Reviewed: Played on:Feb 14, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Nice new baskets
-Great layout, lots of variation( i.e. Long holes, ace runs, technical holes, multiple routes on most holes, elevation changes, hazards, mandos and obs on some holes)
-Bar and grill on site
-Cart rentals available

Cons:

-Grass teepads
-Garbage from a recently abandoned homeless encampment
-Some really rough areas around 8-14

Other Thoughts:

This course just opened the day before I played it. The design is great. Being so new they haven't had a chance to put in permanent teepads, but hopefully they will soon. It's $6 to play a full 18, and worth the cost. Local Pro Drew Gibson led the charge on getting this course in from my understanding and all I can say is thank you. The $6 cost will hopefully keep some of the riff raff that haunt nearby Shady Oaks away. The design is definitely pro level, and will offer a good challenge to any player without being so difficult it takes the fun out of it. A creek that runs through the course can swallow a disc easily, but the staff seem committed to putting in the effort of returning any found discs. My first round here I lost a disc and shot about the worst round I've had in months, but I still enjoyed every minute of it. I'm only giving it 4 discs now, but after they've had time to put a little more into it (i.e. Permanent teepads, cleaning up a bit of the garbage and rougher fairways on 8-14) that rating will definitely go up to 4.5.

Pros:

A new course in the Sacramento area. After a lot of attempts to get a new course in the ground we finally have a new private one. Thanks to the owners of sunrise golf for taking the time and effort to put a course in and thanks to the local volunteers who put in a lot work on the install. Thanks Drew. Clubhouse with bar and grill onsite. Cart rental available but I dont see that happening on the back holes for awhile, pretty rough still.

Cons:

Pay to play but that will probably keep a lot of the riffraff away. This isnt necessarily a con, but since it is a shared course heads up for golf balls and be courteous to the regulars that have been playing here for years.

Other Thoughts:

A nice championsip style course with a good mix of holes. Several par 4 holes for a good change of pace. The back 8-14 is really rough, as previously mentioned, but honestly, it added to the fun. Creek in play on about half of the holes. Course is really nice in the winter right now, obviously sacramento gets really hot in summer. This is located right next to the sunrise marketplace and mall so all the anemities in the world our easily within walking distance. A number of buses go to the mall so public transportation is also quite good to the course.
UPDATE- Sunrise Golf Course owner was pleasantly surprised at the turnout for opening weekend. I had a great convo with him after our round today. He wasnt aware there were so many disc golfers in Sac. Lets show him the best side of disc golfers and get this great new course made into a permanent Sacramento addition. Blended courses can be challenging but this course is worth our effort, thanks-Sharon
