Castle Oaks Golf Club is situated on the historic Preston Farmlands. The Preston Castle, built in 1894 overlooks the rolling, oak-studded hills of the course. The course opened a century later but it blends in beautifully with the existing terrain, utilizing the Sutter and Mule Creeks and mature trees as natural hazards.
There are few courses that offer this quality of golf for the relatively low price of $42 on weekdays, $52 on weekends. In the Bay Area, the fees would be closer to $75, or higher.
