Mare Island Golf Course is located in: Vallejo, CA

Phone: (707) 562-4653 

Website: http://www.mareislandgolfclub.com/

Course History:

This is the oldest golf course west of the Mississippi River and was opened in 1895. It first started out as a nine hole course and was later expanded. Numerous tournaments are played every year at this amazingly beautiful and historically rich course. During World War II the army took over the course and to this day you can still see some of their bunkers.

What You Need to Know:

The course does have a cancellation policy for tee-times. You must give them 24 hours notice or you will be charged the full green fee. They do have a dress code and all players must wear collared shirts. Please note that tank tops are not allowed and the course also has a soft spike policy. In addition, no glass containers are allowed on the course at any time.

All golfers must have their own clubs. Rentals are available. Absolutely no spectators are allowed on the course at any time. Tee times can be booked online or by calling ahead and are available up to 14 days in advance.

The Mare Island Café is open for all meals, including breakfast. You can get their menu from the website. Beer and liquor are served at the clubhouse.

Playing Hints:

The first four holes are pretty straightforward, but the only par five, hole five can be a bit more difficult. It's best to try to power the ball as far as possible and then use a 3 or 5 wood to get on the green from there.

The eighth hole is definitely tricky and is cut in half by a large lake. Again, your best bet is to use your driver to get over it in one shot and then iron out the rest of the hole.

Although the fifteenth hole looks like an easy par three, you'll have to be especially careful to avoid the bunkers on either side of the green.

Long Irons - These are irons with smaller amounts of loft that will make shots that go farther than the loftier irons.

Loose Impediment - This term covers any natural item on the course that is not solidly in place, stuck to the ball, or growing. Some items that could fall under this term would include animals, fallen branches, small rocks like pebbles, and other easily moved items.

Lost Ball - The rules of golf declare a bell to be lost if it meets any of the following conditions: If it has not been located within five minutes of the search starting; within the five minutes, a ball has been found, but it cannot be identified as belonging to the player searching for their ball; The ball is announced as lost by the player before five minutes of searching have gone by.

Low Ball and Total - This is a type of bet made by teams, points are scored by both the lowest overall score made by partners, and each team's best ball.

Lying - This term does not have anything to do with the term “lie.” Lying is used to announce how many shots that have been made by a golfer on the current hole. “Lying two” as an example announces that the player has already made his second shot on the hole and is due to make the third shot.

Mallet - This is a term to describe a type of putter that has a heavy, large head. This is reminiscent of something like the mallets used in croquet.

Marker - There are many uses for the term marker in golf. The item that marks the teeing ground's front boundary is one. Another is used to describe a competitor who has scored during stroke play. And markers that keep track of score or where a ball is are a few other uses.

Marshal - This is an official of a tournament that is charged with the handling of the crowd of spectators and ensuring that they maintain proper order.

Mashie - Another type of lofted club that has fallen out of use, although the five iron is sometimes referred to by this name.

Mashie-Iron - This is yet another type of lofted club that is now out of use which has a lesser amount of loft than a mashie had. As well, the four iron is occasionally called this.

Mashie - Niblick – For our next out of use lofted iron, we have the mashie-niblick, this is a club that has more loft than a mashie, but less than a niblick. Either the five or the six irons may go by this name.

Match Play - This is a type of competition where each hole of the course is a contest and the victory of the whole match is won by the team or player which has won the greatest number of holes. A hole where both teams make the same score is halved. In match play “one up” is used to designate a team that is one point ahead of the competition. If one team gets a lead that over the other that is greater than the number of the holes that have yet to be played, the match ends with that team declared the victors.

Coyote Moon Golf Course is located near Lake Tahoe, CA (This is one of my favorite courses... Played it when they first opened before they had their license to sell beer... Beer was free! Water you had to pay for.)

Phone: 530-587-0886

Website: http://www.golftahoe.com/coyote-moon

Course History:

Coyote Moon is a fairly new golf course but it has been incredibly well received and quickly shot to fame. Although it is one of the most difficult courses to master in this area, it is also one of the most enjoyable to play. Professionals will find it challenging, but even novices will be able to enjoy a round without feeling too intimidated. The scenery alone makes this well worth the trip and overall, this is one of the nicest courses in the area.

What You Need to Know:

This course is very eco-friendly and has numerous features that make it a very "green" course. There may be some areas that are parked off from the public and the management asks that visitors observe these rules. That's a small price to pay considering the overall beauty of the course.

Although no dress code is specified, we highly recommend traditional golf attire since this is a more conservative course. The facilities are definitely top notch and the grill is a definite must-stop-by. They are open every day for breakfast and lunch, and the bar is open until 7pm.

Playing Hints:

The terrain makes for a very challenging round of golf and the management states that you'll need to use just about every club and every technique at your disposal to beat this course. It's definitely one of the toughest courses to play and you'll find that distance combined with accuracy will make your game a lot easier and will keep your scores higher.

The sixth hole is particularly challenging and you'll be facing a water hazard right from the tee. Keep to the left a little bit and keep in mind that your shot will be pulled towards the water. On the fourteenth hole you may feel as though you're playing hopscotch, not golf, as you try to avoid the rough. Try to make your tee shot as long as possible and head straight. This should put you in a great position to make it to the green in about another shot with the right club and the right amount of power.
