California Golf Resort: Winchester Country Club

MEADOW VISTA, Calif. –Winchester Country Club, a private, equity-based golf and country club located just east of Sacramento, was recently ranked #54 nationally in Golfweek Magazine’s Top 100 Best Residential Courses for 2007. Winchester ranked ahead of other notable clubs including Reynolds Plantation - Great Waters (#66), Desert Mountain - Chiricahua (#64), Old Greenwood (#67), and Desert Highlands (#70), to name a few.

Winchester Country Club is no stranger to such accolades having garnered an impressive list of awards since its opening in 1999. For example, the clubhouse placed first in Golf Inc. magazine’s 2006 clubhouse competition in the over 22,000 square-foot category. It made Golf Magazine Living’s (sister publication to Golf Magazine) list of the “50 Best Golf Communities in America” and has also repeatedly been selected by Links magazine’s as one of “America’s 100 Premier Properties.”

Winchester Country Club unfolds over a densely forested pocket of the Sierra Nevada foothills. The 385 estate homesites range in size from one to six acres, making for a low-density, spacious community that preserves Winchester Country Club’s tree lined high-country experience. Also available are 24 custom cottages with every amenity, ranging from 2,500 sq ft to 4,500 sq ft adjacent to the clubhouse which provide another exciting life style choice for those who are often on the move. At the community’s centerpiece is an 18-hole championship golf course co-designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. and Jr. So seamlessly integrated are the golf course and dwellings with the forested property that it prompted Jones, Jr. to say, “At first glance, it was obvious that the golf course would take on a natural look and feel. The trick was to marry the fairways and greens to the surrounding terrain, and, much to our delight, we accomplished this goal with flying colors.”
