Mayacama Golf Club Course Review

The Mayacama sits on a beautiful piece of property just sixty miles North of San Francisco, being a true-players golf club if there ever was one. The terrain upon which the Mayacama was built is located deep in the heart of the oak covered rolling hills of Sonoma County and the golf course was built and designed by the famous architect Jack Nicklaus. Keep in mind that what were dealing with here is a private resort, available just for its members and their guest only and also its a walk-only golf club, boasting maybe the best greens on the West Coast, and thats something to write home about. The most interesting feature of the Mayacama golf course is represented by the terrains natural elevation changes, which work in tandem with Jack Nicklauss strategic routing and bunkering, thus providing the players with a challenging experience and lots of fun in the process.

This golf course is rather modest in terms of size, as it has a length of just 6800 yards, yet the slope rating is a respectable 153; the fairways are generous and the majestic oaks which are scattered all around the property add to the golf courses legendary difficulty, as they come into play frequently. If you want to lose while playing Mayacama, just try to overpower the holes. The landscape also plays a big part in the overall golfing experience at Mayacama, as the golf course meanders through a variety of forms of relief, but during your visit here youll definitely be impressed by the impeccable conditioning of the holes, regardless of their location. The Mayacama golf course receives consistent top rankings in prestigious golf magazines, such as Golf Digests top one hundred courses in the US and according to many people I know, this is one of Jack Nickalus best works, i.e. paying a visit here will make for a once in a life time experience.
