I love Bartley, it’s my favorite of the City courses. It isn’t a hard track, pretty short compared to most. You can definitely put up a nice score out there but it has enough variety to keep it interesting. Conditions are usually pretty good- I have never played it and felt like it was in bad shape with the weather considered. Staff is always really nice, they probably have the most consistent beverage cart program in Sac, and the food is good in the clubhouse. Pace of play is pretty much the same as any other muni around here so I don’t see it as anything worth complaining about. Overall just a good, solid local course that my friends and I always have a fun round at ✅

Beautiful course, fantastic bar and pro shop, day couldn’t of been better other than them running out of crown 🥃.

I play this course a few times a year and played twilight yesterday for $28, which is not bad. 4.5 hour round, so pace of play was decent for twilight. Course is tight and in decent shape, however, the slow greens make me not want to come back. Hope it is due to the green punching that took place a few weeks ago.

Beautiful course--not too modern and not too easy either. Rolling hills. Forgiving on distance but challenging enough. Great twilight fee only $28--probably could have finished 18 if we tried. Not busy so we could go as a twosome. Easy to walk and carry. Good taps at the 19th hole too.

Bartley Cavanaugh is a hidden gem to me. You would not realize that this course is as expansive as it is nestled between Southbound I-5 and the Sacramento River. There were many wet areas with casual water along the course. This was mainly due to the amount of water needed to keep the course green. The fairways were mostly narrow bordered by rolling hills. If your tee shot strayed, you were penalized with an uneven lay or trees in your line. The greens were quick but fair. It's really easy to roll a putt by leaving a lengthy comebacker. The clubhouse staff was warm and welcoming. Due to lack of space, there is not a driving range. There are only 2 lanes to hit into a net. You have to bring your own balls to hit there as well, unless someone left some undesirables behind. The putting green was considerably slower than the actual played greens. We did stay for lunch after our round. The quality of the food and beverage was as expected in quality. The portion sizes were a bit on the small side for the price. The service was lacking in speed and attention. Our group was on the larger side, broken into three separate checks. The orders that were taken first and last were served first while the second group's food did not come out until close to end of everyone else's meals. Expectations based on advertising and pricing were sadly not met. I will play the course again, but may make another choice when choosing to eat in the restaurant after.
