Mark Horn and Susie Horm told of me of some cool course near Chico that overlooks the San Andreas Fault. Forget the name of it though.

Is that at fieldbrook? Kaleb mentioned a tourney there. I just don't think I want to and I need to be home on Sunday. Might be tough to pull out with that length of drive. Still mulling areas over.

I didn't read all the posts. I saw Grass Valley on your list. Are you going to play the holy trinity up there? You can easily play Penn Valley, Grass Valley, and Auburn in one day. Then zip down I-80 and hit up Rocklin and Shady Oaks in Sac/Citrus Heights. From there you can zip down or up the central valley. If your heading up the valley. You could check out Woodlands course. Not a great course, but a fun one and they have Tuesday random doubles (not sure of time).
A couple notes: I hear the new layout at Rocklin is in, but not sure if the baskets have been placed (two week old info). Shady Oaks is almost a shell of it's former busy a$$ course. Still a great course, but all the undercover police activity has run people off. So for me it's great, because I can get there at any time of day and not have to wait to play.
Enjoy your trip!

You might want to check on the KOA course in Cloverdale, because I thought it was removed? You mention another KOA. Are you talking about the one in Willits? If so, you will dig it! 15 and 16 are two of my "top 100" holes ever. Well, that's if the wind is blowing and that ridge. As for Crane Creek, if your pressed for time. That's one course you wouldn't mind missing. I'd also bring some Technu or some form of Poison Oak remover, because there is quite a bit on several of the courses you've mentioned.

@Rescue: We've already done Shady and Rocklin and have pretty much done the whole Sacramento area. We're trying to head a little more north and to play a bunch of new courses. For this trip I could see us doing 20+ courses over 3 days.
@Lion: joined a Facebook group for Monterey Stinging Jellies, just waiting approval. I figure someone there could help us out with Old Capital. There doesn't seem to be much info on the web as far as contact information goes.

This is a good list.
I was going to suggest that you knock out everything south of Sacramento on your yet to play list (which isn't a lot). That way all you'd have to do is plan a few road trips north to get every course in Cali.
But, then again, you could probably go get all the Fresno/Modesto region courses on a day and a half trip from LA. So going north to collect some additional courses now would be the way to go.

The San Andreas fault does not run even close to Chico, just a FYI

Damn, what a trip!
Saturday was an intense day...
Low Gap - really fun course that offered a variety of shots
Mendocino College - with some work this could be so much better
Mendocino Lake South - good course with some tough shots
Mendocino Lake North - short, tough and technical and now 18 holes!
Willits KOA - fun shots and better than we thought it would be
Clear Lake High School - do yourself a favor and never go here
Highland Springs - really good course and a rad way to end the trip
Currently driving back to SoCal. We'll be driving all night.... its gonna be tough. Excellent trip with some epic gold.
21 courses total.... hell yeah!

I'm on the left and Lion on the right. This is after a round and many beers at Anderson Valley Brewery.
The trip was most excellent!
I love the Anderson Valley course. Had an amazing experience there last year around this time.

Yes, we had an amazing time at AVBC. Great course, great beers, and very cool people.
That course has been on my wishlist for years!
