overpriced due to MacKenzie pedigree. Not much MacKenzie left but if you’re familiar with his work you can squint and see flashes of influence. Would love to see this get renovated could be a real treat. A pretty good option in Sacramento

My favorite muni in Sacramento a good routing with some interesting terrain that stands out in the normally flat sacramento valley. Fun holes and challenging. Conditions can be spotty being a city course it’s your. It’s your best bet in Sacramento. Good course

Short course on a small footprint. Decent conditions not one of my favs but it has a following. Most notable about it is the replica island green (shorter version of TPC Sawgrass)

Pretty decent muni old school vibe with mature oak trees. Conditions can be hit and miss. It is a step below some of the daily fee public access courses in the area but really a solid option for public golf in Sacramento.
