Castle Oaks Golf Club in Ione
This course features somewhat narrow fairways that are sparsely lined with large oak trees and defined by a standard but of rough. This facility has recently been ranked as the 4th best public course in California by "Golf Today" magazine. The large greens are moderately undulating, medium speed, and a couple of them are multi-tiered. The course was built on rolling terrain. The course's signature hole is #18, a 438-yard, par 4, which can be played in two ways. The first option is to play this dogleg left hole as it is designed, however, if you are brave, there is an island fairway that if you can reach with an accurate tee shot, making this a much shorter hole. The three forward tees are rated for men and ladies.
