Best golf course experience in Redding and it's not even close. Fairways are in great shape, greens are phenomenal and fast. Definitely one of the most aesthetically pleasing courses in Northern California. Also the best bloody mary in town.

Three things: 1. Very friendly atmosphere, the people in the proshop were helpful and nice. 2. You can tell the new owners and the workers are doing/did a great job at restoring the course. 3. Very beautiful, quiet, and relaxing. Overall my favorite course in Redding so far and it’s only getting better!

Tierra Oaks does not meander. It confronts. The course stretches through the dry Northern California hills like a taut question, winding with architectural intent—each fairway a corridor of judgment. The oaks, from which it draws its name, are not ornamental. They stand like quiet sentinels, unyielding and wise, shaping the play in ways that demand reverence rather than bravado. This is not a forgiving course. It punishes the careless, not out of cruelty, but because that is its nature. The bunkers are not traps; they are inevitabilities. The greens, fast and firm, do not welcome the ball so much as challenge it to stop—an interaction that borders on philosophical conflict. To play Tierra Oaks is to measure one’s precision against an environment that neither bends nor blinks. Hole after hole, you are reminded that nothing here is accidental. The elevation changes do not flatter your swing—they expose it. The doglegs do not tempt—they test. The water hazards reflect your ambition back at you, perfectly still, waiting. And yet, despite the scrutiny, the course does not gloat. It is not dramatic. It is stoic, composed, even elegant in its cruelty. The routing through the natural contours of the land reveals an intelligence—not of man, but of earth, asserting its own rhythm beneath the manicured surface. The course is maintained meticulously, almost obsessively, as if to hold chaos at bay. But just beyond the edges of every fairway, nature waits, patient and wild. To play a round at Tierra Oaks is to enter into a pact. You agree to respect the design, to carry your own frustration, and to return—changed, if only slightly. For the course offers no illusion of victory. Only the fleeting clarity of a shot well struck, and the humbling silence that follows. Five stars.

With the new ownership, within 3 months the course is in great shape and the new owner has a vision of what a course should be . I looked so forward to becoming a member and not disappointed at all . Also some of the best food of any course I’ve played. . If you played this course last year 2022 and had a bad rating for it , you should go try it again .

Over the past year, the new owners at Tierra Oaks have made many noticeable improvements to the course and restaurant. The club has a very welcoming atmosphere and the staff are always very friendly and professional. The food at the restaurant is consistently great, whether you pop in for Sunday brunch or dinner and music at one of the Friday Nite live events. Thank you to all the dedicated individuals who have made Tierra Oaks the best golf club in Redding.
