Winchester Country Club is located in the Sierra foothills just outside of Meadow Vista. As one of the premier private golf clubs in the Sacramento area, this Private Club represents one of the last collaborations between Robert Trent Jones, Sr. and Robert Trent Jones, Jr., who co-designed this elegant layout that unfolds across 223 forested acres in the Sierra Nevada foothills above Sacramento.
The property stands as a signature Robert Trent Jones Jr designed course. Previously known as Winchester Golf Club, the design also incorporates such natural features as streams, lakes, and granite outcroppings. Five sets of tees and generous fairways create playing options for golfers of every ability.
Award-Winning Robert Trent Jones Golf Course Design
One of our challenges at Winchester was to design natural golf holes on an occasionally steep site, while creating a golf course worthy of its dramatic setting. As one solution, we built rock retaining walls that helped bolster certain areas of play and simultaneously added an aesthetic element to the landscape. Another challenge was to seamlessly integrate the course with 385 home sites ranging from one to six acres. The result is a natural golf course where the environment dominates-evidenced by the deer and other wildlife that visit and reside there.
Sierra Foothills Championship Golf Course Layout
Winchester plays through three distinct topographies, starting out in steep woodlands, emerging into rolling prairies, and winding amid natural rock outcroppings. It encompasses several crossings over wetlands and ravines and requires shots shaped around towering evergreens. Three of the par threes stretch to over 200 yards and call for daring carries from the back tees, which play to 7,144 yards. The course offers stunning views of the Sierra Nevada foothills and surrounding landscape. This is truly one of Robert Trent Jones, Sr's best championship golf courses.
